Katharina Grosse Discusses Painting, Pina Bausch, and Art Basel Messeplatz Project in Podcast

In a recent episode of the podcast 'A brush with…', Katharina Grosse, who was born in Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany, in 1961, shares her innovative painting techniques. Renowned for her use of an industrial spray gun, Grosse views color as a tangible substance, crafting rich, immersive layers that captivate both the body and the eye. Sponsored by Bloomberg Connects, the episode features her reflections on various influences, such as choreographer Pina Bausch, her time at Edvard Munch's former studio in Norway, and the works of Lovis Corinth, Annie Ernaux, and Charlotte Brontë. Coinciding with her exhibition 'Black Bed' at MUNCH in Oslo from 26 September to 31 December (likely 2026), Grosse also discusses her studio practices and the purpose of art. Additionally, her work CHOIR (2025) was part of a Messeplatz project for Art Basel 2025. Bloomberg Connects provides access to cultural institutions, including those that have showcased Grosse's art, such as the Kemper Art Museum, the Baltimore Museum of Art, and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. The MUNCH guide features audio tours of Edvard Munch's iconic works, which inspired Grosse’s exhibition.
