On the occasion of what would have been KP Brehmer’s 80th birthday, the Hamburger Kunsthalle is devoting a comprehensive exhibition to the German painter, graphic artist and filmmaker.
KP Brehmer belongs to the generation of artists who used the American Pop Art idiom to develop a critical German brand of »capitalist realism« – the title René Block chose for the portfolio he published in 1968 of works by KP Brehmer and his contemporaries Sigmar Polke, Gerhard Richter, Wolf Vostell and Konrad Lueg.
