Mitchell-Innes & Nash
534 W 26th St Norbert Schwontkowski Schmetterling (2006) |
The exhibition presents a dozen new paintings by Schwontkowski among a number of paintings by modern and contemporary masters selected by Schwontkowski himself. Works by Forrest Bess, Philip Guston, Alex Katz and Pablo Picasso hang alongside Schwontkowski’s paintings and serve as an informal homage to these artists while demonstrating Schwontkowski’s affinities with a range of 20th -century artistic traditions.
Born in 1949 in Bremen, Germany, Schwontkowski has regularly exhibited in galleries and public institutions throughout Europe since the late 1970s. In Spring 2006 he was included in the Berlin Biennial and was the subject of a special exhibition at the Rubell Collection in Miami in December 2005. Represented in Germany by Contemporary Fine Arts, Berlin and Produzentengalerie, Hamburg, Schwontkowski is a professor of painting at the Hochschule für Bildende Künst at Hamburg.
