Artists' Painters
Artists' Painters presents international positions of experimental painting from an important private collection. The core of the Cologne-based collection is a comprehensive group of works by the Belgian artist Pierre Alechinsky (*1927). Also represented are Cora Cohen (*1943), Greg Kwiatek (*1948), Ira Bartell (*1954), Gerrit Göllner (*1973), Chris Newman (*1958), Steven Maslin (*1959) and Alice Stepanek (*1954). A separate volume provides an introduction to this remarkable collection as a whole.
Our values?
The latest volume in the series Our Values, published by the Leopold Hoesch Museum, focuses on a hitherto untold chapter in the collection's history between 1933 and 1955: that of looted art. The focus lies on the close ties to the Wallraf Richartz Museum in Cologne during this period, providing a fascinating insight into the provenance research conducted by both museums, as well as into their complex relationship during the National Socialist and post war eras.
Figure on Display
Stephan Balkenhol (b. Fritzlar, Germany, 1957; lives and works in Karlsruhe, Meisenthal/Lorraine, Kassel, and Berlin) is one of the most important German sculptors working today. He started making wood sculptures during his studies with Ulrich Rückriem at the University of Fine Arts of Hamburg (HFBK). Working in the tradition of portrait sculpture, he creates effigies of anonymous and yet strangely familiar men and women. Numerous sculptures by Balkenhol are installed in prominent public settings in London, Paris, Hamburg, Berlin, and other cities. The Canadian artist Jeff Wall (b. Vancouver, BC, 1946; lives and works in Vancouver) is widely regarded as one of the world's leading contempora...

Silke Leverkühne belongs to that generation of artists that with their painting constituted a counterweight to the common conceptual positions in art at the beginning of the 1980s. In 1984 the artist participated in the groundbreaking exhibition curated by Kasper König 'Von hier aus - Zwei Monate neue deutsche Kunst in Düsseldorf' (Starting from here - Two months of new German art in Duesseldorf). The book gives a comprehensive insight into the contemporary oeuvre of Silke Leverkühne and contains an extensive interview with the artist. New works are contrasted with an exemplary selection from earlier series of works and supplemented with sketches and photographs.
Alex Müller
The artist Alex Müller (b. Düren, 1971; lives and works in Berlin) devotes herself to painting and sculpture and stages rooms as walkin pictures. Her works transpose organic materials such as apples or opium poppy and objects taken from everyday reality into fantastic, paradoxical, and enigmatic arrangements. In addition to autobiographical sources, the cultural memory of a society defined by media plays a central role as the artist devises these constellations. Inspiration drawn from the television shows of her childhood and youth, her admiration for filmmakers such as Peter Greenaway, and her fascination with mythological and astrological knowledge are of crucial importance in this process. Alex Müller's works accordingly oscillate between identification and secrecy, between the creation of meaning and hermeticism. Includes an essay by Patrizia Dander and a preface by Renate Goldmann.

Es gibt kaum eine Landschaft, eine Burg oder eine Ortsansicht aus seiner Heimat Düren und der Eifel, die Ernst Ohst (1914–2000) nicht in einem feingestaltigen Aquarell oder einer Zeichnung festgehalten hat. Auch auf seinen zahlreichen Reisen, unter anderem in dem von ihm so geliebten und oft bereisten Frankreich, hatte er stets Malutensilien dabei und ließ kaum ein Gebäude oder eine Straßenszene ungezeichnet. Der große Nachlass von über 2000 grafischen Werken, zu dem auch Zirkusbilder und selbst gestaltete Postkarten gehören, mutet daher sehr persönlich an und zeigt eine ganz private Seite des Künstlers. Anlässlich seines 100. Geburtstages zeigt dieser reich bebilderte Band in der Reihe Unsere Werte seine Sicht auf die Welt, die ihn umgab. 0Exhibition: Leopold Hoesch Museum, Düren, Germany (06.04-24.08.2014).

Hubertus Schoeller (geb. 1942) war mit seiner Galerie in Düsseldorf 30 Jahre lang die erste Adresse für konkrete und konstruktive Kunst in Deutschland. Besonders der 1958 von Heinz Mack und Otto Piene gegründeten Gruppe ZERO stand Schoeller sehr nahe. Als er 2004 die Angliederung seiner eindrucksvollen Sammlung von über 500 Werken an das Leopold-Hoesch-Museum veranlasste, 0ermöglichte er damit dem Publikum einen dauerhaften Zugang zu den Arbeiten. Zudem wurde der Kollektion 2009 der Nachlass von Imre Kocsis zugefügt, welcher in diesem vierten Band der Reihe Unsere Werte erstmalig in seiner Gesamtheit gezeigt wird. 0Exhibition: Leopold Hoesch Museum & Papiermuseum, Düren, Germany (14.09-23.11.2014).
