    Alex Katz

    Pop art ahead, Alex Katz developed a figurative painting, which was significantly reduced in the early 1960s-influenced by film, television and poster advertising. Apparently distant and incredibly stylish, he created portraits of the New York scene and the well -off leisure society. The pressure graphic plays a central role in his work. In lithographs, etchings, screen prints, wood and linen cuts reproduced, reflects and reduces that cool aesthetics of an immediate contemporary and present.
    Since the first publication of a list of works, Katz has almost doubled his pressure -graphic oeuvre: time for a new inventory. New essays, interviews with Katz, a list of all print graphics, cutout editions and artist books as well as a list of its use graphics, book illustrations and projects in public space enable a profound examination of one of the best-known American artists of our time.

    National-Galerie
    Michael Werner is one of the most internationally influential gallery owners of the post-war period. His first exhibition in 1963 caused a scandal, as did many thereafter. But for him, it was never about provocation for its own sake, but always about the possibilities of art to resist rigid structures and assert its own reality.

    In this book, Werner tells of his childhood during World War II and the struggles of finding his way. He reports on artists with whom he worked, argued, failed spectacularly, and achieved great successes. His accounts, together with photographs and documents, not only form an impressive contemporary testimony, but also show that the artistic tensions that emerged back then are far from fully explored.

    Michael Werner, born in 1939, is a German art dealer and gallery owner. His gallery Michael Werner, now based in Berlin and which, over the course of his long career, was also represented in Cologne, London, New York, Paris, and Athens, is one of the most internationally influential galleries in post-war history. With it, he sustainably established artists such as Georg Baselitz, A. R. Penck, Markus Lüpertz, Jörg Immendorff, Per Kirkeby, Marcel Broodthaers, and Sigmar Polke.

    Nils Emmerichs, born in 1988, studied art history and philosophy in Düsseldorf, Basel, and Karlsruhe. He earned his doctorate on the influence of visual arts on Heiner Müller's work. For the Kunsthalle Bielefeld, he supervised and curated exhibitions by Michael Majerus, Olaf Nicolai, and Andreas Schulze, and conceived a series of events with Rosemarie Trockel. As an author and editor, he has published texts on Marcel Odenbach, Leiko Ikemura, Ulrich Rückriem, and A. R. Penck, among others.

    Franz Marc: Die Suche nach einer besseren Welt
    Franz Marc's work fascinates with its vibrant colors and deep connection to nature, particularly evident in his depictions of animals. Although the artist lived a rather secluded life, he was not a loner, but built an extensive network spanning Paris, Berlin, and Munich. Together with Wassily Kandinsky, he co-founded the editorial collective "Der Blaue Reiter" (The Blue Rider) and became a passionate pioneer of modern art. His work, created between 1904 and 1914, evolved towards cubist dissolution of form; with the outbreak of the First World War, his creative endeavors came to an abrupt end.

    The catalog traces the journey of a seeker who, in an era marked by a belief in progress, yearned for a spiritual space beyond technology. Published for Franz Marc's first monographic exhibition in over twenty years, this publication offers a comprehensive insight into the work of this extraordinary artist.

    FRANZ MARC (1880–1916) is considered one of the most important painters of German Expressionism. His study of literature and linguistics and his bilingual upbringing by his French mother shaped him, as did his intensive engagement with the art of his time. He died at the age of 36 near Verdun in the First World War.

  • Lovis Corinth. Dann kam Berlin!
    Bestseller
    Lovis Corinth. Dann kam Berlin!
    The significance of Lovis Corinth (1858–1925) for modernism can hardly be overstated. Even during his lifetime, the painter was one of the most important figures in the Berlin art scene. Born and raised in Tapiau, East Prussia, he moved from Munich to the imperial capital in 1900. At this time, Berlin was already significantly more progressive than the Bavarian residence city. "It only really started in Berlin," Corinth is said to have commented on his success story on the Spree.

    The exhibition and catalogue focus on Corinth's career and his great influence on the city's art scene, but also on his formative private environment. Less well-known themes also demonstrate how modern the artist painted, lived and thought: Corinth's painting school, where he primarily taught women, and his work for the Berlin theatre.

    Lovis Corinth (1858–1925) is one of the most important representatives of German Impressionism. Born in East Prussia, the painter studied in Königsberg, Munich and Paris before rising to become a leading figure of the Berlin Secession. His extensive oeuvre ranges from portraits and nudes to landscapes. At the beginning of the 20th century, he became one of the most important representatives of modernism.

    Stillleben

    They fascinate us today as they did 500 years ago: elaborate compositions of exotic fruits or platters with oysters, floral arrangements and skulls, exquisitely decorated musical instruments and scientific instruments. Magical things testify to exuberant wealth and hedonism as well as to the enlightened curiosity and religious fervor of the Baroque era. This lavishly illustrated book that even features a pictorial glossary sets the stage for the internationally renowned collection of still lifes housed in Dresden’s Gemäldegalerie (Picture Gallery). Focusing on the dazzling masterpieces of Dutch and Flemish painting, this book examines the genre in all its diverse facets. What meaning, what content, and what function did still lifes have, what allegories and symbols are concealed in their coded messages? How did the artists take the game of optical illusion to extremes? More than 70 still lifes from the Dresden collection by painters such as Cornelis de Heem, Abraham Mignon, Rachel Ruysch, and Frans Snyders provide a unique insight into the golden age of this magical genre.

    Günter Fruhtrunk Werkverzeichnis der Bilder | Catalogue Raisonné of the Paintings 1952-1982

    With his pictures, Günter Fruhtrunk (1923-1982) created an autonomous, uncompromising oeuvre that made him one of the outstanding representatives of German painting in the post-war era. He became famous for his vector-like, diagonal stripes: impressive paintings of parallel, diagonal bundles of stripes in yellow, orange, green, black, and white, whose geometrical, abstract vocabulary of forms he derived from constructivism.

    This catalogue raisonné—the result of extensive scientific research over a period of four years— contains all of the paintings he produced between 1952 and 1982. Along with several essays that explore Fruhtrunk’s work and its significance, while also defining its place in art history, the catalogue raisonné contains texts by the author never published before and an extensive biography. The work is organized into two volumes according to chronology and visual motif.

    Fondation Beyeler. 25 Highlights
    From Rousseau to Richter, from Brancusi to Bourgeois, from Monet to Miro – this volume presents 25 highlights that have moved the art world, all in a fresh way. Selected to mark 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 work Flowers, whether in Mondrian's abstract grids or Rothko's expressively glowing color fields: a visionary power that transcends its own time is evident in these 25 works. They are symbolic of the collection of modern art, assembled with subtle intuition by the gallerist couple Ernst and Hildy Beyeler, and of the museum, which, since its founding in 1997, has become one of the most popular and successful in Europe.
