Friedrich Kunath

Working in a variety of media, including painting, video and drawing, Friedrich Kunath commonly uses text to accompany an image. Kunath explores universal themes of disenchantment, love, desire, vulnerability, hope and despair in works that are often humorous, despite their pathos. 'If you leave me - can I come too', bears the legend in one painting. Friedrich Kunath lives and works in Cologne. His work may be seen in New York at Andrea Rosen Gallery and in Cologne at BQ, and in Los Angeles at Blum & Poe where his next solo exhibition "EMOH" will open Friday, October 24th, 6 – 8 pm and run until December 6, 2008. In lieu of a lecture, Blum & Poe’s director will give us a walk through of Kunath’s exhibition on Wednesday, November 5 at 1pm. While there is not a limited number of spaces for this event, please post if you will be attending this meeting so we have a count.

Meetings will be on Monday Nov. 3rd
