Description

After questioning the authenticity and the autonomy of the art object, the artist Sherrie Levine painted game boards in 1985: stripes, checks and chevrons. In his twist of gameboard paintings, Urban Zellweger breaks with Levine's denial of authorship. The fantasies he creates build on the modern utopia and its aftermath and, at the same time, purport a playfulness that is humorous and irreverent.
