New works by the German sculptor Norbert Prangenberg, known for his monumental colored ceramic pieces and independent vision.
What is the secret connection between linoleum and the 20th century avant-garde? What would the homes of the Bauhaus designers and other modernists be without it? This new publication explores the eventful and fascinating history of this ubiquitous but overlooked material that has stood under the feet of many an artist, at one point or another, over the past century. Invented in 1864 by the British entrepreneur Frederik Walton, linoleum's first golden age was between 1900 and 1930, when countless renowned designers--among them Josef Hoffmann and Bruno Paul--used the natural material in their collections and patterns, and even Peter Behrens tried his hand at designing linoleum patterns. And s...
The revised and extended BMW Art Guide by Independent Collectors presents nearly 300 private collections of contemporary art accessible to the public—featuring large and small, famous and the relatively unknown. Succinct portraits of the collections with countless color illustrations take the reader to more than 40 countries, often to regions or urban districts that are off the beaten path. This practical guide is a collaborative publication stemming from the partnership between BMW and Independent Collectors, the international online platform for collectors of contemporary art. To date, neither the Internet nor any book has ever contained a comparable assembly of international private collections, including several that have opened their doors to art lovers and connoisseurs for the first time.
Der Sammelband zeigt die Bedeutung und das Potenzial materialorientierten Arbeitens in der Skulptur für die künstlerisch-praktische Arbeit und gibt Impulse für die Gestaltung von Lehr-Lern-Settings. Grundlage dafür ist die Hervorhebung der spezifischen Materialeigenschaften als Bedeutungsträger und damit verbunden die Prozessspuren im Material, die den Blick auf den Entstehungsprozess lenken. Die Beiträge ordnen die Thematik in kunstwissenschaftliche und kunstdidaktische Kontexte ein und fokussieren anhand eines Beispiels aus der Lehrpraxis zunächst auf Ton als traditionellen und zugleich aktuellen Werkstoff. Der Künstler und Lehrende Thomas Musehold erweitert das Spektrum um das 3D-Druck-Verfahren, wobei er sowohl Einblick in seinen künstlerischen Ansatz als auch in didaktische Konzepte gibt. Abschließend zeigt Helena Frontzeks Auseinandersetzung mit Ovids Metamorphosen in der keramischen Skulptur beispielhaft, wie im Schaffensprozess eine eigene Logik der Bildfindung entwickelt werden kann. Die Reihe "Schnittstelle Kunstunterricht" präsentiert Bezugspunkte für die Gestaltung von Kunstunterricht aus einer didaktischen Perspektive.
Joseph Beuys is one of the most legendary figures of twentieth century art; his work and ideas continue to impact on artists today. An enigmatic, self-styled 'shaman' who embraced radically democratic artistic and political ideas, he has attained almost mythical status. This reader brings together the crucial texts on Beuys to look at the most contentious reception ever accorded a postwar artist.Here in one volume, are key essays by prominent artists and critics from North America and Europe, in a collection which foregrounds the full scope of Beuys' work across performance, drawing, painting, sculpture and multiples. With a foreword by Arthur C Danto, "Joseph Beuys: The Reader" features Ben...
