"What does painting mean today? New York artist Rudolf Stingels
works present a persistent, radical reflection on fundamental questions about
painting. Unusual materials, such as carpet and painted aluminum or Styrofoam
continually disturb the viewer?s notions of art. Painting and sculpture are
joined together; conception and the creative coincidence interplay."
