Book excerpt: Back and Forth The 100 plus new abstract canvases, carefully reproduced in this book with its unusual format, are the result of one of the most intensive phases of work by Günther Förg in recent years, which took place between Autumn 2008 and Spring 2009. The artist places a sequence of calculated colour fields into a basic grid, which changes from format to format, each individual painting having its own tonal rhythm characterised in turn by a high degree of physical concentration. It is then no coincidence that Rudi Fuchs' linguistically stirring yet acutely observed text discerns an affinity between this work and Piet Mondrians's last und most unusual painting, »Victory Boogie Woogie«. However, the way the palette of colours is organised, supplemented by the structure of each individual colour field, substantially differentiates Günther Förg's endeavour from that his predecessor. In fact it is the free flow of the brushstrokes, the delicate upward and more forceful downward movement alongside the choice of colours, which together propel each individual composition beyond the scope of all previously known abstraction. Or as Rudi Fuch's puts it: »Whether he painted vibrating colour fields, irregular grids comprising raw, fibrous lines, he always had clever interruptive strategies in the implementation. Figuration had to give way in order to release the primordial energy of the brushstroke in its purest form: vigorous abstraction«.

Book excerpt: The focus of this catalog lies on a series of six large-format paintings that Günther Förg originally produced in 2003 for a group show at the baroque castle of Dyck. The paintings are held in various shades of gray, with bright accents in red and pink, and were fit by the artist into the 80-inch wall panels of his exhibition room in the castle. When in 2017 they were shown at Galerie Max Hetzler in Berlin, this sitespecific work turned into a powerful series of pure, absolute paintings. Reinforced by a selection of smaller paintings from the same time, the complete historical dimension of these works becomes visible--abstract, almost minimalist but still evoking an idea of nature. Central to their success is Förg's very immediate manner of painting, as described by Matthias Buck in his essay: "The viewer, standing back from these paintings, can take up the perspective of the artist at work. While we have the picture in its present totality before us, we also have an overview of its path to completion. The painting comes across not as the overwhelming result of an artistic genesis that remains the secret of its creator, but as a transparent entity which, precisely because it has no secret, amazes us with the simplicity of means by which very complex pictorial effects have been created." Exhibition: Galerie Max Hetzler, Berlin-Charlottenburg, Germany (28.04.-03.06-2017).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Architecture has always been a natural subject matter for photographers, but for most of the twentieth century the practice of architectural photography has been a professional endeavor--anonymous photographs taken for clients for specific, commercial reasons. This book concerns itself with another aspect of the phenomenon: the photography of architecture as an art practice. It considers the work of seven contemporary photographers who use buildings in their work in a new way. In these photographs, they respond to the work of prominent architects with their own singular interpretations. Here are Andreas Gursky's photos of the Stockhom Library by Gunnar Asplund, Thomas Ruff's photos of several works by Herzog & de Meuron, Hiroshi Sugimoto's photos of Le Corbusier's Villa Savoye, as well as works by Candida Hofer, Jeff Wall, Gunther Forg and Balthasar Burkhard. Architecture Without Shadow is a beautiful and valuable book on one of the prominent movements in contemporary photography.

Book excerpt: What happens when musicians make use of ideas and strategies from the art world? And what kind of pictures result when painters are influenced by music? To be interested in other people's lives, to follow the unknown, to copy it, to use it in one's own work--in short, to cross-map between the worlds of music and the visual arts: this is the subject of HYPER! A Journey into Art and Music curated by Max Dax, the former editor-in-chief of Spex and Electronic Beats. The book will include classic works such as Peter Saville's ground-breaking album cover for New Order's 1983 masterpiece Power, Corruption and Lies, and the narrative, minimalist imagery of Emil Schult on which the cover of Kraftwerk's 1974 album, Autobahn, was based, and Cyprien Gaillard's acclaimed 3D installation, Night Life, from 2015. The mutual influences between music and art will be illustrated with examples by Albert Oehlen and Scooter, Thomas Scheibitz and the Melvins, as well as Daniel Blumberg. Photographs and video works by Andrea Stappert, Sven Marquardt, Andreas Gursky, The KLF, Mark Leckey, and Bettina Pousttchi will lend the book a documentary dimension. The book is narratively underpinned by numerous background interviews that Max Dax conducted with the participants in HYPER! over the past thirty years.

Book excerpt: The title of the book and exhibition is derived from the large-format Nocturnes (2004-2010) featuring photographs of moonlit landscapes using long exposure times, which evoke Romantic landscapes in their European variants, and classical Japanese and Chinese landscape painting in their Asiatic motifs. The absence of shadows in these photographs is visible testimony to a seemingly frozen time, whose light doesn't actually illuminate the scenes, but instead hangs like an emanation from the landscape. These photographs can be situated in the place where painting, photography, perception, and imagination intersect. The artist duly formulates the experience of time as an endless repetition of abrasive and lengthy spiritual retreats in his powerful video piece "Sometimes Still" (2010).

Book excerpt: Fifteen years ago, Siegfried Gohr pinpointed the connection between the collected works, which resides in language, in words, sentences and poetry, because "the collection itself which holds a certain distraction within it, embodies the masterpiece as non-identity." This perspective is somewhat outmoded nowadays - inasmuch as the collector has long since hugely extended his range of works with pieces by Pierre Klossowski, Enrico David, Nicole Eisenmann, Cerith Wyan evans or Franz von Bayros - for the simple reason that it is not the collection, that is to say the collector, which cosntitutes the masterpiece, but rather the fact that the movement around the masterpieces needs to be traces.

Book excerpt: Beyond the work of Matti Braun, the book focuses in particular on Bengali science fiction as well as aspects of modernism in India in the second half of the twentieth century. It has been developed in close cooperation with the co-editors Bodhisattva Chattopadhyay, associate professor of global cultural studies in Oslo, and Beth Citron, a curator from New York specializing in modern art from South Asia.0Seeing Matti Braun?s batiks and silk paintings in the exhibition space, and how he presents historical saris in the same context, will provide an inkling of what it means that the artist examines unexpected, often little-known effects of intercultural dynamics, and reveals patterns of artistic migration and of cultural neglect. Here his enchantingly beautiful silk painting, which touches on Minimalism as well as Pop Art, there the historical fabrics of a traditional garment, a wrap-around skirt worn from India to Nepal and which to the wearer provides, in addition to festive occasions, almost superpractical possibilities in the daily life of subtropical countries, and which today is traded at auctions, and can be found mounted and framed as a picture in museums in Asia and Europe. The book goes one step further and offers comprehensive insights into the associative network that has formed the basis of Matti Braun?s work in recent years. One aspect pertains to the story of the ? never realized ? film ?The Alien± by Indian director and author Satyajit Ray, which he was supposed to produce for one of the big Hollywood studios in the mid-1960s. In 1982, Steven Spielberg presented the mega blockbuster ?E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial± ? and until today it appears to be controversial whether not he plagiarized Ray.00Exhibition: Galerie Esther Schipper, Berlin, Germany (17.01. - 22.02.2020).

Book excerpt: Egon Schiele saw himself as a visionary and prophetic artist, Frantisek Kupka forged an abstract style of painting infused with spiritist principles, Joseph Beuys called under the rubric social sculpture for social change due to creative actions, and Friedensreich Hundertwasser was an ecological crusader whose spiral paintings were holistic in essence. These pioneering artistic attitudes and developments would have not come about without contact with several prophets. Some of these were artist-naturists, others were modern-day Christs, while still others saw themselves as social revolutionaries of a kind. Their relevance for modern art remains a largely untold story. Today, their names Karl Wilhelm Diefenbach, Gusto Gräser, Gustav Nagel, as well as Friedrich Muck-Lamberty and Ludwig Christian Haeusser have almost been forgotten.

Book excerpt: Lea Lublin, nearly unknown, yet rediscovered At the age of 12, Lea Lublin (*1929 in Poland, +1999 in Paris) joined at the Academy of Fine Arts in Buenos Aires; in 1968 she exhibited herself for three weeks alongside her 8 months old son in a Parisian museum; two years later one of her paintings was confiscated in Argentina and Lublin was charged with three months of probation for public indecency. In her exhibition »The Striptease of the Jesus Child« at Yvon Lambert's Paris-based gallery, Lublin inquired into the underlying eroticism in Christian painting. On the trail of Marcel Duchamp in Buenos Aires, Lublin purloined the French artist's former letterbox as a piece of evidence for her theory of the ready-made. These are but some of the fascinating moments within the life and art of this Argentine-French artist whose work is still largely unknown to a broader international audience. Lublin's rigorous examination of the image as an ideological construct and her postulate for a more active role of the viewer continues to be of acute relevance until today. The expansive catalogue which accompanies the exhibition encompasses information on Lublin's entire career and production in all mediums spanning a period of more than three decades. Several essential chapters on the artist's trajectory, such as the abandonment of painting in favour of environments and actions, the use of dialogue as an art form, the deconstruction of art historical imagery, and the inquiry into Marcel Duchamp's sojourn in Buenos Aires, find particular attention in the publication.

Book excerpt: Fausto Melotti's uniquely lyrical sculptures This co-publication with Hauser & Wirth will be released on the occasion of their inaugural exhibition of Fausto Melotti, curated by Douglas Fogle at Hauser & Wirth New York. With never before published historical material from the archive of the Fausto Melotti Foundation, this extensively illustrated publication will provide insight into the work of an artist yet to be discovered by the American public. The late Italian sculptor, installation artist, and poet Fausto Melotti (1901-1986) is admired for his unique contribution to the development of mid-century European Modernism. The artist, who was active for six decades, moved freely between mediums, incorporating brass, stainless steel, ceramics and fabric into uniquely lyrical sculptures. Creating drawings and mixed media works, the artist drew from his rich background in music, mathematics and engineering. The book will feature a text by Douglas Fogle, an independent curator and writer based in Los Angeles, who has previously served as curator at the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles; the Carnegie Museum of Art, Pittsburgh and the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis.

Book excerpt: La problématique d'Olivier est centrée autour de la peinture et comment elle fonctionne : c'est ainsi qu'il a créé une œuvre variée de monochromes et tableaux abstraits géométriques qui échappe à toute attribution mystifiante. L'exposition et le livre offrent un large aperçu des créations de l'artiste, des cercles noirs aux bandes bicolores ou aux étoiles et toiles monochromes exécutées sans le moindre trait personnel. La boucle s'achève avec ses travaux récents, comme celui de 2013 qui donne son titre à l'ouvrage TUTU, et qui fait référence au dessin d'un autre artiste, une ballerine de Marcel Duchamp.
