Katharina Grosse’s monumental artwork bLINK – a pink boulder the size of a three-storey building – emerges from the railway bridge of the West Link in Gothenburg. Through bLINK, Grosse invites the viewer to imagine a giant spotlight directing a pink light beam towards the ground. All the surfaces that are hit by the fictitious cone of light are engulfed in pink: the railway bridge, trusses, pavement, footpath and cycle lane. The project was commissioned by Public Art Agency Sweden and the Swedish Transportation Administration, as part of the artistic design of the West Link.

The Staatsgalerie Stuttgart presents a solo exhibition focusing on the three-dimensional work of Katharina Grosse. Celebrated for her unique, spatial paintings, this exhibition offers the first comprehensive overview to include her lesser known body of plastic and sculptural work, shedding light on the beginnings of the internationally renowned painter’s career – from the 1980s to the present day.

From the artist’s early works of the 1980s through to the latest canvases, sculptures and in-situ works, The Sprayed Dear showcases Grosse’s diverse oeuvre and the inexhaustible range of materials on which she has painted, allowing her to redefine the possibilities of art.

Katharina Grosse has unveiled her first ever work in glass, Ein Glas Wasser, bitte (A Glass of Water, Please), developed especially for the Museum Reinhard Ernst in Wiesbaden. Comprising a large stained-glass wall weighing several tonnes, the work harnesses the complementary colours blue and orange to examine ‘how these colours mix, cross, repel, disturb and enrich each other in a watery state.’ As the artist states: ‘This energy has a transformational power that can inspire and excite all who are in front of or behind the glass wall. It shows that the world is in flux.’
