ZWEI DEKADEN MCMXCIX-MMXIX: VOLUME II

This second volume, ZWEI DEKADEN MCMXCIX-MMXIX: VOLUME II, was designed to accompany WADE GUYTON MCMXCIX-MMXIX ZWEI DEKADEN MUSEUM LUDWIG, a comprehensive catalog of exhibitions published at the time of the 2019 exhibition, which presented 112 paintings, 92 drawings, 22 sculptures and a room of books, posters and special editions from more than 20 years of production.

This new volume contains more than 200 installation views—taken by professional photographers as well as by the artist himself—which together provide a circular walk-through of the exhibition and highlight its unique nonchronological structure. Also included in the volume are three dynamic lectures about Guyton’s work by Bettina Funcke, Jeanette Mundt and Kirsty Bell.

“Wade Guyton’s survey exhibition at Museum Ludwig is titled ZWEI DEKADEN MCMXCIX-MMXIX and like this title I would like to establish a dialog between the evolution of his oeuvre and the history of the early twenty-first century.”
