The Blue Rider
»Das ganze Werk, Kunst genannt, kennt keine Grenzen und Völker, sondern die Menschheit.« So schrieben es Franz Marc und Wassily Kandinsky 1911 für ihren Almanach Der Blaue Reiter. Dieses programmatische Jahrbuch etablierte den Blauen Reiter (ca. 1911–1914) als einen der ersten transnationalen Künstler*innenkreise. Und dieses Credo inspirierte das Lenbachhaus dazu, das Werk der beteiligten Künstler*innen – unter ihnen Gabriele Münter, Alfred Kubin, Maria Marc und Elisabeth Epstein – nicht nur ästhetisch und historisch, sondern in seinen geistigen, sozio-ökonomischen sowie politischen Zusammenhängen zu betrachten. Denn nicht nur mit Worten, sondern auch mit Bildern und Taten setzte sich der Kreis des Blauen Reiter für ein globales, gleichberechtigtes Kunstverständnis ein. Gefangen in der Zeit der kolonialen Weltordnung vor dem Ersten Weltkrieg, gelang es allerdings auch ihnen nicht, eine emanzipatorische Praxis von Kunst jenseits nationaler Zugehörigkeit sowie tradierter Hierarchien und Gattungen umzusetzen.

Art as Demonstration
How artists wield demonstration to question the status quo both aesthetically and politically, marshaling art and education as powerful agents of change. Demonstration, in short, says: See here. It is the practice of pointing to something in order to explain or contest it. As such, Sven Spieker argues that demonstration has helped reshape art from the height of the Cold War to the late twentieth century, reformatting our understanding of how art and political engagement relate to each other. Focusing on Western Europe (especially Germany), Eastern Europe, and the United States, Art as Demonstration expands on contemporary discussions of art-as-protest, activism, and resistance. Spieker shows...
Intimate Collaborations
Beautifully illustrated, this insightful book looks at two influential artist couples and the roles of gender and the applied arts in the emergence of abstraction.
The Total Art of Stalinism
From the ruins of communism, Boris Groys emerges to provoke our interest in the aesthetic goals pursued with such catastrophic consequences by its founders. Interpreting totalitarian art and literature in the context of cultural history, this brilliant essay likens totalitarian aims to the modernists' goal of producing world-transformative art. In this new edition, Groys revisits the debate that the book has stimulated since its first publication.
Modernism and the Spiritual in Russian Art
In 1911 Vasily Kandinsky published the first edition of ‘On the Spiritual in Art’, a landmark modernist treatise in which he sought to reframe the meaning of art and the true role of the artist. For many artists of late Imperial Russia – a culture deeply influenced by the regime’s adoption of Byzantine Orthodoxy centuries before – questions of religion and spirituality were of paramount importance. As artists and the wider art community experimented with new ideas and interpretations at the dawn of the twentieth century, their relationship with ‘the spiritual’ – broadly defined – was inextricably linked to their roles as pioneers of modernism. This diverse collection of ess...

This is a book about art—and a book about mathematics and physics. In Lumen Naturae (the title refers to a purely immanent, non-supernatural form of enlightenment), mathematical physicist Matilde Marcolli explores common themes in modern art and modern science—the concept of space, the notion of randomness, the shape of the cosmos, and other puzzles of the universe—while mapping convergences with the work of such artists as Paul Cezanne, Mark Rothko, Sol LeWitt, and Lee Krasner. Her account, focusing on questions she has investigated in...
