ANTON HENNING – GREAT HITS
2014-12-22Anton Henning, born in Berlin in 1964, whose artistic career since the mid-eighties has taken him to Berlin, London and New York, has been based in the countryside above Berlin for over 20 years now. He lives and works there with unabated zest on a work which due to its sheer opulence, complexity and playfulness cannot be classified amongst the common -isms of art criticism.
The self-educated Anton Henning paints, photographs, films, sculpts, draws, makes music, designs and builds whole rooms. He virtually challenges the risk of provoking misunderstandings and polarising them without directly addressing the political side. In the figurative sense he is dismantling the entire history of art up to the present day, in order to completely reconstruct it. A kind of artistic synthesis.
