Wilhelm Sasnal
Painting as Prop
Book — Aug 21, 2024
Wilhelm Sasnal is a contemporary artist, known for his atmospheric paintings and films that reference mass media, daily life, and art history. We are proud to introduce a publication in the occasion of his solo exhibition Painting as Prop.
The publication features four new essays and one conversation with the artist. Several paintings, some of which played a role as props in Sasnal’s recent film project The Assistant, take cues from archival images, banal snapshots, popular culture, and art history. The accompanying texts introduce Sasnal’s distinct portraiture, modernist inspirations, and the development of his first feature film.
The catalog is first published by Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam and Roma Publications.
