Charline von heyl the carefree things 2014
Early life and education
Von Heyl was born to a German lawyer and French-born psychologist in Mainz. She grew up in Bonn and later studied with Jörg Immendorff at Hochschule für bildende Künste Hamburg and with Fritz Schwegler at Kunstakademie Düsseldorf. Immendorff later asked her to work for him as his assistant in Düsseldorf. She moved to New York in late 1995.
Work
Von Heyl is often seen as part of one of several leading female contemporary painters, a group which also includes Cecily Brown, Jacqueline Humphries, Laura Owens, Jutta Koether, Amy Sillman and Emily Sundblad.
Using a wide range of imagery, from found photographs and drawings of comic books, von Heyl alternates between collage-based works on paper and painting on canvas. To make her collages, she rips images into shapes, drops them onto pages she has photocopied, spray-painted, and marked with ink, and then manipulates them by hand. Von Heyl does not make studies for her paintings, and does not begin with a pre-conceived idea, allowing the works to be determined rather by the decisions that arise in the process of their making.
In fall 2008 her artist’s book Sabotage was published by Xn Editions and Christophe Daviet-Thery in Paris. The book was previewed, with an introductory note by the artist, in the October 2008 Artforum.
Von Heyl maintains an expansive studio in the Brooklyn Navy Yard in New York.
Exhibitions
In 2005, von Heyl's exhibition Concentrations 48: Charline von Heyl was held at the Dallas Museum of Art in Dallas, Texas, USA, and in 2009, her work was exhibited in Le jour de boire est arrivé held at Le Consortium, a contemporary art center in Dijon, France.
In 2011-2012, von Heyl had two major traveling retrospectives. Charline von Heyl, Now or Else started at the Tate Liverpool in Liverpool, England and subsequently traveled to the Kunsthalle Nürnberg in Nuremberg, Germany and the Bonner Kunstverein in Bonn, Germany. A second show, Charline von Heyl, was exhibited within the USA at the Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston and the Institute of Contemporary Art, Philadelphia.
