Artist

Martin Kippenberger

1953–1997 · German

  • Hochschule für bildende Künste Hamburg

Martin Kippenberger built an intentionally unruly practice from painting, sculpture, posters, books, architecture, jokes and social networks. He treated the identity of the artist itself as material, moving between self-deprecation, appropriation and relentless production.
