With a passion for art in all its forms, Anthony Shaw has created an extraordinary art collection which focuses in particular on British sculptural ceramics. The collection features among its major artists Gordon Baldwin, Ewen Henderson, Gillian Lowndes, Bryan Illsley, and Sara Radstone, who all work intuitively and express the "felt" nature of their works, in doing so often transcending the limitations of their medium. The most recent additions include Nao Matsunaga and Kerry Jameson, who likewise invariably produce the unexpected. The works, skillfully staged by photographer Philip Sayer, are complemented with contributions by Anthony Shaw himself and David Whiting, who set this remarkable collection in its art historical context.

Gabi Dziuba's jewelry is stringent, laid-back, fragile, minimalist, glamorous, and progressive. Blister packs, coins, beans, or letters are turned into willful creations. Collaboration with close artist associates is characteristic of her work, including those with Günther Förg, Hans-Jörg Mayer, Martin Kippenberger, Heimo Zobernig, Monika Baer, and Alexandra Bircken, whose works are included in this monograph. This highlights the openness of Dziuba's artistic approach to new trends-Pop Art, Minimal Art, punk, fashion. A fascinating biography results in which the visual artist, musician, designer, and entrepreneur has freely experimented with the traditional assignment of roles since the 1970s. Gabi Dziuba & Friends is a vivid survey of her extraordinary working methods and the exhibition activities in her Berlin studio.

The name Johann Joachim Kaendler (1706-1775) is closely entwined in the eighteenth century with the golden age of the Meissen Porcelain Manufactory. His exceptional artistic talent, coupled with craftsmanship, enabled him to capture the daily life of the nobility in their palaces and residences in numerous figures and groups. In doing so, he did not limit himself to official events but reflected tastes and aspirations as well as current trends. In the publication Magnificence of Rococo impressive porcelain figurines from top-class European private collections are brought together for the first time: on over 300 pages, these magnificent, often unique objects provide insights into courtly life of the Baroque and Rococo periods.

Hollow goose eggs, natural sponges, packaging, balloons featuring smileys, shoe soles, scientific gauges, or even his mother's gallstones-the repertoire of things elevated to jewelry objects knows no bounds for the Norwegian artist Sigurd Bronger. His "portable objects" are turned into wearables by means of artful hanging mechanisms. For Bronger, jewelry is a means of communication. The questions he poses with his works relate to function and use, decoration, aesthetic, and beauty, and his works invite us to see things anew: does the beautiful really have to be useless and the practical aesthetically uninteresting? Through the witty yet subtle cosmos of this extraordinary artist, our own "world of things" is becoming a good deal greater.

The !Xun & Khwe Art Project was developed in 1993 in a refugee camp in Schmidtsdrift, South Africa. After being party to the struggles for liberation from colonial rule, endangered groups of San people from Namibia and Angola were relocated there. They eventually found their final home in the self-governing South African community of Platfontein. The art of the !Xun and Khwe came about during the short period of transition from a traditional way of life to a modern, globalized society. This is what makes them unique. The collection of Hella Rabbethge-Schiller reveals the remarkable creativity and visual expressiveness of the artists. Despite otherwise depending on oral transmission, the San have captured their stories for posterity here in images charged with energy.

Calligraphy means ‘the art of writing beautifully’. Driven by its use in the Koran, artfully executed Arabic script became a key religious and political marker at a very early stage; since then calligraphy has played a central role in the Islamic world.In addition to appearing on paper, artful writing can be found on everything, from coins, weapons, dishes, lamps and textiles to the façades and interiors of buildings. The many types of texts offer rich and varied insights into Islamic art, culture and societies.Beyond Words presents 128 objects featuring calligraphy, most notably from The David Collection. In addition, the book contains articles on such subjects as the Arabic alphabet, classical scripts, the calligraphers and the different types of texts. The publication also explores the use of Arabic lettering in earlier European art and in modern-day Arabic graffiti.

Kalligrafi betyder ”kunsten at skrive smukt”. Med udgangspunkt i Koranen blev kunstfærdig arabisk skrift allerede tidligt en central religiøs og politisk markør, og siden da har kalligrafi spillet en central rolle i den islamiske verden.Ud over på papir optræder kunstfærdig skrift på alt fra mønter, våben, fade, lamper og tekstiler til bygningers facader og deres indre. Der er tale om mange typer tekster, der på forskellig vis fortæller om kunst og kultur og de islamiske samfund.I Mere end ord præsenteres 128 genstande med kalligrafi, især fra Davids Samling. Derudover rummer bogen baggrundsartikler om bl.a. det arabiske alfabet og de klassiske skriftarter, om kalligraferne og om de forskellige typer tekster. Der sættes også fokus på brugen af arabisk skrift i tidligere tiders europæiske kunst og på moderne, arabisk graffiti.

Guaymallén is a municipality in the province of Mendoza in Argentina. It was here that La Chola Poblete, Deutsche Bank's "Artist of the Year" 2023, was born in 1989. The choice to name the exhibition and publication Guaymallén is the artist's tribute to her roots and a reflection on her queer identity.La Chola Poblete is one of the most renowned Latin American artists. Her work combines biographical and cultural-aesthetic references with fundamental criticism. La Chola engages with the consequences of colonialism and capitalism, especially in the context of the obliteration and stereotyping of Indigenous peoples and cultures.

Dieses bemerkenswerte Projekt war eine Initiative von vier Sammlern aus Wien, die in einer ehemaligen Galerie im Zentrum Wiens aus ihren Beständen sehr persönlich ihre eigene Franz West-Ausstellung organisierten. Mit über 400 Werken aus allen Werkgruppen des Künstlers entstand die bisher umfassendste Einzelausstellung des Künstlers, die es je gab. Die Ausstellung, die ursprünglich nur für den privaten Rahmen gedacht war, musste wegen den zahlreichen Medienberichten, dem großen Interesse aller Franz West-Fans und der Neugierde der Passanten der Öffentlichkeit zugänglich gemacht werden. Der unmittelbare Zugang zu den Werken war im Gegensatz zu Museen erlaubt und gewollt. Alle Sofas, Liegen und Sessel konnten benutzt werden. Die Passstücke durften unter Aufsicht verwendet werden. Ed.: Heinz Neumann und Gernot Schauer. Text: Thomas Trummer, Andrea Überbacher, Peter Packesch, Robert Fleck, Heimo Zobernig.

Our recent past has been shaped by the repercussions of the pandemic (lockdown, isolation, distance, immobility, and so on). This turn of events has clearly influenced architecture: there is renewed demand for a more direct link with the outside, more proximity and more contact. The exhibition presents buildings and projects of this period (2020-23) and and discusses the circumstances under which they were created. This is more than a presentation of the results: this monografie also reflect on the unexpected occurrences that affected (or even, sometimes, explained) the work and the moment.Text: Toni Catany, Gabriel Ramon, Aldo Amoretti.

Diese Aufnahme ist von Oberflächengeräuschen inspiriert: "Ich wollte einen Soundtrack komponieren, der beim Abspielen des Vinyls hauptsächlich so klingt, als würde man nur die physikalischen Eigenschaften des Mediums selbst hören (...) nach und nach (entwickelt sich) eine Komposition, ein Rhythmus, eine Reise, vielleicht eine Geschichte."

The catalogue explores the late artist's work by taking up his interpretations of capitalism and cultural imperialism as they relate to art in American culture. Created at the threshold of the twenty-first century, Majerus's works expound on themes of transformation. They are characterized by his fascination with speed, his passion for technology, youth culture, and art history and his perception of the power of art and institutions. This monograph provides a novel look at the artist's brief but dynamic and prolific career. Highlighting Majerus's timely reflection on and criticism of the pervasiveness of images, one of the book's focal points is his look on the collaboration between Jean-Michel Basquiat and Andy Warhol.Text: Bruce Hainley, Mara Hoberman.

Während der Industrialisierung wurde die Seseke - ein Nebenfluss der Lippe - begradigt, eingedeicht und in einen offenen Abwasserkanal umgebaut. Zwischen den 1980er-Jahren und 2014 hat der Lippeverband im Rahmen des "Sesekeprogramms" das Gewässer wieder naturnah gestaltet. Dieser Wandel wurde von dem interkommunalen Kunstprojekt "Über Wasser gehen" begleitet, das im Rahmen von RUHR.2010 an dem Fluss und seinen Nebenläufen stattfand. Elf künstlerische Arbeiten, die sich mit der ökologischen Verbesserung der Flusslandschaft und der Wiederherstellung von Natur befassen, sind an den mittlerweile wieder grünen Ufern verblieben und können auf Spaziergängen und Radtouren zwischen Lünen und Bönen erlebt werden. Der Band präsentiert die Werke und ermöglicht einen visuellen Rundgang durch die Sesekelandschaft. Außerdem geht er der Verflechtung von Kunst und Natur und der Bedeutung von Kunst für ökologische Zusammenhänge nach. Landschaftskunst, multimediale Installationen, Skulpturen und interaktive Kunstprojekte laden dazu ein, den Wandel des Flusses zu betrachten und die Landschaft neu zu erleben Mit einem Beitrag von Hartmut Böhme, der den Seseke-Umbau aus philosophischer und kulturwissenschaftlicher Sicht beleuchtet

(Zweisprachige Ausgabe: Deutsch / Englisch) So präzise sich die Konkrete Kunst auch gibt, über die genaue Geburtsstunde ihrer Namensgebung lässt sich dagegen nur Ungefähres berichten. Mit seinem gleichnamigen Manifest führte Theo van Doesburg den Begriff 1930 zwar offiziell in die Kunsttheorie ein. Aber bereits 1924 soll ihn der niederländische Künstler, Architekt und Theoretiker erstmals formuliert und für eigene Werke verwendet haben. 100 Jahre später liefert dieses Jubiläum trotz aller Ungewissheit die passende Gelegenheit, die Generation heute junger, dieser Richtung stilistisch nahestehender Künstler/-innen eingehend nach ihrem Verhältnis zur Konkreten Kunst zu befragen. Welchen Einfluss haben die Anfänge der Kunstrichtung auf ihr eigenes bildnerisches Schaffen? Sind ihre Prinzipien auch heute noch aktuell? Und gilt Gleiches auch für ihren Namen? Ihre Statements bilden - neben einem kurzen historischen Überblick über die Anfänge der Konkreten Kunst - ein zentrales Element der Publikation. 100 Jahre Konkrete Kunst - Aktualität und Zukunft einer Kunstrichtung Künstler/-innen: Banz & Bowinkel, Carsten Beck, Anna-Maria Bogner, Nina Brauhauser, Martim Brion, Sebastian Dannenberg, Lena Ditlmann, Fabian Gatermann, Charlotte Giacobbi, Dave Grossmann, Vladiana Ghiulvessi, Toulu Hassani, Erika Hock, Marile Holzer, Silvia Inselvini, Patrizia Kränzlein, Schirin Kretschmann, Sali Muller, Catalin Pislaru, Fiene Scharp, Marco Stanke, Virginia Toma, Amalia Valdés, Jonas Weichsel Blick ins Buch

The Anahuacalli Museum in Mexico City, a pyramid-shaped structure of volcanic stone, was intended to be the final mansion of Diego Rivera and his wife, Frida Kahlo. Today, it houses Rivera's vast collection of pre-Columbian art. Unlike typical museums, the building's galleries resemble religious or ceremonial chambers, and the corridors are dramatic and cavernous.In 2022, artist Robert Janitz (b. 1962 in Alsfeld, Germany), who had recently moved to Mexico City from New York, was invited to exhibit his work at Anahuacalli. This catalog documents this extraordinary dialogue between pre-Hispanic and contemporary aesthetics. As an outsider, Janitz was free to respond to what he found compelling at Anahuacalli: the colors, the textures, the visionary architecture. Throughout the museum's three floors, Janitz installed large-scale paintings on the walls, even the ceiling and floor, to amplify and distort Rivera's almost ubiquitous decorative program. His paintings of tubular structures, halfway between hieroglyphs and shapes, were spotlit against the heavy, dark stone walls, giving them a jewel-like luminosity and creating an almost metaphysical and spiritual experience. Conceptually and chromatically, Anahuacalli seemed the perfect home for Janitz's extravagantly colored silhouettes.

For more than three decades, Gregory Crewdson has been luring viewers into the worlds of his cinematic, highly detailed, and assiduously crafted photographs. This retrospective catalog features images from nine series that represent a broad chronological spectrum of Crewdson's oeuvre. Included are selections from Twilight, the eerie and often darkly humorous photographs inspired by Stephen Spielberg's Close Encounters of the Third Kind; Beneath the Roses, which illuminates townscapes, forest clearings and broad, desolate streets with unsettling clarity; the black and white images of Sanctuary, shot on location at the legendary Cinecittà studios on the outskirts of Rome; Cathedral of the Pines, a paean to the beauty and tragedy of a gritty western Massachusetts town; and Eveningside, in which moments of alienation and wonder occur within the confines of quotidian life. With highest quality reproductions, paper changes, and incisive essays by photography expert Walter Moser and other esteemed art historians, this exhibition catalog reveals why Crewdson's powerful, elegiac and painterly photos draw comparisons to old master painting, staged photography and auteur cinema.

Fifty years after Picasso's death, this magnificent collection of drawings offers a career-spanning tour of the artist's brilliant and dynamic use of line and a window into the heart and soul of the most prolific aspect of his oeuvre. From his early studies to his final works, drawing was, for Picasso, an ever-renewing exploration of the powers of the line. Comprising over three hundred reproductions from his massive oeuvre, this collection features both well-received and rarely seen works, as well as images from his extraordinary notebooks. It features fifty penetrating essays that examine the themes, symbols and techniques that echo throughout Picasso's career-from monsters, crucifixions, and self-portraits to crayon, crosshatching, and ink. It includes book illustrations and plans for sculptures; color and figure studies; collage and journal entries. Stunning full-color reproductions allow readers to appreciate the enormous inventiveness and diversity of Picasso's work, from serpentine lines to hatched drawing, from the delicate nuances of pastel to the deep blacks of ink. Accompanying the largest-ever exhibition of Picasso's drawings and engravings, this gorgeous volume is a must-have for students and fans of one of the greatest artists of the modern era.
