"This book explores the home as a distinct site of artistic practice. Using examples from across Europe and the Anglophone world between the mid-20th century and the present, each chapter considers the different circumstances for working at home, the impact on the creative lives of the artists, their identities as artists and on the work itself, and how, sometimes, these were projected and promoted through photographs and the media. The book comprises full-length chapters by artists, architects, art and design historians, each of whom bring different perspectives to the issues, interleaved with short interviews with artists to enrich and broaden the debates. At a time when individual relationships to home environments have been radically altered, The Artist at Home considers why some artists in previous decades either needed to or chose to work from home, producing work of vitality and integrity. It is essential reading for researchers and students working across the visual arts, sociology, cultural geography, and art history, and for those interested in artistic creation"--

New York-based Dana Schutz is widely considered one of the most talented painters of her generation. American art critic Jerry Saltz has praised Schutz for her "daredevil style and anarchic freedom." Viewed by both critics and her peers as the ultimate painter's painter, her canvases are filled with a lush, boldly painted cast of characters that share the bravado and oddness of Paul Gauguin, Philip Guston, and the German Expressionists. These figures populate the artist's distinctive post-apocalyptic narratives, which are at once playful and comic and dark and foreboding. Respected art writer and critic Barry Schwabsky considers the work of this young but prolific artist's career in its entirety, delving deep into the rich themes that make Dana Schutz one of the most important artists of her generation.
This fifth installation from the world-renowned Goetz Collection showcases eight artists born between 1949 and 1976, including James Casebere, Barnaby Hosking, Zilla Leutenegger, Magnus Plessen, Wilhelm Sasnal, Dana Schutz, Laurie Simmons and Matthias Weischer. Casebere and Simmons are likely the best known to most readers; the third featured American artist, Dana Schutz, born in 1976, creates politically tinged fairytale figures and narratives in paint, like "the last man in the world." Among her European compatriots are Hosking, born in 1976, who makes video installations on how works of art are created, from paintings to bowls for Japanese tea ceremonies. Wilhelm Sasnal, born in 1972, began by studying architecture; his films use press photos, collages, videos, comics, old-master paintings and simple snapshots. This series' topic is broadly defined as contemporary painting, and its hallmark--as the genre's--may be that its canvases vary widely from the traditional cloth.
Classical Modernism is an inexhaustible source of inspiration for the generations of artists that followed. This catalogue sheds new light on the relationship between modern and contemporary art across the generations and across the genres, through the encounter between the artists featured in two outstanding collections.00In the early twentieth century the avant-garde prepared the way for a free treatment of colour, line and space and created new community models. Many contemporary artists have studied the legacy of modernism and pose new questions concerning the treatment of body, gender and identity. The new presentation of the modern art collection in the Pinakothek der Moderne shows these new ideas in cooperation with the Sammlung Goetz. Works of art from both collections as well as the Stiftung Ann und Jürgen Wilde enter into a new kind of dialogue.00Artists:0Francis Bacon, Max Beckmann, Louise Bourgeois, Fischli Weiss, Rodney Graham, Wassily Kandinsky, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Franz Marc, Pablo Picasso, Oskar Schlemmer, Rosemarie Trockel, Woty Werner, Andrea Zittel, and many more0 0Exhibition: Pinakothek der Moderne, Munich, Germany (29.09.2020 ? 16.01.2022).
His work method could best be described as "funky minimalism." Often grouped with the so-called Neo-Geo artists of the early 1980s, Gerwald Rockenschaub (*1952) left this label behind long ago. In the meantime, he's developed an innovative palette of new works out of an abstract, minimalist framework. Rockenschaub finds inspiration for his frequently three-dimensional, brilliantly colorful works in modernism, abstract concepts, Pop Art, Minimal Art, everyday culture, and last but not least, in the techno and electronic music scene where he's long been a DJ. The exhibition and catalogue convey an impression of how the artist has developed a completely independent style of his own.Exhibition: 04.05.2017 - 14.10.2017, Sammlung Goetz, Base 103, Munich
In 2018 the Sammlung Goetz is celebrating the 25th anniversary of its founding with a three-part exhibition devoted to the artistic oeuvres of women. On display will be nearly two hundred works of art, from drawings, photographs, paintings, and sculptures, to films and extensive installations by more than forty female artists, all set in an intergenerational dialogue. Besides the major artists in the Goetz Collection, such as Rosemarie Trockel, Andrea Zittel, Lucy McKenzie, Paulina Olowska, Pipilotti Rist, and Yayoi Kusama, there are also a few new (and re-) discoveries, such as the young painter Lucy Dodd, or the American nun Sister Mary Corita.The catalogue documents the three-part exhibition and also offers extensive insight into the twenty-five years of the Sammlung Goetz's history.ExhibitionsGenerations.
