Painting In Tongues
Michael Darling, Kai Althoff, ...

The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, 2006

This is an in-depth examination of the work of seven international emerging artists who have embraced a novel and challenging approach to painting.

Bridge House Publishing, 2004

Interesting as an artist's book - not enough for starters
I had great expectations for this book, wanting to find a comprehensive inventory of images of Althoff's work.

The essays are generally informative and give a good idea of the scope of Althoff's ...

Drawing Now: Eight Propositions

6 reviews
Kai Althoff, Laura Hoptman, ...

The Museum of Modern Art, New York, 2002

Provocative Survey

Each section in the catalogue begins with an insightful essay further developing the rich ideas behind the show. The beautiful illustrations and large format of the ...

Heart of Darkness
Kai Althoff, Ellen Gallagher, ...

Walker Art Center, 2006

Heart of Darkness centers on three large-scale installations by artists Kai Althoff, Ellen Gallagher and Thomas Hirschhorn.

Barbara Gladstone Gallery, 2002

Changing the Meaning of Drawing
This fabulous collction of virtually every one of the most vital contemporary artist is, simply put, a must. The talent and diversity of these works are astounding and envigorating. The title "Drawing" conjures up images of simple sketches, pencil works and other trite mediums of drawing. However, these works prove that drawing, the element of art that is the product of the artist's mind ...
