In 1996, the Galerie Jérôme de Noirmont exhibited for the first time in its walls 28 works of the great German artist a.r. Penck, who has inspired many contemporary artists among whom Keith Haring, through its search of a universal artistic language with the Standart figure.
The essay by Bernard Marcadé, La Mort de la Dialectique, comments and places the works of Penck in the historical context of a divided Germany, basing itself on the artist’s quotations, poems and manifestos.
Moreover, it is followed by quotations and a poem, La Mort du Temps, written for the occasion of the exhibition by the artist himself.
