Provenance Research and the Art Trade
Provenance research in the art trade? It does exist, that much is known, but what is taking place in essence? What is or was subject of research, by whom, for what purpose and what are the results? To date, only a few ‘insiders’ have had the opportunity to obtain answers to these questions. This is largely because research results from the art trade are only published to a very limited extent: they are mentioned in the catalog with just a few lines. The efforts behind the in-depth research are hard to recognize for outsiders. This is the first publication of an ‘inside view’ from the provenance research department at a major German auction house, with the aim of making research into ...
Don't Think, But Look! (Bilingual Edition)
From Giotto to Gerhard Richter: a history of painting told solely through images Inspired by Wittgenstein's famous request, Don't Think, but Look! provides a text-free presentation of over 300 paintings from art history presented in chronological order, challenging readers to form a purely visual analysis of art history.
Echoes of Exile
Thousands of people were driven into exile by Germany's National Socialist regime from 1933 onward. For many German-speaking artists and writers Paris became a temporary capital. The archives of these exiles became "displaced objects" - scattered, stolen, confiscated, and often destroyed, but also frequently preserved. This book assesses previously unknown source material stored at the Moscow State Military Archive (RVGA) since the end of the war, and offers new insights into the activities of German-speaking exiles in the 1930s in Paris and Europe. Against the backdrop of current debates surrounding displaced cultural goods and their restitution, this work seeks to facilitate a transnational, interdisciplinary scientific dialogue.
Women Artists in Expressionism
A beautifully illustrated examination of the women artists whose inspired search for artistic integrity and equality influenced Expressionist avant-garde culture Women Artists in Expressionism explores how women negotiated the competitive world of modern art during the late Wilhelmine and early Weimar periods in Germany. Their stories challenge predominantly male-oriented narratives of Expressionism and shed light on the divergent artistic responses of women to the dramatic events of the early twentieth century. Shulamith Behr shows how the posthumous critical reception of Paula Modersohn-Becker cast her as a prime agent of the feminization of the movement, and how Käthe Kollwitz used print...
Oskar Kokoschka: Neue Einblicke und Perspektiven / New Insights and Perspectives
Oskar Kokoschka hat sich als „Oberwildling“ der Wiener Moderne, als Multitalent in Bild und Wort, als Schöpfer eines viel rezipierten Puppenfetischs und als prominenter, von den Nazis als „entartet" diffamierter Künstler und Antifaschist in den Kanon einer explizit widerständigen Moderne eingeschrieben – als Inbegriff des radikalen, politischen Künstlers. Kokoschka revisited: Die Publikation versammelt als Ergebnis einer internationalen Tagung am Oskar Kokoschka Zentrum der Universität für angewandte Kunst Wien aktuelle Forschungen aus Kunst- und Kulturwissenschaft, Zeitgeschichte, Literatur- und Theaterwissenschaft, Gender Studies und Biografieforschung. Auf Basis bislang unbekannter Quellenfunde beleuchtet sie Leben und Werk des faszinierenden Künstlers neu und hinterfragt kritisch seine wirkmächtigen Narrative.
Alfred Flechtheim
Alfred Flechtheim was one of the most important art dealers of his era. His galleries included works by Paul Klee and Pablo Picasso. Persecuted by the Nazi regime, Flechtheim fled abroad. The fate of much of his collection remains obscure and a matter of contention to this day. In this study, experts from various disciplines use the example of Flechtheim to address controversial questions about the restitution of plundered art.
Cezanne and the Dawn of Modern Art
Cezanne and the Dawn of Modern Art presents selected paintings by Paul Cazanne alongside works by younger artists that reveal the powerful influence of the man hailed as the founder of modern painting. The driving forces in the reception of Cezanne's art were not art critics, art historians, or even the artist himself, but rather other artists--primarily the Fauves led by Matisse, de Vlaminck, and Derain; and the Cubists including Picasso, Braque, and Leger--all of whom absorbed and elaborated on Cezanne's revolutionary ideas about color and composition. Against this background of Cezannisme, the book presents key works by Cezanne and younger artists in revealing juxtapositions. Readers will...

Provenance
"This volume of essays offers new arguments regarding the significance of the social biography of art and the transformative power of ownership. It realigns the traditional art-historical paradigm that focuses on the moment of an object's origin and instead considers the longue durée of ownership. Whereas the term provenance may call to mind little more than a list of owners or the legal questions raised by competing entitlement claims, the essays in this book demonstrate that a nuanced approach recuperates important, even dramatic, aspects of the history of art. The authors present a broad perspective on provenance, investigating examples from Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas, and from ancient archaeology to conceptual art. They explore how stories of ownership are attached to objects, analyze important distinctions between provenance and provenience, and show how provenance can be monetized, politicized, suppressed, or otherwise instrumentalized."--Page 4 of cover.
