Neo Rauch (born 1960) is one of the most important figurative painters of his
generation and a pioneer of the so-called new Leipzig school of painting.
Gespenster (Ghosts) is published for Rauch's most recent solo exhibition of the same
name at Galerie Eigen+Art Leipzig, in 2013. The catalogue contains the first reproductions
of the 20 new paintings that were shown in the exhibition, as well as detailed views
of the canvases and installation shots. Rauch's new paintings portray brooding
phantasmagoric scenarios composed of several different snapshots that spatially
(and sometimes narratively) overlay each other. A rusty, red-brown undertone
suffuses the pictures, its muteness emphasized against intensely chromatic areas.
Unlike the large-scale paintings, Rauch's smaller works are softer and more graphic,
with isolated figures and deserted landscapes, like fragments from completed pictures
that have become independent.
