Beauty’
@ Petzel
— 

“Exposing the ease
by which information
in sensitive archives
can be manipulated
and referenced at
later points in time,
as truth...” 

Born: 
1954 — New Jersey,
United States. 

The exhibition: 
Marks Brauntuch’s 
eighth show with Petzel,
and his second at the
Upper East Side location
— presenting a series
of new works by the
artist, exploring archival
found imagery of the
Great German Art
Exhibitions to generate
new meaning within
our current socio-
political climate.

“I think I am reusing
something that operates
in the world, and I am
finding this strange
beautiful setting that
allows it to be re-
presented and allows
it to be beautiful.”
