The First Moderns
Throughout the worlds of art and ideas, of science and philosophy, Modernism was dawning, and with it a new mode of conceptualization.
Meanings of Abstract Art
Traditional art is based on conventions of resemblance between the work and that which it is a representation "of". Abstract art, in contrast, either adopts alternative modes of visual representation or reconfigures mimetic convention. This book explores the relation of abstract art to nature (taking nature in the broadest sense—the world of recognisable objects, creatures, organisms, processes, and states of affairs). Abstract art takes many different forms, but there are shared key structural features centered on two basic relations to nature. The first abstracts from nature, to give selected aspects of it a new and extremely unfamiliar appearance. The second affirms a natural creativity that issues in new, autonomous forms that are not constrained by mimetic conventions. (Such creativity is often attributed to the power of the unconscious.) The book covers three categories: classical modernism (Mondrian, Malevich, Kandinsky, Arp, early American abstraction); post-war abstraction (Pollock, Still, Newman, Smithson, Noguchi, Arte Povera, Michaux, postmodern developments); and the broader historical and philosophical scope.

Women Art Dealers
Women Art Dealers brings together fascinating case studies of galleries run by women between the 1940s and 1980s. It marks a departure from other work in the field of art markets, challenging male-dominated histories by analyzing the work of female dealers who anticipated the global model, worked to promote art across continents, and thus developed an international art market. Part 1 focuses on the women gallerists behind the promotion of modern art after World War II who participated in important research about the neo-Avant-Garde. Part 2 examines the contributions by women art dealers toward the birth of new markets – through establishing the reputation of artistic genres, such as video ...

Die Zeit um den Ersten Weltkrieg als Krisenzeit der Ökonomen
Der vorliegende Band blickt ein Jahrhundert zurück auf das damalige ökonomische Denken im deutschsprachigen Raum. In der Zeit um den Ersten Weltkrieg befand sich die etablierte Nationalökonomie in einer Krise – diskreditiert als apologetische Ordnungswissenschaft des Kaiserreichs, gelähmt durch Kontroversen über Methoden, Werturteile und Stellenbesetzungen, zersplittert in unvereinbare und wenig zugängliche Begriffswelten. Hierfür bieten mehrere Kapitel des Bandes eindrucksvolle Belege, z.B. anhand der Beteiligung von Volkswirten an geopolitischen und kriegswirtschaftlichen Planungen und Entscheidungen, anhand zentraler Streitfelder im Verein für Socialpolitik sowie anhand des Niedergangs der Nationalökonomie an der Wiener Universität. Es gab zu jener Zeit jedoch auch eine Fülle von Außenseitern, die beachtliche Beiträge zum ökonomischen Denken lieferten. Andere Beiträge erinnern an solche weithin vergessenen Denker, wie etwa Walther Rathenau, Oskar Stillich und Georg von Charasoff.
