About This Item
Ostfildern, Hatje Cantz, 2008. 4°, 239 S., m. zahlr., teiw. farb. Abb., Kart. m. OU., Tadell. Mit Beiträgen von Brooks Adams, Holger Broeker u.a. Anlässlich der gleichnamigen Ausstellung im Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg 2008. Mit Werkverzeichnis. - Philip Taaffe (*1955) wurde Anfang der 1980er Jahre mit der Bewegung der Appropriation Art international bekannt. Er ging zunächst von der Tradition der gegenstandslosen Malerei des 20. Jahrhunderts aus und verband seine Konzeption abstrakter Kunst mit Untersuchungen zum Ornament. Durch einen längeren Aufenthalt in Neapel und Reisen durch Nordafrika, den Mittleren Osten, Indien, Südamerika und Japan entwickelte sich seine Begeisterung für die Ornamente und Abstraktionstechniken unterschiedlicher Kulturen, die ihm bis heute als Fundus für seine Arbeit dienen. Seit der Mitte der 1990er Jahre erweitert Taaffe seine Quellen um Naturdarstellungen, die vorwiegend aus historischen Büchern und wissenschaftlichen Abhandlungen stammen. Nach eigenem Bekunden ist der Künstler „stets auf der Suche nach Repräsentanten, die für ihre Art so typisch sind, dass sie fast schon als abstrakte Elemente existieren (...).“ Taaffe variiert und verarbeitet sein Motivvokabular, in dem er Formen, Symbole und Ornamente in neuen überraschenden Konstellationen, als Fragmente und in leuchtenden Farben auf die Leinwand und damit in einen neuen Kontext bringt. Sein Werk ist in Museen und Sammlungen in New York, Wien, Rom, Hamburg, Berlin vertreten. Die erste große Retrospektive seiner Werke von 1980 bis 2008 mit dem Titel „Das Leben der Formen“ fand 2008 im Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg statt 010
