Friedrich Kunath

Hardback

You've Told That Joke Twice

Born in former East Germany and now based in Los Angeles, Friedrich Kunath makes work whose core lies in the fusion of the two cultures. Kunath's paintings combine the sublime aesthetic of German Romanticism with motifs from western popular culture, incorporating lyrical references, cartoon imagery, and album covers with his signature style combining pathos and a witty sense of humor. This book features works from the past thirty years alongside his newest work in installation, in which he assembles vast collections of books, posters, and miscellaneous objects alongside his own art.
