Felix Droese’s sensational and much discussed appearance at Documenta in 1982, and again at the German pavilion of the 1984 Venice Biennale, was due not only to the monumentality of his work, but also to its radical and subversive content at political as well as at ethical and religious levels
This catalogue was published in 1986 by Kunstmuseum Luzern (also on behalf of Württembergischer Kunstverein Stuttgart) and documents these institutions’ joint presentation of the artist’s first retrospective. Droese’s work is here presented in its entirety: drawings, sculptures and paintings. In 1993, at his museum of contemporary art—the New York Kunsthalle— Martin Kunz was again to present an important retrospective of Felix Droese’s work (an exhibition which was then to travel to the IMF in Washington, D. C.) accompanied by the publication of a catalogue that completed and enriched his personal interest in the artist.
