Oh, What a Lie

Michael Stevenson (b. 1964, New Zealand) "Oh, What a Lie" (2001) is an abstract lithograph on fine, deckled-edge paper. It has great color and texture, is hand-signed and dated in the lower-right by the artist. The sheet measures 30 x 22 inches, and with the frame, the work of art is 30.5 x 24.5 inches.

Michael Stevenson was born in New Zealand but now lives in Berlin. In 2003 he was selected to make the solo representation for New Zealand at the Venice Biennal. He is known for adopting an anthropological approach that often results in moments of irrationality. His ambitious sculptural practice over many years has mapped historical narratives from certainty to ruin, mathematics to miracles, and secrets and exchange. Significant recent projects have been seen at Kunsthal Charlottenborg, Copenhagen (2015); Dojima River Biennale, Osaka (2015); Sculpture Center, New York (2015); Liverpool Biennial (2014); Berlin Biennale (2014); Michael Lett Gallery, Auckland (2013); Portikus, Frankfurt am Main (2012); and Museum Tamayo, Mexico City (2012).
