"I have no message. Whatever message you find is your own."
Beautiful overview of the German artist's lithographic work from the 1960s and early '70s. With a style instantly recognizable by its Dali-esque elongated and distorted human figures, full of overt and covert references to earlier artworks, and characterized by a singular and explicit erotic sensibility (for which Wunderlich was accused of indecency by the Hamburg authorities of 1960).Introduced by Raddatz, who explores the ideas of horror he perceives at the heart of Wunderlich's art.
