Lot Essay

Grotjahn is not an artist obsessed with positing a wholly unprecedented ‘concept ‘ of art, but rather is concerned with teasing nuanced experience out of existing concepts or constructs according to the opportunities presented by a specific, well-calculated conceit. Nor is he really preoccupied with Ezra Pound’s mandate to ‘make it new’; rather he wants to make it vivid, and applies all of his impressive skill to doing just that.
– Robert Storr (R. Storr, “LA Push-Pull/Po-Mo-Stop-Go,” in Mark Grotjahn, exh. cat., Gagosian Gallery, London, 2009, p. 6)
