Katharina Grosse
1961, lives and works in Berlin
Since the 1990s Katharina Grosse
has built up a repertoire consisting
of large painted canvasses and bright
acrylic colours sprayed onto both
interior and exterior walls, ceilings
and floors. It is a way of working
related to Colour Field Painting and
Abstract Expressionism, between
Impressionism and graffiti,
performance, process and
installation art. She investigates the
limits of painting by using different
concepts belonging to contemporary
and traditional artistic expression, in
which making and presenting
paintings continues to occupy an
important place.
