Miettinen Collection I Salon Dahlmann

Rainer Fetting @rainerfetting
Blumen &
until 31. December 2021

The Miettinen Collection in cooperation with Galerie Robert Grunenberg @robertgrunenbergberlin is proud to present Rainer Fetting: Blumen &, a solo exhibition of the renowned German painter and sculptor. Rainer Fetting achieved international recognition with the "New Wild Ones" in the early 1980s. With its elements of Expressionist painting, his art formed in opposition to the conventions of Abstract and Conceptual Art toward the end of the 1970s is highly topical again today. Fetting's painting is a highly significant precursor for the "q***r" discourses on gender, identity, the individual, and power that not only shape the works of younger generations in our globalized art world but also current mainstream debates. His "expressive" portraits, cityscapes, and landscapes as well as the still lifes and flower paintings on which this exhibition focuses capture psychosocial energies that are evident in every painterly decision he makes. Works from four decades are presented here, some of them unpublished, early drawn studies and paintings from the time Fetting was commuting between New York and Berlin the 1980s and 1990s in addition to recent paintings, works on paper, and sculptures.

An illustrated book is published by Hatje Cantz Verlag @hatjecantzverlag in conjunction with the exhibition, with text by Oliver Koerner von Gustorf @oliverkoerner and Norman Rosenthal @rosenthal.norman

RAINER FETTING (*1949) studied painting at the Hochschule der Künste, Berlin, 1972–78. In 1977, he founded the Galerie am Moritzplatz together with Helmut Middendorf, Salomé, Bernd Zimmer, Anne Jud and Berthold Schepers. From 1983-1994 he lived in New York and Berlin. Recent solo exhibitions have been shown at the Berlinische Galerie, Berlin, and Schloss Gottorf, Schleswig. Rainer Fetting lives and works in Berlin and Westerland.

The exhibition can be visited every Saturday, 12-6pm. Please sign up: [email protected]

We are delighted to announce our upcoming exhibition „Blumen &“ by Rainer Fetting @rainerfetting at the Miettinen Collection.

11. September until 31. December 2021
In cooperation with Galerie Robert Grunenberg @robertgrunenbergberlin

Rainer Fetting achieved international recognition with the "New Wild Ones" in the early 1980s. Hardly any movement in post-war Germany’s history of painting has been both as fiercely celebrated and as ferociously ostracized, as the so-called „Heftige Malerei“ („Fierce Painting“) that emerged in West Berlin’s art scene in the late 1970s and early 1980s. With its elements of Expressionist painting, his art formed in opposition to the conventions of Abstract and Conceptual Art toward the end of the 1970s is highly topical again today. Fetting's artwork is a highly significant precursor for the "q***r" discourses on gender, identity, the individual, and power that not only shape the works of younger generations in our globalized art world but also current mainstream debates. His "expressive" portraits, cityscapes, and landscapes as well as the still lifes and flower paintings on which this exhibition focuses capture psychosocial energies that are evident in every painterly decision he makes. Works from four decades are presented here, some of them unpublished, early drawn studies and paintings from the time Fetting was commuting between New York and Berlin the 1980s and 1990s in addition to recent paintings, works on paper, and sculptures.

NOW ON VIEW: we are excited to announce the opening of our new cabinet exhibition Perspective Shift by Helena Kauppila @helena.kauppila. The exhibition is open every Saturday, 12 - 6 pm by appointment only, until 26 June 2021.

“Perspective Shift is a window into Helena Kauppila's art and a starting point for the broader exhibit Klaus Haapaniemi Design and the Miettinen Collection.
A mathematician turned visual artist, Kauppila's process reflects the habits of mind that a mathematician develops: precision of expression, skill in balancing intuition against rigorous logic, a facility for high-level abstraction, and the ability to modularize complex situations. Although Kauppila's work is representational, she derives her understanding of representation from mathematics, which can get quite abstract. Kauppila remarks ’I am primarily concerned with the surface structure and in creating a work that is able to communicate joy.’”

On Saturday 29 May, Miettinen Collection founder Timo Miettinen and artist Helena Kauppila will greet the guests personally at the Collection and offer a tour.

To book your visit, please send an email to [email protected] at least 24 hours before your appointment, and provide a same day negative COVID-19 test upon your visit.

Despite the current situation, various works from the Miettinen Collection are currently on loan and featured in exhibitions around the world.

The work “Ohne Titel“ by Joachim Bandau is part of his solo exhibition “Die Nichtschönen. Werke 1967-1974“ at Kunsthalle Basel @kunsthallebasel, on view through 6 June 2021.

"Joachim Bandau was just over thirty years old when he began to forge the body of sculptures and drawings that marks a distinctive phase in his early practice […] This exhibition concentrates on a selection of key pieces from that period, some rarely or never seen since they were first made […] [Bandau’s sculptures] are at once technoid and bodily, minimal and monstrous […], making highly political statements while evading the look of ‘political art‘. Thus, despite having been produced decades ago, it is their extraordinary relevance to contemporary artistic practices and to the current political moment we are currently living that motivates their exhibition here and now."
