Lazar Lyutakov eignet sich in seinen Werken alltägliche Produkte unserer modernen Massenkultur und einfache Industrieerzeugnisse an, um über Werte, Produktivität, Qualität und Nutzen in einer postkapitalistischen industrialisierten Welt zu reflektieren. In seiner Ausstellung 1 Million Random Numbers arrangiert er über hundert verschiedene Lavalampen auf Laborrahmen und Gestellen. Diese Publikation beinhaltet zahlreiche Ansichten der spektakulären Installation und zwei Essays: Kristian Vistrup Madsen unternimmt eine kritische Reflexion der Lavalampe als Projektionsfläche für disparate Emotionen und zeigt dabei zahlreiche Parallelen zur Ideengeschichte der Kunst im 20. Jahrhundert auf, während Stephen Zepke bei der Nutzung von Lavalampen als Zufallsgenerator in der Internetverschlüsselung ansetzt und die historischen und politischen Narrative von der Gegenkultur der 1960er Jahre zur technischen Utopie des Silikon Valley und dem damit verbundenen digitalen Kapitalismus beleuchtet.Zusätzlich liegt dem Buch ein vom Künstler gestaltetes 12-seitiges Leporello mit Entwurfszeichnungen der Werkserie 1 Million Random Numbers (Secession Frieze) bei.

Die späten 1960er-Jahre waren in Westdeutschland eine Zeit der politischen und sozialen Unruhen, der künstlerischen Solidarität, des Experimentierens, oft verbunden mit antikapitalistischer Kritik. Für Ilse Henin, die in jenen Jahren studierte, war es eine prägende Zeit. In den späten 1970er-Jahren nahm sie jedoch eine Auszeit von der Kunst, da sie diese als zu stark von Männern dominiert empfand, kehrte in den 1980er-Jahren wieder zur künstlerischen Arbeit zurück. Es erschien ihr dabei stets notwendig, innerhalb der Gesellschaft eine künstlerische wie auch soziale Gegenkultur zu schaffen. Von den Werken Ilse Henins ausgehend, wird in der Ausstellung ein Netz zu den fünf jüngeren, zeitgenössischen Positionen geflochten. Die Arbeiten von Keltie Ferris (*1977 in Louisville/USA), Ilse Henin (*1944 in Köln), Hayv Kahraman (*1981 in Bagdad/IRQ), Gisela McDaniel (*1995 in Nebraska/USA), Soraya Sharghi (*1988 in Teheran/IRN) und Emma Talbot (*1969 in London) eint die Verflechtung von vermeintlich klassischen, als weiblich gelesenen Motiven, sie alle haben sie jedoch zu völlig unterschiedlichen Sujets weiterentwickelt. "Das Weibliche" als Motiv wird in einen zeitgenössischen Kontext gerückt. Die Frau ist nicht mehr schönes Beiwerk oder Projektionsfläche des male gaze, sondern Hauptfigur und Identitäts-trägerin des Werks. Sie sind starke, selbstbestimmte und sich ihrer Position bewusste Heroinnen einer neuen Erzählung von Femininität. Gleichzeitig werden klassische Vorstellungen von Weiblichkeit und Männlichkeit hinterfragt.

Erwin Bechtold war ein charismatischer Künstler. Neugierig, wach und aufmerksam. Direkt und pragmatisch. So begeisterungsfähig wie begeisternd. Einfühlsam und streitbar zugleich. Nach dem Studium in der privaten Klasse von Fernand Léger in Paris lässt er sich 1951 in Spanien nieder. Angeregt von Kubismus und Konstruktivismus, von Klee und Miró, vom Abstrakten Expressionismus und Informel formuliert er eine weit über Spanien hinausreichende künstlerische Position, die er selbst unter den widrigsten politischen Umständen behauptet. Zeitlebens pflegt er lebhafte Künstlerfreundschaften, unter vielen anderen mit Karl Fred Dahmen, Antoni Tàpies und Antonio Saura. Bekannt wird er durch inzwischen legendäre Ausstellungen wie »Eine neue Richtung in der Malerei« 1957 in der Kunsthalle Mannheim, die 4. documenta oder in der Fundació Joan Miró. Die Ausstellung in der Friedrichs Foundation ist eine zutiefst persönliche Homage, die anhand ausgewählter Werke aus sechs Jahrzehnten ein unverwechselbares künstlerisches Lebenswerk entfaltet.

This publication documents Zeng Fanzhi's exhibition at Hauser & Wirth in Los Angeles in early 2023. The book is designed to show full works along with 1:1 details to give readers an in-depth glimpse into Zeng's command of his medium and his wet-on-wet technique, emphasizing the materiality of his painting and affording insights into his colorful, labyrinthine brushwork. The scholarly essays look at the artist's recent work from various perspectives: Carter Ratcliff discusses it in relation to the types of abstraction predominant in Western art history, while Stephen Little focuses on the influence of Chinese art and philosophy on Zeng's oeuvre and approach. Barbara Pollack situates his work in relation to its contemporary Chinese precedents and posits that it can best be understood as operating beyond the binary of East and West.
