Italienischer Teller (Italian Plate), 1997

"In Kippenberger's works visual subjects follow an order which is that of the de-hierarchized way of reading the world that distinguishes the masses who have not been thoroughly cultivated from the masses who have; such as can be seen, for instance, in the anti-bourgeois order of values and importance found in tabloid newspapers and other subcultural or pop-cultural sites, where sense [...] plays no part in determining the order of priority of meaning."
