Rudolf Stingel's Biography and Exhibitions at Saatchi-gallery

Rudolf Stingel was born on 1956 in Merano, Italy, currently lives and Works in New York. Stingel says it in his usual no-nonsense, dazzlingly beautiful way. For his sixth show with Cooper since 1994, Stingel -- who would be among my first picks for the next Whitney Biennial -- has left this temple-like space empty except for a gallery-wide floor made of white painted particleboard.

If you know Stingel's work, you know this isn't some clever, leave-the-gallery-empty ruse, or a matter of him toadying up to his dealer (although all artists are capable of this). In fact, this exhibition finds Stingel being as subversive and striking as he always is. In 2002, he covered the walls of this gallery in silver insulation panels and allowed people to mark them up willy-nilly. In 1997, he swathed the floor with a plush carpet and placed a large, perforated, blue foam-core screen near the entry. Before this, he published an "instruction" book that explained how to make his abstract paintings. His unforgettable 1991 New York debut consisted of a vivid orange rug in an otherwise empty gallery. It was one of the best shows of the 1990s.The painting, as proficient as any photo-realist canvas, is by Stingel. The woman is Paula Cooper. The overall effect is celebratory, revelatory, sly and adds up to one of the best shows of the season.

Conclusions:

Rudolf Stingel said. "Artists have always been accused of being decorative. I just went to the extreme." Basically, Stingel has always gone to extremes, making good-looking, self-referential paintings.
