Throughout her career, Kogelnik employed an exuberant palette, which belied its often apocalyptic subjects; from macabre skulls and severed limbs to disembowelled figures. These deathly bodies, rendered disposable in an increasingly mechanised world, sound a note of caution in an era continually transformed by new technology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a survey of Kogelnik’s creative practice, considering her journey and contribution in the context of postwar society.  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Modern Art Oxford","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41188335878325,"sku":"BK-MAO-FMTM-001-M","price":5.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0401\/6226\/3204\/files\/IMG_2851_b77868b9-eae1-4086-bb9f-7d374e9802ac.jpg?v=1790590618"},{"product_id":"kiki-kogelnik-now-is-the-time","title":"Kiki Kogelnik: Now Is the Time","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eHaving completed her studies at the Academy of Applied Arts and the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna in the 1950s, Kiki Kogelnik was part of the young St. Stephan Group. After extensive travels through Europe and through her acquaintance with Sam Francis, Kogelnik relocated to New York in 1962, where she began to work within the newly forming Pop Art movement and developed friendships with artists such as Roy Liechtenstein, Claes Oldenburg and Carolee Schneemann. This extremely incisive period at the beginning of the 1960s also signified a reorientation in her artistic work.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe artist explicitly addressed her interest in, but also her critical attitude towards, consumer society, technical progress, medicine and diagnostics, and the (female) body and its implications, as well as the reality of her own life as an artist, mother, and wife, starting in the early 1960s - long before today's omnipresent discourses on gender equality, medical ethics, the digital age, and sustainable lifestyles. With humour, sharp punchlines, a bold aesthetic and sense of mission of pop and new materials such as vinyl, Kiki Kogelnik found her unique voice and, from today's perspective, proves to be one of the most diverse and independent examples of early postmodern art.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kehrer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45523685736706,"sku":"BK-KEH-KKNIT-001-F","price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0401\/6226\/3204\/files\/IMG_0744_de2f1ffe-ed99-42de-ad10-0929d5a86d61.jpg?v=1791300820"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.booksaboutart.co.uk\/collections\/kiki-kogelnik.oembed","provider":"Books About Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
