Museum Brandhorst
Find out about Museum Brandhorst's highly important and fast growing collection of contemporary art. Museum Brandhorst opened its doors in Munich in May 2009 and since then its collection has expanded from 700 to more than 1,200 works, establishing itself as one of Germany's leading museums of contemporary art. Profiling the collection in all its breadth, this book touches on major art movements from the early 1950s to the present day. Highlights from the original collection, including pieces by Andy Warhol, Cy Twombly, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Sigmar Polke, Keith Haring, and Ed Ruscha are considered alongside works by Seth Price, Wolfgang Tillmans, Charline von Heyl, and Laura Owens, among others. The book places the core works of the 1960s, 70s, and 80s in dialogue with acquisitions from recent decades.
Heimo Zobernig
Heimo Zobernig uses a variety of media, including painting, sculpture, video, installations, architectural interventions and performance art. His works seem to question the usual art narrative, in media such as architecture, design and theatre, by stirring up the underlying ideological positions and reinterpreting them with a characteristic economy of means, materials and methodologies. In this publication all of the works presented are traced back historically to the beginning of the 1980s with regard to their origins. Alongside a contextualising text by the exhibition's curator, Jürgen Bock, commenting on the oeuvre of this internationally renowned Austrian artist are Achim Hochdörfer on the meaning of painting, Andrew Renton on Beckettian theatricality and Gertrud Sandqvist on its art-historical aspects.
Painting 2.0
Examining the resurgent interest in painting and the proliferation of new digital media in recent years, this generously illustrated book delineates painting's complex relationship with information technology. In a survey that begins in the mid-twentieth century, long before the birth of the Internet, this book traces painting’s capacity to digest and transform other media, even as its own legitimacy has been questioned. Featuring the work of numerous renowned artists, from Sigmar Polke to Nicole Eisenman and from Cy Twombly to Amy Sillman, the book examines how painting has addressed digital technology as it relates to human experience and perception, and includes three in-depth essays and additional texts by influential thinkers from the field. Comprehensive and lavishly illustrated, the book presents a wide range of works that reconsider the assumed opposition of the digital and the analog, the human and the technological, arguing that painting has served as a means to represent—and even enact—new media. This book affirms the ongoing vitality of the medium of painting in the midst of a digital world.

Concept, action, language
1979 wurden die beiden rheinischen Sammlungen Hahn und Ludwig anlässlich deren erster Präsentation im Wiener Palais Liechtenstein publiziert. Die beiden Sammlungen bilden bis heute mit exzellenten Exponaten der 1960er / 1970er Jahre einen bedeutenden Komplex der Sammlung des Museums und werden hier erstmals einer wissenschaftlichen Analyse unterzogen. Das Interesse der Kuratoren bei Ausstellung und Publikation gilt der Verschränkung von sprachlichen, visuellen und performativen Darstellungsformen. Die österreichischen Kunstrichtungen der 1960er-Jahre korrespondieren mit den internationalen Verschränkungen zwischen Pop-Art, Fluxus und Konzeptkunst, im Bestreben den Illusionismus des Tafelbildes zu überwinden.

Claes Oldenburg
In the early 1960s, Claes Oldenburg redefined the concept of sculpture. Published in conjunction with a comprehensive exhibition of the artists early work, Claes Oldenburg: Selected Writings 19561969 gathers together in a single volume the artists key writings from the 1960s and several years from either side of the decade. Much of the publication comprises of previously unpublished material, including sections of an extensive diary the artist kept during the formative years of the 1960s, and selection from an autobiographical manuscript that Oldenburg wrote in 1971. The book also reprints seminal texts related to Oldenburgs early exhibitions, a selection of scripts for the accompanying Happenings and related interviews. Claes Oldenburg: Selected Writings 19561969 provides insight into the artists working process through a transformative period of his long career.
Seth Price
This catalogue is the first comprehensive publication on Price's varied oeuvre. It offers an unflinching portrait of contemporary, mediated Western life. The exhibition at Stedelijk Museum is the first survey of the American artist's work.A key theme in Price's work is the self under technological pressure. This is often expressed in terms of the 'skins' of surface, packaging, and wrapping: a photographic study of a person's skin obtained through the technologies Google employs for mapping; a vacuum-formed plastic relief presenting a body part stranded in plastic; a large wall sculpture depicting the negative space between two people engaged in intimate action, greatly enlarged from a tiny i...
