Hardly any other epoch in art history has been marked by as many profound changes as the Late Gothic was in the fifteenth century. Inspired by Netherlandish role models, depictions of light and shadow, body and space, became increasingly more realistic. Everyday life found entry into the arts. With the invention of printing, images and texts were distributed to an extent previously unheard of. Artists such as Nicolaus Gerhaert and Martin Schongauer became widely known and influenced the development of the visual arts throughout Europe and across all genres. Featuring a wide selection of works, the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin present the first extensive exhibition of Late Gothic art in the German-speaking regions. Its comparison and contrast of the various genres turns the catalogue into a handbook for the arts at the threshold of the modern era.EXHIBITIONGemäldegalerieStaatliche Museen BerlinMay 1, 2021-September 5, 2021

The paintings and architecture by the artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser are nothing less than revolutionary with respect to nature and individual creativity. His work is not about silent conformity, but about life itself: each individual, in society and in the environment. With their strong, colorful formal vocabulary, Hundertwasser's works allow nature its space. Even beyond his artwork, though, the Austrian environmentalist fought for new ideas and ideals. In many conversations, lectures, letters, and manifestos, he formulated his notions-from recycling, the greening of roofs and façades, and the democratization of living space-in order to lend them weight. What seemed like a utopia to his contemporaries is now urgently virulent and surprisingly current. Commemorating the twentieth anniversary of Hundertwasser's death, this attractive book compiles his statements, excerpts from his manifestos, his paintings, examples of his utopian architecture, and his ideas for the future. FRIEDENSREICH HUNDERTWASSER (1928-2000) is known around the world for his visionary paintings and architecture. His works and essays make up a lively body of contemporary criticism, promoting clear-sighted concepts for changing social and economic circumstances.

How can housing better meet people's diverse and changing needs? Moving away from the focus on capsule architecture that dominates so many studies of Japan's Metabolist architects, Digesting Metabolism investigates the impact on Japanese housing of Le Corbusier's idea of "artificial land," perhaps architecture's most famous concept that the fewest have heard of. Long buried by the term "megastructure" that it inspired, artificial land joins the individual and collective, envisioning housing as stacked platforms of plots for building freestanding homes of all variety. This book explores in detail eleven Japanese projects that translate this dream of durability combined with flexibility into built reality, illuminating its appeal for a nation whose existing land-from both earthquakes and cost-is highly unstable. First introduced to Japan in 1954 by Le Corbusier's protégé, Takamasa Yosizaka, artificial land is essential to the Metabolists who debuted in Tokyo in 1960, with it sparking their desire to add "a time factor into city planning." Yet artificial land has had a hold on Japan's metabolic imagination well beyond the '60s, promising domestic satisfaction and environmental resilience from the postwar period to today's government policies. Digesting Metabolism uncovers this unique Japanese history and its possible future, finding examples of infrastructure, adaptation, and dweller control that challenge commodified models of housing around the world.

The history of Europe as a history of media | Peter Weibel's collected writings of the history of media in 6 volumes

Rose Wylie has long been considered one of the highest-profile artists in British contemporary painting, even though-it's hard to believe-she achieved her international breakthrough just before her eightieth birthday. Out of a broad repertoire of motifs from pop culture, newspaper reports, and everyday life, the artist distills succinct scenes that humorously, yet critically, comment upon current events. In the process, Wylie impressively demonstrates how lighthearted and natural painting today can be. Her large paintings are touching, with their rare sense of ease and playful naivete. With energy and relish they tell of life and death, love and loss, joy and sorrow. And suddenly, surprisingly, the traditional themes of art history descend from their pedestals and meet us at eye level.ROSE WYLIE (*1934, Kent) studied painting at the Folkestone School of Art, Kent, and at the Royal College of Art, London. Her works can be found in prominent collections, such as the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles; the National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington, D.C.; Space K, Seoul; and Tate, London. Her exhibitions include one at the Tate in 2013 and another at the Serpentine Gallery in 2017. Wylie's show at the Museum Langmatt marks the first time her work will be seen in Switzerland.

He was one of the last great court artists and at the same time a significant trailblazer for modern art: Francisco de Goya. The Fondation Beyeler is preparing one of the most extensive exhibitions of his work outside of Spain. In his more than sixty-year-long career, Goya was an astute observer of the drama of reason and irrationality, of dreams and nightmares. His pictures show things that go beyond social conventions: he depicts saints and criminals, witches and demons, breaking open the gates to realms where the boundaries between reality and fantasy blur. The show gathers more than seventy paintings, around sixty masterful drawings, and a selection of prints that invite the viewer to an encounter with the beautiful, as well as the incomprehensible. The extensive catalogue examines Goya's unique artistic impact in texts by renowned interpreters, and splendid photo galleries.FRANCISCO DE GOYA'S (1746-1828) oeuvre covered the spectrum from the Rococo to Romanticism. The show is being produced in collaboration with the Museo Nacional del Prado in Madrid. For the first time, rarely seen paintings from private collectors in Spain are united with key works from the most famous European and American museums and private collections in the Fondation Beyeler.
