Kunstvereinskunst
Die Kunstvereine des 19. Jahrhunderts entwickelten einen bestimmten Kunstgeschmack, der von der Kunstgeschichte bislang kaum gewürdigt wurde. Ein kommerziell bedingter Popularitätsanspruch bei Ankäufen oder eine Neigung zum Regionalismus und zur Reproduktion waren mitunter die Gründe. Gleichwohl brachten Kunstvereine typische Sujets hervor, mit denen sich die Bürger identifizieren konnten. So förderten sie zunächst Historienbilder mit einer Vorliebe für sterbende Herrscherfiguren, um dann kleinformatige Landschaften, Genres und Tierstücke durchzusetzen. Überspitzt lässt sich sagen: In Deutschland fand die Revolution in den Bildern statt. Sie begann im öffentlichen Gebäude und endete an der Wohnzimmerwand. Kunstvereine boten für diesen Prozess den Handlungsrahmen. Doch die gesellschaftliche Emanzipation durch Kunst erfolgte in Richtung Aristokratie und Wirtschaftsadel, so dass sich das neue bürgerliche Weltbild und schließlich auch dessen Bilder von deren Wertmaßstäben betroffen zeigten.
A Film of Words
A Film of Words is the result of a writing project devised by this pair who have been writing together in the Japanese genres for over 20 years. In this book they combine haiku, tanka, haibun, haiga, free verse and prose along with graphics from both artists.

The Roof Garden Commission
The work of Berlin-based artist Alicja Kwade is elegant, rigorous, and highly experiential. With equal parts poetry and critical acumen, Kwade creates sculptures and installations that reflect on time, perception, and scientific inquiry, calling into question the systems designed to make sense of the universe. Ultimately, she seeks to draw out the mystery and absurdity of the human condition, heightening our powers of self-reflection. For The Met, Kwade has created ParaPivot I and II, a pair of sculptures with nine massive stone spheres floating in apparent weightlessness in large, intersecting steel frames. This sculptural ballet evokes a miniature solar system, a piece of space that has settled temporarily on the Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Roof Garden. This book, the first on Kwade’s work published in the United States, includes an insightful essay on her practice by curator Kelly Baum and a revealing interview with the artist by Sheena Wagstaff. p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 14.0px Verdana}
Kunst des frühen 20. Jahrhunderts in deutschen Ausstellungen. Teil 1
Eine kommentierte Bibliographie. Bearbeitet von Martin Papenbrock und Anette Sohn. Die Bibliographie dokumentiert ca. 400 Gruppenausstellungen zur deutschen Gegenwartskunst aus den Jahren 1933 bis 1944 anhand von in deutschen Bibliotheken nachgewiesenen Katalogen. In einem Register werden die an diesen Ausstellungen beteiligten ca. 12.000 KünstlerInnen namentlich erfaßt. Ein umfangreicher Anhang listet darüber hinaus alle Ausstellungen auf, die im "Mitteilungsblatt der Reichskammer der bildenden Künste" angekündigt wurden, zu denen aber kein Katalog nachweisbar ist.
Art Books
First published in 1997. For this second edition of Art Books: A Basic Bibliography of Monographs on Artists, the vast number of new books published since 1985 was surveyed and evaluated. This has resulted in the selection of 3,395 additional titles. These selections, reflective of the increase in the monographic literature on artists during the last ten years, are evidence of the activities of a larger number of art historians in more countries worldwide, of the increasingly diverse and ambitious exhibition programs of museums whose number has also increased dramatically, and also of a lively international art market and the attendant gallery activities. The selections of the first edition have been reviewed, errors have been corrected and important new editions and reprints have been noted. The second edition contains 278 names of artists not represented in the first edition.
Transitions
This book is about transitions, the manifold and dynamic process of change and exchange, variety and variation, difference and diversity, migration and globalisation. Contributions emphasize issues of race and ethnicity in the American cultural context, look at class-based, gender-oriented, religious, political, historical, social, and cultural negotiations, and question the meaningfulness of distinctions and boundaries in today's fast-changing world. Contributions include analyses of historical changes from Brown vs. Board of Education to 9/11, examinations of cultural transitions from regional identity to migratory artists, as well as explorations of literary adaptations ranging from Affrilachian poetry to cyberspace narrativity.
