COPLEY SOCIETY OF BOSTON. International Exhibition of Modern Art. Under the auspices of the Association of American Painters and Sculptors, Incorporated. April 28th - May 19th, 1913. Preface by Frederick James Gregg. (56)pp. 15 plates in text. Orig. dec. wraps., printed in green, blue and brown with the pine-tree emblem of the exhibition. The original catalogue of the Armory Show in its third and final installation, following its exposure in New York (Feb. 15--March 15) and Chicago (March 24--April 16) earlier that spring. For this last stop, the show was radically edited and reduced to a final selection of 250 works, all of them European--a decision prompted by space considerations, but one which pleased a number of the organizers, including Walt Kuhn, who felt this to be the purest and more successful version of the exhibition. The Boston and Chicago catalogues are illustrated (including work by Picabia, Villon, Archipenko and Brancusi, as well as the Post-Impressionists and others), unlike the New York version, which is strictly textual. From the library of Robert C. Vose (of the Vose Galleries, Boston), with his signature on the front cover and at head of the first leaf, dated 1959, and titled by him at spine. First two leaves within a bit dog-eared at lower corner; otherwise a very clean and fresh copy. Boston, 1913. $6,000.00 Cf.

The design had to be prepared in tremendous haste and make use of an available printer’s typecase. The notes, in varying denominations...signified by different colors, are probably the first--and one suspects the only--paper money ever designed that eschews the vanity of flourish and curlicue by which the state banks of the world impose their seriousness. Rejecting such trivializing conventions, Bayer organizes the material so that it remains indisputably significant, while putting to one side, so to speak, in a perpendicular block of type all information that describes ARS LIBRI 2 NEW YORK ANTIQUARIAN BOOK FAIR 2011 MODERN ILLUSTRATED BOOKS the legal and banking provisions of the note. Bayer’s banknotes are of such elegance and simplicity, one would like to imagine that, unassisted, they stemmed Germany’s inflation and restored confidence in its benighted currency” (Cohen).

Berthold type foundry company a successful face known simply as Bayer-type, which more modestly than universal type was based on a simplified version of a classical serif Antiqua. Although universal type was and remained the ideal typeface, Bayer always lived in the real world, and if the real world preferred a serif face, better that it should employ one that had been repreceived and drawn anew. The result was Bayer-type, a constructed alphabet in light, bold, and extra-bold weights that was well received and widely used throughout the 1930s in Germany and Scandinavia” (Cohen).

Each is titled “Aspen Postcard” on the verso, with designation for 1 1/2¢ stamp. Gwen Chanzit, in her catalogue of the Bayer collection and archive at the Denver Art Museum, dates the set to circa 1947. “Bayer arrived in Aspen in a snowstorm in April 1946 and immediately began to define a plan for the town in transition. He restored decaying Victorian houses and the old Wheeler Opera House, which had been extensively damaged by a series of fires, and designed posters and leaflets to promote the town and its new skiing opportunities.... [Aspen’s] development required innumerable designs for letterheads, brochures and posters to promote the new cultural center and its recreational advantages.” The series includes fanciful collages of old and new Aspen--shingle-style houses and the 1890 courthouse, with superimposed Victorian wood-engravings with surreal cutouts--and dynamic photomontages and -collages of skiers. One view of the slopes is surrealistically embellished with giant snowflake-emblazoned green leaves, casting shadows like tall trees: their design is repeated as an emblem on the back of the entire series of cards, and figured in a Bayer travel poster for Aspen in 1946.

The similarity of the structures ...and the sameness of the style all contribute to a monotonic effect. But it is this monotony that is so surprisingly refreshing....

  • 1938. BIRTHDAY PARTY with GUESTS CELEBRATES a PIVOTAL YEAR for PHOTOGRAPHY by Sophie Wright, March 15, 2018
    1938. BIRTHDAY PARTY WITH GUESTS CELEBRATES A PIVOTAL YEAR FOR PHOTOGRAPHY By Sophie Wright, March 15, 2018 The Sprengel Museum in Hanover celebrates the year in which Boris Mikhailov, Josef Koudelka, Daido Moriyama, Helga Paris, Johan van der Keuken, and Heinrich Riebesehl were born with a thought-provoking group show open until 03 June In terms of history and photography, 1938 was a significant year. With Germany’s annexation of Austria, the Munich Agreement, the November Pogrom and the Évian Conference, which addressed the international response to the refugee crisis, it was a decisive point in time, with repercussions that would shape generations to come. It was also the year that six iconic photographers, who would document this shifting world, were born. This spring, the occasion will be honoured with a special celebration at the Sprengel Museum Hannover, titled 1938. Birthday Party with Guests. Initiated to commemorate the 80th anniversary of German photographer Heinrich Riebesehl, whose archive is housed at the museum, the exhibition evolved into a wider historical survey that sketches an international perspective on the second half of the 20th century. Joining Riebesehl are Johan van der Keuken, Josef Koudelka, Boris Mikhailov, Daido Moriyama and Helga Paris. For curator Inka Schube, this wave of artists born in 1938 represents a very particular generation: those who experienced the Second World War as children, too young to remember much more than playing in its rubble but growing up in the world it created. Organised in chronological order, 1938. Birthday Party with Guests proposes a walk through history that is in direct dialogue with the present, courtesy of some younger guests.

  • Northern Gothic: Werner Haftmann's German
    documenta studies #11 December 2020 NANNE BUURMAN Northern Gothic: Werner Haftmann’s German Lessons, or A Ghost (Hi)Story of Abstraction This essay by the documenta and exhibition scholar Nanne Buurman I See documenta: Curating the History of the Present, ed. by Nanne Buurman and Dorothee Richter, special traces the discursive tropes of nationalist art history in narratives on issue, OnCurating, no. 13 (June 2017). German pre- and postwar modernism. In Buurman’s “Ghost (Hi)Story of Abstraction” we encounter specters from the past who swept their connections to Nazism under the rug after 1945, but could not get rid of them. She shows how they haunt art history, theory, the German feuilleton, and even the critical German postwar literature. The editor of documenta studies, which we founded together with Carina Herring and Ina Wudtke in 2018, follows these ghosts from the history of German art and probes historical continuities across the decades flanking World War II, which she brings to the fore even where they still remain implicit. Buurman, who also coedited the volume documenta: Curating the History of the Present (2017),I thus uses her own contribution to documenta studies to call attention to the ongoing relevance of these historical issues for our contemporary practices. Let’s consider the Nazi exhibition of so-called Degenerate Art, presented in various German cities between 1937 and 1941, which is often regarded as documenta’s negative foil. To briefly recall the facts: The exhibition brought together more than 650 works by important artists of its time, with the sole aim of stigmatizing them and placing them in the context of the Nazis’ antisemitic racial ideology.

  • A Moral Persuasion: the Nazi-Looted Art Recoveries of the Max Stern Art Restitution Project, 2002-2013
    A MORAL PERSUASION: THE NAZI-LOOTED ART RECOVERIES OF THE MAX STERN ART RESTITUTION PROJECT, 2002-2013 by Sara J. Angel A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of PhD Graduate Department Art University of Toronto © Copyright by Sara J. Angel 2017 PhD Abstract A Moral Persuasion: The Nazi-Looted Art Recoveries of the Max Stern Art Restitution Project, 2002-2013 Sara J. Angel Department of Art University of Toronto Year of convocation: 2017 In 1937, under Gestapo orders, the Nazis forced the Düsseldorf-born Jewish art dealer Max Stern to sell over 200 of his family’s paintings at Lempertz, a Cologne-based auction house. Stern kept this fact a secret for the rest of his life despite escaping from Europe to Montreal, Canada, where he settled and became one of the country’s leading art dealers by the mid-twentieth century. A decade after Stern’s death in 1987, his heirs (McGill University, Concordia University, and The Hebrew University of Jerusalem) discovered the details of what he had lost, and how in the post-war years Stern travelled to Germany in an attempt to reclaim his art. To honour the memory of Max Stern, they founded the Montreal- based Max Stern Art Restitution Project in 2002, dedicated to regaining ownership of his art and to the study of Holocaust-era plunder and recovery. This dissertation presents the histories and circumstances of the first twelve paintings claimed by the organization in the context of the broader history of Nazi-looted art between 1933-2012. Organized into thematic chapters, the dissertation documents how, by following a carefully devised approach of moral persuasion that combines practices like publicity, provenance studies, law enforcement, and legal precedents, the Max Stern Art Restitution Project set international precedents in the return of cultural property.

  • Art Exhibitions Between 1920S and 1930S, Reflected in the Avant- Garde Magazine UNU
    Învăţământ, Cercetare, Creaţie Vol. 7 No. 1 - 2021 171 Art Exhibitions between 1920s and 1930s, Reflected in the Avant- garde Magazine UNU Cristina GELAN1 Abstract: In the first decades of the twentieth century, when the trend of emancipation of Romanian culture - literature, but also art, under the influence of traditionalist direction and synchronization with European ideas became increasingly evident, the avant-garde movement proposed a series of aesthetic programs, aiming to impose a new vision, both in literature and in art. In this sense, the magazines founded during this period had a major role, even if many of them appeared for relatively short periods of time. Among them, there is the magazine UNU, a publication that appeared in Dorohoi, between April and December 1928, and later, between January 1929 and December 1932, in Bucharest. The magazine had declared itself surrealist and promoted the experiences of avant-garde events. Key-words: Romanian art; avant-garde; new art; UNU; surrealism 1.

  • Balint Juhasz Doctoral School of History, Pázmány Péter Catholic University
    VI International Forum for Doctoral Candidates in East European Art History, Berlin, 3rd May 2019, organized by the Chair of East European Art History, Humboldt University Berlin Balint Juhasz Doctoral School of History, Pázmány Péter Catholic University The Italian trend of the Interwar Hungarian Neoclassicism Art in Transylvania Subject and main question of the PHD Project The Trianon Treaty of 4 June 1920 led to the break-up of certain regions from the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the birth of new nations. Before World War I, Hungarian artists from Transylvania were studying in Munich and Paris. Tightening the boundaries and breaking away from the motherland led to the creation of a new part of the country. In Transylvania, at the beginning of the 1920s, the only colony of artists at European level existed in Nagybánya (Baia Mare), where not only Hungarians but also Romanian and German students could learn. On the other hand, the artschool of Kolozsvár (Cluj) founded in 1925 and then relocated to Timisoara was an alternative solution. Aurel Ciupe, a Romanian artist who teached there, had a greater insight into European developments. Paris remained the most important station for Romanian artists in Bucharest and Transylvania. Nevertheless, some German artists like Max Hermann Maxy and Fritz Kimm preferred Berlin for retraining. By contrast, in the 1920s and 1930s, Italy underwent through a major transformation. Already in 1917 and 1918, many members of the Italian artistic generation, who survived the horrors of the war, forgot the lively optimism and radicalism of futurism. Leading figures as Giorgio de Chirico, Mario Sironi, and Felice Casorati have chosen the spirituality of Valori Plastici and Novecento.
