Axel Kasseböhmer (1952-2017) was a German painter studied under Gerhard Richter at the Staatliche Kunstakademie Düsseldorf in the 1970s. Since 2001, he is teaching at the Kunstakademie München.
Kasseböhmer devised a radical, conceptual way of painting that deliberately defied dominant painterly trends and tendencies and established him as a seminal figure in German painting. His influential work is characterized by a keen sense of the perceived lost values of painting and confidently asserts itself in an era when the medium’s future is perpetually called into question.
