The wall was his passion. If we look at urban walls with the eyes of Burhan Dogançay a completely different world opens up: half-ripped posters on rough brickwork, covered in graffiti, scribblings, messages, signs, stickers. From this rich stock of structures, signs and symbols the artist created his wall fragments, his 'Urban Walls'. Dogançay (1929-2013) was born in Istanbul and settled in New York in 1964, where he moved within the art scene around Robert Rauschenberg und Jasper Johns. His subject is the visual perception of texture, place and memory, which he researches in serial works. For his 'Urban Walls' he records house walls and façades all over the world in a variety of media, using a wide range of materials and techniques such as photography, collage and painting. His works are archives of past decades which capture the spirit of the times. From the 1970s and 1980s he progresses from these works to develop his 'Ribbons' - calligraphic paintings of poetic charm. Exhibition: Albertina, Vienna, Austria (06.07.-08.10.2017).

Work Description
Die Wände, die mich anziehen, wurden von der Natur und von den Menschen bearbeitet, so dass sie ein Spiegel ihres jeweiligen Umfelds sind. Es sind sprechende Wände, auf denen Menschen ihre Frustrationen und Hoffnungen zum Ausdruck bringen. (Dogançay 2008) Für den Künstler Burhan Dogançay (1929-2013) offenbarte sich an den städtischen Wänden das ganze Spektrum des menschlichen Daseins. Sein Leben lang war er fasziniert von den manchmal nur mehr sehr bruchstückhaften, teils direkten teils geheimnisvollen Botschaften an den Fassaden der unterschiedlichsten Orte der Welt, darunter seine Geburtsstadt Istanbul und seine spätere Wahlheimat New York. Sein fotografisches Langzeitprojekt Walls of the World bildete das Archiv seiner seit 1963 in Malerei und Collagen künstlerisch bearbeiteten Plakate, Graffitis und Schilder. Exhibition: Museum Morsbroich, Leverkusen, Germany (18.03-26.08.2018).
