Magical things testify to exuberant wealth and hedonism as well as to the enlightened curiosity and religious fervor of the Baroque era. This lavishly illustrated book that even features a ...

Beuys – Lehmbruck
Almost no one has had more of an influence on 20th century art than Joseph Beuys. When he received the Wilhelm Lehmbruck Prize from the city of Duisburg in 1986, he described in his speech how he had arrived at his concept of social sculpture via the work of Lehmbruck: „Everything is sculpture!" was the call that came to him ...

Meschac Gaba
Mit überraschender Leichtigkeit widmet sich Ekué Woekedje Meschac Gaba (*1961 in Cotonou, Benin) in seiner Kunst großen gesellschaftspolitischen Fragen, wie etwa den aktuellen Auswirkungen des Kolonialismus im Kontext der Globalisierung. Ein zentrales Motiv seiner Werke ist die Banknote. Manipulierte Geldscheine symbolisieren in seinen Arbeiten ein abstraktes Währungssystem, das auf abstruse Weise über soziale Exklusion und Integration entscheidet. Der Künstler trotzt ...

Klasse Gesellschaft
One feature of seventeenth-century Dutch genre painting is its focus on daily life. It was not uncommon for artistic beauty to find itself challenged by the claim to aesthetic truths. What was once a novelty in Netherlandish art, however, has lost none of its charisma for today's viewers. This illustrated volume offers evidence of this in a fascinating dialogue between ...

Von der Sprache aus
In a 1985 series of "Lectures on one's own country: Germany", given at the Munich Kammerspiele, Joseph Beuys said that he developed his work "from language." He regarded language as equal to visual art-a flexible material through which every individual could physically, intellectually, and communicatively participate in the process of re-ordering society. His exploration of language ranges from silence to ...

Herausgearbeitet werden die entsprechenden Motivationen dieser Gruppierungen, ihre spezifischen Arbeits- und Ausdrucksformen sowie der Einfluss, den diese ...

Imaging Beuys
The Kassel-based photographer Dieter Schwerdtle liked to compare working on a photographic portrait with conducting a conversation. He combines the intimacy of the gaze and the feeling for one's counterpart with a playful approach to the artificial pose. This is as true of the photographs of documenta artists such as Richard Serra, Jonathan Borofsky and Ilya Kabakov as it is ...

Peter Gustaf Dorén
As differentiated as art history is today, a major chapter has been largely neglected: the craft of the interior decorator. And this, even though the delicate aesthetic sensibilities, the sense of color, and the eye for composition required to decorate private rooms have more direct influence on our lives than any work of art in any museum could lay claim ...

Thomas Ruff
Thomas Ruffs Fotoserien berühren - unverwandt blicken uns aus überlebensgroßen Porträts junge Menschen an, sterile Hausfassaden kommentieren die Tristesse der Vorstädte, verpixelte Aktfotos aus Internetpornos lassen zentrale Details kaum erahnen und verweisen doch auf die Macht dieser Bilder. In Ausstellungen zeigt der Fotograf groß dimensionierte Abzüge, die nur wenige Male hergestellt werden. Er produziert jedoch konsequent auch kleinformatige Fotoprints in ...

Schule des Augenblicks
Although it is still a relatively young art form, photography is characterized by a changeability and richness of facets that is unparalleled. Initially, as the "pencil of nature, " it amazed its viewers because it was able to capture reality itself on glass and paper. But soon it shone through its possibilities for artistic mise en scène.

Jeder Mensch ist ein Künstler
In thirteen chapters, the exhibition and the accompanying catalogue offer profound insight into the cosmopolitan thinking of Joseph Beuys, as manifested in his actions, which are presented in the form of video projections and photographs. For it is in this capacity-as an acting, speaking, and moving figure-that Beuys examined the central, radical idea of his expanded concept of art: "Every ...
