Andrey Krasulin. UNICORN. Works from 1960 to 2023.

About

The exhibition by Andrey Krasulin (1934) in the Volker Diehl Gallery presents works that were created in Berlin between 2022 and 2023 for the first time. Krasulin, an outstanding minimalist sculptor, became known for innovative monumental projects in public space. His method is linked to the discovery of a new way of looking at objects and forms in the physical world, a kind of "cropping" of the everyday, the elimination of superfluous details and the decorative. Krasulin's "Newest Period" is filled with immersion in the space of the city of Berlin along the banks of the Spree and at the same time with a new interpretation of memory, trauma and time. Many discoveries took place here. Such as the resulting work "Einhorn", is both a metaphor for absence and loss, but at the same time the key image which gave the name to the entire project. 

The small retrospective at the Volker Diehl Gallery presents brand new works by the artist, which were created in Berlin in 2022-2023, in connection with famous works from the 1960s-1970s and later. The exhibition includes objects from the series “Envelope”, “Bronze about Mandelstam”, “Person with Disability”, “Boards” and others. A catalog with texts by Lyudmila Ulitskaya, Andrey Krasulin and the exhibition curator Shenja Kiseleva-Afflerbach was published especially for the exhibition. “Bronze over Mandelstam”, “Person with Disability”, “Boards” and others. A catalog with texts by Lyudmila Ulitskaya, Andrey Krasulin and the exhibition curator Shenja Kiseleva-Afflerbach was published especially for the exhibition. “Bronze over Mandelstam”, “Person with Disability”, “Boards” and others. A catalog with texts by Lyudmila Ulitskaya, Andrey Krasulin and the exhibition curator Shenja Kiseleva-Afflerbach was published especially for the exhibition.
