Passenger Rene Wagner takes its inspiration from the exhibition title “Titel 172 – Prahlerei ist die beste Ausrede auf dem Acker” (“Swagger Is the Best Excuse on the Acre”), taken from Martin Kippenberger’s collection 241 Titles for Artists to Borrow.
Following Kippenberger’s temporary artistic strategy of commissioning contract painters rather than painting himself, Leonid Keller commissioned Vietnamese street painters to create seven identical oil paintings based on a single photograph of a yellow car.
