Jim Avignon is a painter, illustrator, and conceptual artist, and he is one of the most unusual characters in the current German art scene. His trademarks are bright colors, humor, unpretentious materials, and an enormous output. For the first time, an opulent art book provides a comprehensive insight into the complex oeuvre of an artist who enjoyed confronting the establishment and never wanted to commit to whether he was aiming to be Pop Art, Street Art, a Picasso on acid, or simply the fastest painter in the world. In the book, Avignon himself comments with deadpan humor and a certain pleasure when things develop differently than planned. He explains his very special relationship with the art market and describes the exhibition projects that ultimately earned him the reputation of an exceptional artist. Readers will learn about curious detours along the way.
