    Fondation Beyeler. 25 Highlights
    From Rousseau to Richter, from Brancusi to Bourgeois, from Klee to Calder – this fresh and unbiased volume spotlights 25 masterpieces that have moved the art world. Selected for the 25th anniversary of the Fondation Beyeler from its collection of around 400 works. Whether in the revolutionary reflections of light on Monet's Water Lilies or Warhol's Pop Art Flowers, whether in Mondrian's abstract grids or Rothko's expressively glowing color fields: these 25 works reveal a visionary power that extends beyond their own time. They symbolically represent the carefully assembled collection of modern art by the gallerist couple Ernst and Hildy Beyeler, and its outstandingly curated continuation, which has made the museum one of Europe's most popular and successful since its founding in 1997. Re-assembled with a new perspective, a dialogue emerges between these diverse works of unique creative power.

  • Das Buchcover von Kunstmuseum Basel, New Building zeigt eine Aussenaufnahme des grauen, modernen Museumsbaus in der Dämmerung.
    Bestseller
    Kunstmuseum Basel

    In April 2016, the Kunstmuseum Basel is opening its new building, increasing its exhibition space by approximately two thirds. Designed by the architectural office Christ & Gantenbein, the building is completely in the service of art—solitary in its outward appearance, it is nevertheless closely linked to the Kunstmuseum, both in formal terms as well as by means of an underground connecting tract.

    This publication introduces the building in all of its facets for the first time. In extensive texts, the director of the Kunstmuseum Basel, Bernhard Mendes Bürgi, and the architect Emanuel Christ describe the concept as well as the content-related and artistic aspects of this new building; Mechtild Widrich looks at it in the general context of museum architecture. Layout drawings and numerous illustrations complete the overview. (German edition ISBN 978-3-7757-4090-6)

    Im Tempel des Ich. Das Künstlerhaus als Gesamtkunstwerk

    As treasure troves of creativity, the homes of artists reflect the intellectual worlds of their creators. Starting with the Villa Stuck in Munich—the aesthetic, conceptual cosmos and life’s work of the aristocratic artist Franz von Stuck—this unique volume integrates the artist’s house as a category into the international context and is the first to assign these buildings the status of major works. About twenty examples bring to life the fascination that these artistic fantasies hold for art lovers, including both existing projects and some which, although they have been lost, were of unique importance in their day and still retain their charisma. Along with paintings, sculptures, and photographs closely related to the houses, plans and models convey the correlation between art and life as well as the kind of harmony of the arts expressed in Richard Wagner’s historical concept of the total work of art. (German edition ISBN 978-3-7757-3592-6)

    Houses featured (selection): Sir John Soane’s Museum, London; William Morris Red House, Bexleyheath; Louis Comfort Tiffany’s Tiffany House, New York City; Mortimer Menpes’s flat, London; the Fernand Khnopff Villa, Brussels; Jacques Majorelle’s villa and garden, Marrakesh; Kurt Schwitters’ MERZbau, Hannover; Max Ernst’s house, Arizona

    Bestseller
    Kunst um 1800
    The exhibition series Kunst um 1800 (Art around 1800) shaped debates about curatorial practice and the social relevance of art that continue to resonate today, and revised narratives of European art history. Realized in nine parts between 1974–81 at the Hamburger Kunsthalle under the direction of then-director Werner Hofmann, the cycle groundbreakingly focused on the profound upheavals at the beginning of the 19th century.
    Kunst um 1800 was a research project, exhibition experiment, celebration of the visual arts, and political statement. In the course of establishing a contentious democracy in the 1970s, the series highlighted the impact of artworks in the "Age of Revolutions." The focus was on artists who broke with the conventions of their time: Ossian, Caspar David Friedrich, Johann Heinrich Füssli, William Blake, Johan Tobias Sergel, William Turner, Philipp Otto Runge, John Flaxman, and Francisco Goya.
    The volume documents in great detail all exhibitions of Kunst um 1800 – a nine-stage process that is missing from current considerations of art exhibition history. Numerous authors from art and cultural history cast a critical eye on the post-1968 era and offer new perspectives on this decade of experiments.

    PETRA LANGE-BERNDT is Professor of Modern and Contemporary Art at the Department of Art History at the University of Hamburg.
    DIETMAR RÜBEL is Professor of History and Theory of Art at the Academy of Fine Arts Munich. Together they have curated numerous exhibitions and published books.

    Elmgreen & Dragset
    With their subversive and versatile work, the artist duo Elmgreen & Dragset are constantly devising new ways of presenting and perceiving art, as exemplified by their 2005 installation *Prada Marfa*, a permanently closed Prada shoe store in the middle of the Texas desert. *Powerless Structures, Fig. 101* depicts a boy on his rocking horse for the 2012 Fourth Plinth Commission, the regularly changing sculpture in Trafalgar Square. This volume is the first publication on the duo's sculptures, showcasing their work from the mid-1990s to the present day. Visually organized according to the aesthetic and conceptual approaches developed by the artists throughout their careers, this book contains comprehensive photographic documentation and five fundamental essays on the artists' oeuvre.

    ELMGREEN (b. Denmark) and DRAGSET (b. Norway) have been working together since 1995. Their works address sociocultural and political issues such as education and aging, gay rights, the construction of identity, consumer culture, and the privatization of public space. The artist duo has received numerous awards, including the Prize of the Nationalgalerie in Berlin (2002) and a special mention at the Biennale di Venezia (2009).
