Stingel-mania: Rudolf Stingel dominates Art Basel and auction market
Rudolf Stingel, a prominent figure in the art world, was born in Merano in 1956 and currently resides in New York. His artworks are valued at over $22 million at Art Basel, as reported by Kenny Schachter from Artnet. Represented by leading galleries such as Massimo De Carlo, Sadie Coles, Paula Cooper, and Larry Gagosian, as well as secondary dealers like Dominique Levy and Richard Gray, Stingel has made a significant impact. Gagosian showcased four exhibitions of his work in New York between 2015 and 2016, with auction sales at Christie's totaling $4.757 million. In London, Inigo Philbrick is displaying Instruction paintings from 1989-1996, while Christie's, Sotheby's, and Phillips plan to auction four of his pieces. Since starting his career in 1989, Stingel has questioned concepts of authorship and exclusivity, solidifying his reputation through installations at the Venice Biennale and various retrospectives.
