Bayerische Staatsgemäldesammlungen. Neue Pinakothek. Katalog der Skulpturen - Band I
Ludwig I., der Gründer der Neuen Pinakothek, hat neben seiner Sammlung zeitgenössischer Malerei von Angelika Kauffmann bis Arnold Böcklin auch Skulpturen bedeutender Bildhauer wie Antonio Canova und Bertel Thorvaldsen angekauft. Hinzu kamen etliche Büsten von Bildhauern wie Christian Daniel Rauch und Friedrich Tieck, die ursprünglich für die Walhalla oder die Ruhmeshalle bestimmt waren. Schließlich ließ der König durch Bildhauer wie Johann Halbig zahlreiche Dichter sowie Maler porträtieren, von denen er zuvor Gemälde erworben hatte. Auf diese Weise entstand eine außergewöhnliche Sammlung von Porträtbüsten aus Gips, die als Pantheon zeitgenössischer Künstler in der Neuen Pinakothek aufgestellt war. Alle diese Skulpturen aus der Sammlung Ludwigs I. wurden nun erstmals wissenschaftlich bearbeitet. Der vorliegende Band, der erste des auf drei Bände angelegten Bestandskataloges sämtlicher Skulpturen des 19. Jahrhunderts in der Neuen Pinakothek, stellt die Werke in farbigen Neuaufnahmen vor und beleuchtet den Kontext ihrer Entstehung.
The Museum of the Future
Peter Sloterdijk sees our digitalized world in a "growing spatial crisis", accompanied by the danger of a "general virtuality of all relationships". Others view the digitalization of the world as opening up a grassroots democratic space that allows everyone access to culture. Against this backdrop, this anthology examines the spatial characteristics of the museum – between physical place and virtual space. The chapters collected here approach the museum space from various disciplinary perspectives, such as philosophy, history, art history, architecture, scenography, museum education and curatorial studies. At the same time, the contributions by international museum experts are assigned to different literary genres – fundamental considerations alternate with think pieces, case studies and interviews.
Artists and Society in Germany, 1850-1914
In times past, everyday business might mean making a trip to the pawnbroker, giving a loan to a trusted friend of selling off a coat, all to make ends meet. Both women and men engaged in this daily budgeting, but women's roles were especially important in achieving some level of comfort and avoiding penury. In some communities, the daily practices in place in the seventeenth century persisted into the twentieth, whilst other groups adopted new ways, such as using numbers to chart domestic affairs and turning to the savings banks that appeared in the nineteenth century. These strategies promised respectability and greater access to new consumer goods: better clothes and finer furnishings accompanied a newly disciplined behaviour. Therefore, in the material world of the past and in the changing habits of earlier generations lie crucial turning points. This book explores these previously under-researched patterns and practices that gave shape to modern consumer society.

The Visual Arts in Germany, 1890-1937
This work provides an introduction to the visual arts in Germany from the early years of German unification to World War II. The study is an analysis of painting, sculpture, graphic art, design, film and photography in relation to a wider set of cultural and social issues that were specific to German modernism. It concentrates on the ways in which the production and reception of art interacted with and was affected by responses to unification, conflict between left and right political factions, gender concerns, contemporary philosophical and religious ideas, the growth of cities, and the increasing important of mass culture.
Dictionary of Contemporary Germany
A series of dictionaries on the contemporary milieu of the world's most important countries. The ContemporaryCountry Dictionary series are not tourist guides--though tourists with a serious interest in countries they are visiting will find them of great help in learning more about these societies. These alphabetical reference guides have been compiled to give up-to-date information on all aspects of each country--explanations of terms that are outside the scope of a standard dictionary or encyclopedia--including acronyms, political and legal institutions, cultural phenomena, social welfare programs, industrial concerns, media, literary and political personalities, and much more. Each Dictionary has been compiled by two people--a native of the individual country and an English-speaking collaborator from either Great Britain or the United States. Readers are thus assured of authoritative information that is rendered in terms comprehensible to English-language readers. The Dictionaries will prove invaluable to researchers, librarians, and students.
The Eschatological Imagination
How did the early-modern Christian West conceive of the spaces and times of the afterlife? The answer to this question is not obvious for a period that saw profound changes in theology, when the telescope revealed the heavens to be as changeable and imperfect as the earth, and when archaeological and geological investigations made the earth and what lies beneath it another privileged site for the acquisition of new knowledge. With its focus on the eschatological imagination at a time of transformation in cosmology, this volume opens up new ways of studying early-modern religious ideas, representations, and practices. The individual chapters explore a wealth of – at times little-known – visual and textual sources. Together they highlight how closely concepts and imaginaries of the hereafter were intertwined with the realities of the here and now.
