Mies Van Der Rohe: Neue Nationalgalerie
The Neue Nationalgalerie is more than just a museum or a building. It is a milestone in the history of architecture, a memorial, an icon. Designed by German architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, the building is especially well known for its fifty-by-fifty-meter glass hall. With this singular pavilion structure, Mies van der Rohe set a virtuoso close to his decades-long exploration of "fluid" space. There is hardly another building of his in which the boundary between interior and exterior is as permeable as it is here. In many ways, the Neue Nationalgalerie can be seen as Mies's legacy and the quintessence of his thought. This publication presents the building from today's perspective, but it also features historical photographs taken during the construction period, the building's opening in 1968, and the spectacular exhibitions that took place there in its early years.

Rudolf Stingel
Mit einem kühnen Eingriff hat der Künstler Rudolf Stingel den einzigartigen Bau der Neuen Nationalgalerie transformiert. Die gesamte Bodenfläche der grossen Museumshalle liess er mit einem Teppich überziehen, dessen Ornament auf einen indischen "Agra"--Teppich zurückging. Sinnliche Opulenz und orientalische Muster überformten damit die von Mies van der Rohe so streng angelegte Architektur. Das Buch dokumentiert diese Intervention und ist, wie die Installation selbst, als ausgreifendes Überformat angelegt. Ein Künstlerbuch, das auch vier neue Gemälde des Künstlers vorstellt, die ebenfalls als stark raumbezogene Arbeiten zu begreifen sind. Neue Nationalalerie, Berlin, 2010.
The Art of Society 1900-1945
The Mies van der Rohe-designed museum reopens with a presentation of the highlights of classic modernism between 1900 and 1945 from the Nationalgalerie?s holdings. The paintings and sculptures make for a vivid illustration of various tendencies in the art of the period, with emphases on Expressionism, the Bauhaus, the New Objectivity, and Surrealism. They also document the close ties between art and society in the German Empire, the Weimar Republic, and under National Socialism?from Paula Modersohn-Becker and Edvard Munch to George Grosz and Lotte Laserstein and on to Max Ernst and Salvador Dalí. 0The catalogue provides complete documentation of the works on view in the exhibition. Introductory essays at the beginning of each section are complemented by explanatory notes on selected major works and brief discussions of special aspects.00Exhibition: Neue Nationalgalerie Berlin, Germany (starting August 2021).
Otto Piene
More Sky was initially published in 1970 as a loose-leaf ring binder, and now the 1973 edition is reproduced in facsimile here. The book may be considered the first compendium of Piene's work after the ZERO period in Germany.The title itself is a programmatic attempt to expand the arts. More sky - that was the dream of Otto Piene and his generation, to overcome at last the narrow confines of museums and instead to turn public space, the air and the sky into a site where art happens.Nature as a model for the arts: as was already the case in experiments within the Bauhaus tradition, Piene intended to execute his artistic works in the dimensions of earth, water and fire, and ultimately into technological media as well.The vibrant, colorful cover of his book, featuring a hand-painted title, the sun and a floating cloud, perfectly reflects this exhilarating utopia of a better world, closer to nature.Published on the occasion of the exhibition Otto Piene: More Sky at Neue Nationalgalerie, Berlin, 17 July - 31 August 2014.
