Lehmann Maupin is pleased to announce an exhibition of new work by Jörg Sasse. This will be Sasse's second exhibition at Lehmann Maupin. Since that first exhibition, Sasse has had one person exhibitions at the Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris and at Portikus in Frankfurt. Sasse was also included in the "Sightings: New Photographic Art" exhibition at the Institute of Contemporary Art in London.

Jörg Sasse studied at the Kunstakademie with Bernd and Hilla Becher in Düsseldorf where he now lives and works. Sasse's process begins with his collection of found photographs and snapshots. From this archive, Sasse creates new images using computer manipulation technology to transform the original photographs. In the Portikus catalogue essay by Angelika Nollert, translated here from the German by Diana Resse, Nollert explains the painterly process of constructing each work with the computer.
