• Works by the artist are part of collections like the Museum of Modern Art, New York, and the Pinakothek der Moderne, Munich.
• Meese can look back on numerous solo shows, among them at the Pinakothek der Moderne, München, in 2018 and in 2017 at the Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna, and in 2007 at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Humlebaek.

We are grateful to the Bureau Jonathan Meese, Berlin, for the kind support in cataloging this lot.
