MARTIN KIPPENBERGER's ARTWORK at the MOMA

Among the currently featured exhibitions at the MUSEUM OF MODERN ART are the works of MARTIN KIPPENBERGER. I took the photos above of some of the art installation when I visited the MOMA earlier this afternoon.
From the MOMA website:
One of the most significant and influential artists of our time, Martin Kippenberger (1953–1997) produced a complex and richly varied body of work from the mid-1970s until his untimely death in 1997 at the age of forty-four. This ambitious, large-scale exhibition includes key selections and bodies of work from his entire career: paintings, sculpture, works on paper, installations, multiples, photographs, posters, announcement cards, books, and music. The exhibition will be accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue—published by MOCA and co-published by the MIT Press—which will constitute a comprehensive and scholarly examination of the artist's career.
