Join Gagosian for a tour of the group exhibition American Pastoral.

Karin Kneffel

Through March 8, 2020
Museum Frieder Burda, Baden-Baden, Germany
www.museum-frieder-burda.de

Karin Kneffel’s lush and eloquent pictures are perfectly constructed impossibilities—collapsing heterogeneous places and incidents in a flawlessly executed, seductively realist manner. Although many of her sources actually exist, the resulting images are cunningly wrought scenes inspired by the many lives of art, and which highlight painting’s unique ability to simultaneously uphold and destroy illusions.
