The artist Sven Sachsalber was found dead in his Vienna apartment last Friday. He was 33. The cause of death is not yet known, and an autopsy is being performed.
Sachsalber was a rising star who developed a rich, singular voice and worked across media, bouncing seamlessly through performance, video, book projects, and paintings. This past year was a breakout moment for the artist. He had a solo show with his New York gallery, Ramiken, in Bushwick, Brooklyn, where he showed new paintings that evoked Alberto Burri and Lucio Fontana and the Swiss National Ski Team’s Swiss cheese-inspired suits, which featured holes. He also had work in the David Zwirner online viewing room Platform: New York and, since last month, new paintings have been on view at the Ramiken pop-up space in Miami’s Design District.
