Heinz Mack
"This book offers the first overview of Mack's philosophy of art as well as his multifaceted oeuvre. A sculptor and painter for more than sixty years, Mack has created a wide-ranging body of work, starting with the ZERO period around 1960 and continuing in the present day. As this book shows, the essential aspects of his works--including the significance of light, structure, and color--are portrayed with often surprising perspectives. The authors accompany Mack in his constant search for a new concept of art, following him from ZERO through his legendary Sahara Project, a series of installations he made in the Tunisian desert from 1962 to 1976, to his light art and most recent paintings. Throughout, they discover little-known connections to minimal art, land art, Yves Klein, and Constantin Brancusi, among others. This journey through Mack's rich oeuvre culminates in a look at his passionate plea for the idea of beauty in the twenty-first century." --Publisher's website.
Kunst und Ökologie
Ökologische Fragen sind allgegenwärtig in der heutigen Kunst. Themen wie Klimawandel und Biosphäre bestimmen das Ausstellungsgeschehen. Recycling als künstlerische Methode, die Vermeidung umweltschädlicher Materialien und die Versöhnung von Kunst und Natur sind in der jungen Generation immer präsent. Wir erleben einen tiefen Wandel. Wie die Kunstgeschichte zeigt, kann Kunst sensibilisieren und neue Naturverhältnisse entwickeln. Wie war dies in der Renaissance, bei Leonardo da Vinci, der Romantik, im Impressionismus, in der frühen Moderne des 20. Jahrhunderts und der Land Art der 1970er Jahre? Und: Kann Kunst helfen, den Planeten zu reparieren? Den Text begleiten etwa 50 wesentliche Werke zu diesen Fragestellungen aus Vergangenheit und Gegenwart.

Comparative Succession Law
This third volume in a series on Comparative Succession Law concerns the entitlement of family members to override the provisions of a deceased person's will to obtain money or assets (or more money or assets) from the person's estate. Some countries, notably those in the civil law tradition (such as France or Germany), confer a pre-ordained share of the deceased's estate or of its value on certain members of the deceased's family, and especially on the deceased's children and spouse. Other countries, notably those in the common law tradition (such as England, Canada, or Australia), leave the matter to the discretion of the court, the amount awarded depending primarily on financial need.

Fashion Drive
Fashion Drive is a journey through circa 500 years of fashion history as reflected in art: How have artists reacted to extreme phenomena such as slashed clothing, codpieces, the crinoline, or the dinner jacket?Fashion is an economic factor as well as a seismograph of social sensitivities, an expression of longing, and an instrument for mechanisms of inclusion and exclusion.Fashion Drive focuses on the period from the end of the 18th century to the start of the 20th with digressions into the Renaissance and the present day. It considers the manifestations of fashion at the tipping points where it is extreme, vibrating, loud, disguised or prohibited.In a modern age of globalization and homogen...

Ottilie W. Roederstein
Die 1859 als Kind deutscher Eltern in Zürich geborene Ottilie W. Roederstein gehörte zu Lebzeiten zu den führenden Malerinnen im deutschsprachigen Raum. Früh genoss sie auch Anerkennung in Paris. Wie nur wenige Frauen ihrer Zeit widmete sie ihr ganzes Leben erfolgreich der Kunst und führte zusammen mit ihrer Lebenspartnerin, der Gynäkologin Elisabeth H. Winterhalter, in Deutschland ein unkonventionelles, aber angesehenes Dasein. Während sich Roedersteins Frühwerk innerhalb der kunstakademischen Konventionen bewegte, öffnete sich die Malerin in ihrem reiferen Werk zunehmend anderen Strömungen, um in den 1920er-Jahren zu einer sachlich-nüchternen Bildsprache zu finden. Trotz ihrer einst internationalen Wertschätzung als Porträtistin und Malerin von Stillleben geriet Roederstein fast unmittelbar nach ihrem Tod 1937 in Vergessenheit. Nach mehreren Jahrzehnten widmen das Kunsthaus Zürich und das Städel Museum in Frankfurt am Main ihr die erste monografische Werkschau, die dieser umfassende Katalog begleitet.
