rudolf stingel


Rudolf Stingel is one of the greatest living painters. In the past his work "has taken aim at the transcendental ambitions and metaphysical loftiness of various moments from the history of art." His new show at Paula Cooper furthers this by deepening "his exploration of portraiture to present a series of new paintings that constitute a kind of cultural self-portrait." Very timely.
