Trusted Eye
Perfect for enthusiasts of women's stories, postwar photo-journalism and art. This compelling narrative encompasses a mother's- and her daughter's-first-person accounts of struggle: the American wife finding her place in the rubble of battle-torn Germany, and the daughter relaying her version of the same story. Virginia Fontaine was brought up with all the moral fortitude of her Midwest German immigrant parents but also went against the norms by marrying an artist and agreeing to live in Germany in 1946. There, Virginia fought for her status as a problem solver, photographer, art curator, and correspondent of her experiences amid her ever-changing constellation of artists and friends who survived the war. Working with the military wasn't always easy either. In this part personal history, part art survey, readers are given a front-row seat to Virginia's artistic pursuits and cultivations as well as her resilience amid the challenges and times of postwar Europe.
Porträt Berlin
Gezeigt werden über 70 Werke von fast 20 Künstlern und Künstlerinnen aus den Gattungen Skulptur, Malerei, Grafik und Fotografie. Darunter Arbeiten u.a. von Ruthild Hahne, Karl Hartung, Bernhard Heiliger, Jeanne Mammen, Louise Stomps und Hans Uhlmann. 0Besonderes Augenmerk wird dabei auf solche Kunstwerke gelegt, die den Versuch einer internationalen Anbindung nach 1945 illustrieren oder den Einfluss von Exil und Emigration auf das künstlerische Schaffen verdeutlichen. 0Übergreifendes Thema ist die Auseinandersetzung mit dem menschlichen Körper ? jenem Sujet, an dem sich die nationalsozialistische Propaganda in besonderer Weise abarbeitete und deren künstlerische Neu-Definition nach 1945 daher eine besondere Herausforderung darstellte. Im Nebeneinander von figurativer und abstrakter, bzw. abstrahierender Formensprache wird schliesslich auch der Einfluss des schwelenden Ost-West-Konfliktes deutlich. 0Exhibition: Kunsthaus Dahlem, Berlin, Germany (12.06.2015-18.06.2017).

Jussuf Abbo
The sensitively modelled female heads by the Palestinian sculptor Jussuf Abbo inspired the Berlin art scene of the Golden Twenties. Abbo participated in the progressive movements of his time and was a close friend of Else Lasker-Schüler and Kurt Schwitters. The Nazi dictatorship drove the Jewish artist into exile in London, where he eventually died impoverished and forgotten. This volume preserves his memory and pays tribute to the sculptor's work with numerous illustrations and detailed contributions.
Goethe Yearbook 9

Editor Thomas Saine has demonstrated in this respected series that he is especially interested in new critical directions and solid research. The book review section is important for all scholars of 18th-century literature.
Jenny Michel
The Detritus of Our Society For around two decades, the artist Jenny Michel (b. Worms, 1975; lives and works in Berlin) has devoted herself to minute particles such as dust, cobwebs, and electromagnetic fields in space. Her fascination with orders of knowledge, symbolism, and utopian visions is reflected by installations, drawings, prints, and sculptures that she exhibits in carefully composed sprawling ensembles. Aggregating fantastic fragments of the world manufactured from paper, adhesive tape, staples, and other industrially made small parts, Michel builds disconcertingly dense structures--human knowledge is transformed into the debris of civilization, its legibility lost beneath palimpsestic layers of meanings and resignifications. The extensive monograph surveys major series in the artist's oeuvre and presents new works on paper. Jenny Michel studied at Kunsthochschule Kassel and the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna. Her work has been on view at Museum Wiesbaden, the Draiflessen Collection, the Schirn Kunsthalle, Frankfurt, and Berlinische Galerie, among other venues. In 2010, Michel was honored with the HAP Grieshaber Prize.
