"Your History is Not Our History" | To repossess the period for themselves, the ’80s art star David Salle and the ’90s-generation painter Richard Phillips have organized “Your History Is Not Our History” at Haunch of Venison Gallery as an argument for the boldness they feel is missing in the market-ready art of today.

'T he Wallraf will contrast more than 80 works from the wide-ranging and impressive collection of Lutz Teutloff (photographic and video art of the late 20th and early 21st centuries) with around 50 rarely shown masterpieces from its own collection (European painting from the late Middle Ages to the 19th century).' Many thanks to Angad for sending me the information about this exhibition.
