Adrian Ghenie at Pace Gallery -New Paintings

Adrian Ghenie is a well known Romanian artist, who lives and works in Cluj and in Berlin.  New Paintings is his first U.S. gallery exhibition and it features a group of paintings from his "Pie Fight" series.  In them, he combines episodes of Nazi history with the slapstick trope of a pie fight, "the thick impasto of paint serving as the filling that obscures the subject's face."  Here are some pictures from the show.  Enjoy!
