Wong Ping’s gritty tales of Hong Kong’s underbelly shine in Technicolor
His animation work is ‘like a sushi roll,’ says gallerist Lorraine Malingue, ‘it’s a combination of multiple things that explodes in your mouth’
Gisela Capitain: how Martin Kippenberger's former accomplice became a Cologne legend
The gallerist talks Art Basel through her extraordinary career and revisits the years spent with the larger-than-life artist who set her on her path
‘For me Martin Kippenberger was the beginning of contemporary art,’ says Gisela Capitain. The pair’s immediate connection led to the creation of the now-mythical studio-cum-social space Kippenberger’s Office – Germany’s answer to Andy Warhol’s Factory. But it’s in Cologne that Capitain found her home. She opened her gallery in 1986 and since then has been a stalwart of the German scene, branching out to Berlin in collaboration with Friedrich Petzel in 2008.
