ANTON HENNING - und immer eine Gute Linie

ANTON HENNING (1964-)

Berlin-based artist Anton Henning designed the interior of the bistro of the old museum Bahnhof Rolandseck, which now belongs to Richard Meier's new Arp Museum extension. The restaurant features amazing murals, paintings, handmade luminaries and light boxes. Upon the extension's inauguration, the museum also exhibited 140 graphic works by Henning made between 1984 and 2002, alongside sculptures from 2006 and 2007. This first comprehensive monograph documents the work in the exhibition.
Born in 1964 in Berlin, Anton Henning is represented in New York by Zach Feuer Gallery. His 2006 show there was reviewed thus by The Washington Post: "Who knows what to do with work by the German artist Anton Henning? It doesn't fit any of the normal pigeonholes of contemporary art. It doesn't make clear what its goals could be, or how it relates to other works we might have seen. That's what makes it so intriguing."
