Martin Kippenberger (°1953, Dortmund, Germany; †1997, Vienna, Austria) attached the same importance to his multiples as to his 'unique' works. That was in line with his attitude to life and the arts: he could transform anything into art, from the most banal, unacceptable object in the eyes of the art world, to the most elevated and socially acceptable theory. He did not think in terms of hierarchy, either in the field of subjects or in the field of various media and supports which he used to express his ideas. However, his work is always characterised by his interest in humanity.
The exhibition presents a complete overview of Kippenberger's multiples, in a display method which is reminiscent of his own presentations.
