Museum Bensheim, Germany
July 6–September 1, 2024
Im Papierground was an exhibition devoted entirely to Neo Rauch’s drawings and paintings on paper, which have remained relatively unknown to the general public until now. In addition to impressive large-format oil paintings, a representative selection of works in pencil, ballpoint pen and felt-tip pen were also shown.
Rauch stated, "Drawing touches on my painting path in a meandering manner; it occasionally crosses it, but does not want to have a direction-setting or pioneering effect. It sometimes seems to me like a terrier that accompanies the hunter as it roams through the undergrowth. More nervous and instinctively driven than its master, it occasionally tracks down things that can surprise."
