"I have maybe two or three things on my mind, and some might be impossible. Some might be in contradiction to other orders, but I will still try them". (A. Oehlen)
I have maybe two or three things on my mind, and some might be impossible. Some might be in contradiction to other orders, but I will still try them.
—Albert Oehlen
Gagosian Gallery is pleased to present recent work by Albert Oehlen.
