The exhibition wants to reveal the different modes by which artists aquire their artistic idols. It presents works and positions that are obviously related with existing, preceding artworks by taking them into account in different manners and elaborating their own, new perspectives of the originals.
Among the methods used by the artists to intervene in the pictures' history are citation, montage, paraphrase, the Pasticchio and even copy and parody. The chosen mode of aquisition uncovers the artist's attitude towards the original material; the idolized work serves to determine and to confirm his own position. Beyond pure aesthetical recourses traditions are thus taken into account to enter new figurative grounds.
A corresponding catalogue has been published.

Nue descendante un escalier, 2006 (aboe: video still)
Dege's video combines the motion studies by Edward Muybridge, the cubistc-futuristic painting style by Marcel Duchamp and the photography related work "Ema" by Gerhard Richter to create a new work on the scene of a shopping mall escalator.

Druehl's approach is basesd upon the production of some kind of remix of art historical models that retains the possibility to identify the original while dissolving the respective context and reducing the mostly narrative character to a minimum. (Peter Gerlach)

Freche Kopie! 2002/3 (Courtesy Arteversum, Duesseldorf)
The underlying material of the series „Freche Kopie!“ ("Barefaced copy!") is taken from print media, digitally assembled and materially approved: No doubt, this must be a work by Georges de la Tour. What seems to be nothing but a fake painting at first sight is in fact an attack of our ideas of provenience and reality - Eicher is concerned with profound irritations.
