Live Hard, Create Compulsively, Die Young
I first discovered Martin Kippenberger’s work in London at the Tate Modern a few years ago. I responded to his energized use of various mediums and his sense of dark humor, particularly in his paintings. Apparently he was a crazy-ass mess. He died of liver failure back around the time I first saw his work.
MOMA presents a big retrospective which I will see. Who wants to go? The Times has a review by Holland Cotter: Martin Kippenberger
