Lot Essay

“These very painterly works are somewhat ironic considering Krebber’s practice, which could be paradoxically defined as resuscitating painting only to artfully ‘end’ it. Among past conceptual jabs, he’s painted white triangles over store-bought animal-print fabric, overlaid transcribed lectures on comic-book screenprints and presented an installation of ephemera in the back office of an otherwise empty gallery space.” (D. Everitt Howe, ‘Michael Krebber’, in Art Review, January – February, p. 121).
