Anni Albers
A long-overdue reassessment of one of the most important and influential woman artists working at midcentury Anni Albers (1899–1994) was a German textile designer, weaver, and printmaker, and among the leading pioneers of 20th-century modernism. Although she has heavily influenced generations of artists and designers, her contribution to modernist art history has been comparatively overlooked, especially in relation to that of her husband, Josef. In this groundbreaking and beautifully illustrated volume, Albers’s most important works are examined to fully explore and redefine her contribution to 20th-century art and design and highlight her significance as an artist in her own right.

Anni Albers
Anni Albers (1899-1994) was a textile designer, weaver, writer and printmaker, who was among the leading pioneers of twentieth-century modernism. Throughout her fruitful career she inspired a reconsideration of fabrics, both in their functional roles and as wall hangings, truly establishing thread and weaving as a valid medium for art. In her later years, Albers took up print-making, translating many of her persistent themes and ideas into two-dimensional form. But while Albers has been extremely influential for younger generations of artists and designers, her contribution to modernist art history has, until now, been rather overlooked. In 2018, a groundbreaking exhibition, together with th...
Gereon Krebber: Keramocringe Hb
Smavos, Tnösis, Cephandrion, and Graue Sonne: These words do not come from science fiction, but are instead the titles of ceramics by Gereon Krebber that are being presented in the exhibition Keramocringe at the Skulpturenmuseum Glaskasten in Marl, along with room-dividing works made of burnt wood. This publication documents the sculptures and architecture in the final ensemble before the museum moves to its new location. An in-depth conversation between the artist and Georg Elben, the director of the museum, describes Krebber?s working method and the effect of his works. In the second text, the art historian Maria Müller-Schareck shows how pivotal clay is as a key material for understanding Krebber?s practice.00Exhibition: Skulpturenmuseum Glaskasten, Marl, Germany (22.08. - 24.10.2021).
Annette Messager
The French artist Annette Messager (b. 1943) is one of the most important personalities of the international art scene. Her extensive installations focus on the human body and its attributes.

Annette Messager
Die französische Künstlerin Annette Messager (geb. 1943) zählt zu den wichtigsten Persönlichkeiten der internationalen Kunstszene. Ihre raumgreifenden Installationen beschäftigen sich mit dem menschlichen Körper und seinen Attributen. Zerstückelt und wieder zu etwas Neuem zusammengefügt erschafft sie dabei einen ebenso faszinierenden wie radikalen Kosmos. 0In mehr als 40 Jahren künstlerischen Schaffens hat Annette Messager eine eigene, konzentrierte Bildsprache entwickelt. Arbeitete sie Anfang der 1970er-Jahre noch hauptsächlich mit ausgestopften Vögeln, Strickereien und Bildkollektionen, kamen bald Zeichnungen, Fotografien sowie Installationen mit Plüschtieren und Kleidern hinzu...
Fresh Widow
Leon Battista Alberti's 1435 treatise De pictura influenced generations of painters by suggesting that a painting should be approached as an open window. By the twentieth century, the window had transformed into a motif that would test the limits of painting. With his 1920 "Fresh Widow"--a replica of a French window with panes covered in black leather--Marcel Duchamp postulated a farewell to illusionist painting. This publication presents the development of window painting by artists such as Robert Delaunay, Henri Matisse, Marcel Duchamp, Ren Magritte, Ellsworth Kelly, Eva Hesse, Gerhard Richter and many others.
Paper Revolutions
The experimental practices of a group of artists in the former East Germany upends assumptions underpinning Western art’s postwar histories. In Paper Revolutions, Sarah James offers a radical rethinking of experimental art in the former East Germany (the GDR). Countering conventional accounts that claim artistic practices in the GDR were isolated and conservative, James introduces a new narrative of neo-avantgarde practice in the Eastern Bloc that subverts many of the assumptions underpinning Western art’s postwar histories. She grounds her argument in the practice of four artists who, uniquely positioned outside academies, museums, and the art market, as these functioned in the West, cr...
