About
Why this artist matters now
Michel Majerus made large-scale paintings and installations that fused the visual grammar of video games, corporate logos, and electronic music with gestural abstraction, collapsing high and low registers onto single, maximalist surfaces. Born in Luxembourg, he was based in Berlin until his death in 2002 at age thirty-five. His work is held by institutions including the Museum of Modern Art, New York.
