Richard Deacon
"For more than four decades, the sculptural oeuvre of the internationally renowned Turner Prize winning artist, Richard Deacon (b. 1949, Bangor, North Wales) has masterfully circled around elementary questions of sculpture and how it is perceived.In doing so, the British artist is drawn to extreme solutions. Putting sculpture in relation to viewers by means of language is also an important element.Whether in wood, steel, aluminum, ceramic, or synthetic materials, the tremendous variety of the forms developed astonishes to the same degree as their handcrafted or industrial execution.In 2017, Richard Deacon was awarded the Ernst Franz Vogelmann Prize for Sculpture for his life's work.This beautiful two-volume book is published on the occasion of the exhibition, Richard Deacon: About Time at Kunsthalle Vogelmann, Heilbronn, Germany (29 October 2017 - 25 February 2018).English and German text."

The present volume aims at outlining a new field of research with regard to the history of diplomacy: the material culture of diplomatic interaction in early modern and modern times. The material culture of diplomacy includes all practices in foreign policy communication in which single artifacts, samples of artifacts, or else the whole material setting of diplomatic interaction is supposed to be constitutive for creating an intended effect in terms of diplomatic objectives. The chapters of this volume focus on intercultural diplomacy in different regions of the world wherein diplomatic actors of various kinds might have been confronted by a whole universe of unfamiliar artifacts and artifac...
Gregor Schneider
Gregor Schneider Preisträger Ernst Franz Vogelmann-Preis für Skulptur 2023 Den Räumen nie entkommen zu können, weil sie gesellschaftlich und durch Tabus aufgeladen sind, weil sie neben ihrer physischen auch eine psychische Wirkung entfalten, kennzeichnet die künstlerische Haltung von Gregor Schneider. Gregor Schneider, 1969 in Rheydt geboren, ist 2001 mit »Totes Haus u r« schlagartig einer breiten Öffentlichkeit bekannt geworden, nachdem die Arbeit auf der Biennale in Venedig mit dem Goldenen Löwen ausgezeichnet worden war. Nun erhält er, nach Roman Signer, Franz Erhard Walther, Thomas Schütte, Richard Deacon und Ay¿e Erkmen, den Ernst Franz Vogelmann-Preis 2023 für Skulptur. Der seit 2016 an der Kunstakademie Düsseldorf lehrende Künstler »schaut hinter die Fassade der Dinge und definiert nebenbei die Begriffe Bildhauerei und Installation neu«, begründete die Jury ihre Wahl. Und in der Tat, seine biografisch fundierte Agenda bildet den irritierenden Ausgangspunkt seiner Arbeiten, die die BesucherInnen zu handelnden AkteurInnen werden lassen. Ausstellung: Kunsthalle Vogelmann, Heilbronn, 15/7 - 29/10/2023

New Export China
Why do so many contemporary Chinese artists use porcelain in their work? In New Export China, Alex Burchmore presents a deep dive into a unique genre of ceramic art to describe a framework for a broader art practice. Focusing on the work of four artists from the 1990s through the 2010s—Liu Jianhua, Ai Weiwei, Ah Xian, and Sin-ying Ho—Burchmore reveals how the materiality of ceramics has been used to highlight China’s role in global trade and to explore the function of this medium as a vessel for the transmission of Chinese art, culture, and ideas. From its historical pedigree and transcultural relevance to its material allure and anthropomorphic resonance, porcelain offers artists a unique way to move between the global and the intimate, the mass produced and the handmade, and the foreign and the domestic. By dissecting both the legacy of porcelain export and current networks of exchange, Burchmore ultimately demonstrates why this ceramic practice is crucial to understanding the development of Chinese contemporary art.

Rauschenberg - Posters.
Since 1963 Robert Rauschenberg has used the medium of poster art to announce his own exhibitions, advertize concerts and dance productions, and to address social and political issues, such as the environment, apartheid and international understanding. In all he has produced a body of some 140 posters. This publication unites 60 of the artist's finest works, from all phases of his stylistic development. One of the pioneers and leading exponents of Pop Art, Robert Rauschenberg has experimented with and often blurred the boundaries between a variety of media such as painting, object art, photography and print. His mature poster work from the 1970s onwards displays a dynamic technique of composition and plays with several levels of meaning, often addressing the subject in a surprising, oblique manner. Rauschenberg employs a collage principle that lends an unusual irony to everyday images and photographs.
