It is an interesting point you are making here. Kippenberger may have been the only artist to find a solution to this kind of "mid-career crisis" that many abstractionists encountered . You could also have mentioned Picasso in the 20's, Guston in the 60's and also late De Chirico (no abstractionist, but returning to traditional figure and ridiculed for that). Would you say they all experienced the same self-doubt? Hey MrWowforever. …
