Herring's native language may be German, but his work, the object of that press release I quoted, positively cries out for artspeak. It looks like soft-core porn made of bubble wrap. Working in transparent and blue-green mylar, his molds flow all too smoothly. The shapes, often close to the floor, flow onto each other or stick up provocatively. Think of certain body parts I must hesitate to mention on a family medium like the Internet.
Herring wants to have it every which way.
Far too knowing for mere self-expression , he parodies kitsch and decoration. At the same time, he wants the modernist veneer of formal mastery. The first makes him hot, and the second makes him accessible. Best of all, the third makes him very expensive. For a dealer, I can see a potent combination.
