“People come along [in twenty years or so] and can say what the work and the artist were really all about. What people will say about me then—or maybe not say—will be the only thing that finally counts. Whether or not I contributed to spreading a good mood. What I’m working on is for people to be able to say that Kippenberger had this really good mood”.

Kippenberger was “widely regarded as one of the most talented German artists of his generation,” according to Roberta Smith of the New York Times. He was at the center of a generation of German enfants terribles including Albert Oehlen, Werner Büttner, Georg Herold, Dieter Göls, and Günther Förg.
“My style is where you see the individual and where a personality is communicated through actions, decisions, single objects and facts, where the whole draws together to form a history.” Untitled , Heavy Burschi with Warhol, c.1989-90
