Lot Essay

A former student of Georg Baselitz at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf, German painter Ulrich Lamsfuss creates immaculate reproductions of photographs culled from archives, magazines and mass media. Extending the legacy of photorealist artists such as Gerhard Richter and Malcolm Morley, his work reflects a society flooded with images, appropriating sources including sales catalogues, art history, the internet, fashion and travel publications, National Geographic and cinema. Painted in 2004, the present work reproduces an advertisement created by the Danish photographer Stefan Jellheden for Louis Vuitton, which was based on a famous 1963 news image of a Vietnamese monk on fire. Blurring the boundaries between painting and photography, Lamsfuss builds his works with painstaking accuracy, plotting his subjects across pencil grids over periods of several weeks. Awarded the Frissiras Museum Contemporary European Painting Award in 2005, he has exhibited throughout Europe and America, featuring in shows at the Kunsthalle Hamburg, the Sprengel Museum, Hannover and the KW Institute for Contemporary Art, Berlin.
