Artwork location: United States

Kiki Kogelnik an Austrian by birth and training lived in the United States for many years. She is exhibited widely in Europe and the U.S. Her early work was primarily abstract, but soon evolved into cut out figure forms in space age settings and clothing. These early interests continue to appear in the present figure paintings of women. "Fashion imagery relates directly to our fantasy expectations of the world... expectations which are never met in real life where people are not perfectly attired, posed, cool, aloof and elegant," says Ms. Kogelnik. Moving to Paris in 1959 and to New York in 1961, she worked in a mode that combined aspects of European figuration and American Pop Art with an increasing feminist consciousness. Sometimes her style mimicked fashion illustration to comment on society's depiction of women. In 1966, Ms. Kogelnik married George Schwarz, a radiation oncologist at St. Vincent's Hospital in Manhattan. He eventually owned several New York restaurants, which she helped design. Among them were today's Elephant and Castle in Greenwich Village, the NoHo Star and the Temple Bar on Lafayette Street, and Keen's Chop House on West 36th Street. In 1967, Kiki declared that contemporary art comes from the artificial. The human condition has undergone fundamental changes in this century. Traditional values and assumptions have been attacked and upset and not been replaced. Our congenial view of life and security in nature has shattered. The ever-increasing domination of technology and mechanical processes in our civilization have reduced our humanity and alienated us from our natural environment. Hence, the appropriateness of Kiki's feeling that contemporary art comes from the artificial. As she once portrayed herself with a gigantic scissor, Kogelnik tailors a life to size for us. The idols of society drop their masks, displaying anemic faces, their bloodless beauty and disassociation with the real world. Behind all this stands the artist with a knowing and somewhat melancholic smile, fully engaged, holding up a mirror to the face of our time.

Presentation

Kiki Kogelnik is an Austrian artist born on January 22, 1935 in Bleiburg and died on February 1st, 1997 in Vienna. Her work includes painting, sculpture and installations. She is considered an Austrian representative of pop art. Kiki Kogelnik started her studies in 1954 at the University of Applied Arts of Vienna and then a year later, she joined the Academy of Fine Arts of Vienna. She belongs to a circle of young avant garde artists besides Arnulf Rainer, Wolfgang Hollegha, Josef Mikl, Markus Prachensky, Maria Lassnig who met at the Nachst St. Stephan d'Otto Mauer Gallery. Where she presented her abstract works which were inspired on the work of Serge Poliakoff.

In 1958 and 1959, she met American artist Sam Francis in Paris, with whom she moved to America in 1961. She spent a year in Santa Monica and then moved to New York in 1962. There she frequented Roy Linchtenstein, Claes Oldenburg, Andy Warhol, Larry Rivers, Tom Wesselmann. Kogelnik's work is strongly influenced by the pronounced colors and supports of pop art. Unlike many pop artists, she avoids the glorification of consumption and the representation of everyday objects.

During the 70s, She focused on the subject of the woman and her image criticizing her role advertisings. She treats feminist ideas with irony and with the freshness of pop aesthetics. In 1978, she did a short film about punk artists Jim Carroll at the CBGB. During the 80s, her paintings included ordinary objects, human limbs and characters in her new aesthetic approach. During the 90s, human limbs were more and more present and the faces more abstracts. She also did glass sculptures, drawings, and engravings criticizing mercantilism and decoration.
