André Butzer May 2020

ICH MALE AUSSCHLIESSLICH ABSTRAKT – IMMER. AUCH WENN FIGUREN ZU ERKENNEN SIND. A couple of months ago, the opening bid at Sotheby’s for a picture was 40,000 dollars, but it ended up fetching 175,000 dollars. Philips advertised another for 25,000 dollars and sold it for 143,000 dollars. Today, André Butzer is one of the most influential and successful contemporary artists of his generation, and his pieces achieve record prices every year.

André Butzer: Galerie Max Hetzler April 2018

I was lucky to see André Butzer’s new paintings on a sunny winter day, with natural light coming in to make visible what is hidden in their black surfaces. There were eight big and nine medium-size dark paintings in Galerie Max Hetzler’s Bleibtreustraße location, along with one very large and colorful canvas, a small work on paper executed in colored pencil and crayon, and an artist’s book.

Featuring André Butzer Winter 2015

Woher kamen Deine ersten Bilder, die noch ganz anders waren als heute, voll mit gegensätzlichen Figuren, Referenzen und Geschichte?

André Butzer: Keine Ahnung, man fängt halt an. Und am Anfang ist da so viel wie möglich drin. Man holt alles rein in die Bilder, was man hat, Farbe, Form, Ausdruck, Themen, Widersprüche. Und dann hat man eine Weile Zeit, das alles wieder rauszuschmeißen.

André Butzer: I Will Always be a Colorist October 2011

Well, Richter at Burger King was first ... then I went to the museum to check out some of his pieces in the real, which was a bit disappointing for me in com parison to the posters. I saw the Jorn paint ing on an upper floor of the museum as part of the Guggenheim collection that was on display.

André Butzer at Metro Pictures June/July 2008

Visitors to Andre Butzer’s recent show at Metro Pictures found themselves, in the opening gallery, stared down by four giant, cartoon like figures from 10-by-7-foot paintings barely big enough to hold them. All four wear antique, stiff white collars above shapeless clothes. The canvases on which they appear are so thickly impastoed as to verge on the cultural.
