Over the past three decades, German painter Albert Oehlen has pursued a rigorous and critical painting practice. A student of Sigmar Polke, and a contemporary and sometime collaborator with Martin Kippenberger, Jorg Immendorf, and Werner Büttner, Oehlen is closely associated with the "Cologne Scene" and is considered one of the most important painters of his generation.

Born in Krefeld, Germany, in 1954, Albert Oehlen lives and works in Switzerland and Spain and is a professor of painting at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf (with Peter Doig, Markus Lupertz, Siegfried Anzinger, and Herbert
Brandl).

His international exhibitions include retrospective exhibitions at the The Whitechapel, London, and Arnolfini Bristol (2006), Miami MOCA (2005) and solo shows at the Kunsthalle Nürnberg, Nurenberg (2005) Secession, Vienna (2004), Musée Cantonnal, Lausanne (2004), Musée d'Art Contemporain, Strasbourg (2002), Kestner-Gesellschaft, Hanover (2001), and the Kunsthalle,
Basel (1997).
