Summary:

David Salle has earned international praise for his provocative blend of borrowed imagery and figure-based representation. Along with Julian Schnabel, Eric Fischl, and Susan Rothenberg, Salle was one of the "new image" painters, figurative artists who wanted to free themselves from minimalism and conceptualism. Appropriating images from television, film, and advertising into large-scale, colorful paintings, Salle's multi-layered art references the image-saturated environment created by the current media machinery. His combinations are effortless from soap opera and Courbet to porno film and medical documentary. This exhibition catalogue surveys Salle's impressive output, ranging from his early work to the present, and includes an illustrated biography, essays by Rudi Fuchs and biologist/critic Arjen Mulder, and an in-depth interview by American novelist Frederic Tuten.
