Liverpool Street Gallery presents 1888 Paintings, the 7th solo exhibition by German artist Karl Wiebke at the gallery.

About the Artist:

Karl Wiebke was born in Demtold, Germany in 1944. In a search for remoteness and for somewhere to further his artistic career, Karl Wiebke immigrated to Australia from Germany in 1981 at the age of 37. His earliest exhibition pedigree, with exhibitions in 1977 and 1980 at the influential space Kabinett für aktuelle Kunst, showed precocious promise for establishing an international career. (Without a commercial imperative, for over 40 years the Kabinett has paraded a catalogue of major artists – including Gerhard Richter, Sol LeWitt, Carl Andre, Wolfgang Laib, Lawrence Weiner, Thomas Schütte and Luc Tuymans to name just some – often at early stages in their careers.)
