Jürgen Wolf
Bäuchlings wie der Hund verzückt an der Leiter blickt hinauf in die Achsel der Gehilfin

January 10th – February 21st, 2009

"The sheer addiction of mine to look at naked posteriors, especially those of ladies, has its source in a never ceasing wellspring of great joy. Would I try to get to the bottom of this spring I might run the risk of polluting it during the excavation or overwhelm it completely. A small dug out based on depth psychology had already existed but I abandoned this when my mother explained to me that her bosom only grew to its full size after she had taken the anti-baby-pill in the sixties.
The attempt to take my mother out of this with the help of the image 'big bosom - small posterior' failed. Furthermore, I was not prepared to seize the spun thread once again, after I had let it drop in dismay. Who would want that? On a low level you can judge yourself in many categories but from a heightened level you look down on the rules of reason and lift the glance to the sublime. He who regards the beauty of a posterior with a calm and firm gaze is redeemed."

Jürgen Wolf lives and works in Cologne. After having studied theology in Wuerzburg and Vienna he decided to change to art history and fine arts during the middle of the 1980s. Today his works which show a great deal of love to human kind, and especially to women, are represented in numerous renowned collections. Shows in New York, Osaka, Istanbul,
Sidney, Reno, Paris and many other cities gave him widespread international reputation. Jarmuschek+Partner now show Jürgen Wolf in his first show in Berlin.
