    drawings on paper such as Afrikanische Suite (1970) or the mur- al installations, such as the one at Galerie René Block in 1969. Blinky Palermo’s work as a whole is an essential element of any analysis of artistic innovations and concerns after 1965 in BLINKY both Europe and the United States. Himmelsrichtungen, 1976, is his last architectural work. Shown at the 1976 Venice Biennale – in the context of the show Ambiente, curated by PALERMO Germano Celant –, it is now reconstructed in an exhibition space in the neighbourhood of the MACBA building (c/ Torres i Amat), with the aim of presenting a faithful reproduction of the original installation.

    Blinky Palermo To the People of New York City September 15, 2018–March 9, 2019 Dia:Chelsea 545 West 22nd Street New York City www.diaart.org Blinky Palermo To the People of New York City To the People of New York City is Blinky Palermo’s last work. It was completed in 1976 upon the artist’s return to Germany, following a three-year stay in New York City. The title for this painting in multiple parts is derived from a simple dedication, “To the people of N.Y.C.,” inscribed on the backs of the work’s forty aluminum panels. In scale, size, chromatic variation, and structure, To the People of New York City is unparalleled in the artist’s oeuvre. Palermo died suddenly in 1977 and was never able to oversee a public installation of this work. However, he left detailed instructions for To the People of New York City’s arrangement in the form of sixteen preparatory studies (presented here in an adjacent gallery). The last of these sketches illustrates each of the painted panels in sequential order, providing a codex for this immersive installation. Each of To the People of New York City’s fifteen sections consists of one to four rectilinear metal panels with variable space between the set, such that the distance between the panels of the groupings must be equal to their respective width. Part VI is the only exception to this rule. It includes two panels that directly abut each other to form the illusion of a single panel. The dimensions of the panels fluctuate from about 8¼ by 6¼ inches to 49¼ by 43¼ inches to 39½ by 78¾ inches, so that the installation can be expanded or contracted to be shown in different spaces while maintaining its internal logic.

    NINO MIER GALLERY HOSTING WENTRUP GALLERY THOMAS WACHHOLZ | DAVID RENGGLI Cha Cha Cha June 26 - July 31, 2021 NINO MIER GALLERY 7313 SANTA MONICA BLVD LOS ANGELES CA 90046 Thomas Wachholz and David Renggli Cha Cha Cha Gallery exchange with WENTRUP, Berlin June 30 - July 31, 2021 Matchboxes are a dying relic from a time when smoking in public and especially in cafes, restaurants, and bars was still unrestricted and consequently much more widespread than it is today. The ephemeral matchbox very quickly developed into a form of free souvenir that, charged with individual memory, still connects the owner years later with the personal visit experience coupled to space and time. Over the decades, a discipline related to the collection of matchboxes developed in the form of phillumeny. This background opens up both a starting point and a frame of reference for the series of works on view at Nino Mier Gallery in which Thomas Wachholz deals with the cultural artifact of the matchbox on both a conceptual and painterly level. In the early phase of the series, the artist focused primarily on participatory and processual elements. For several years, however, painting itself has become increasingly important. Starting from his matchbox collection, the artist deals with the found pictorial and color worlds as well as their compositions. In doing so, he develops them further to a point where they become independent of the original designs and turn into independent painterly subjects. A new, abstract repertoire of colors and forms emerges in the process, which the artist repeatedly samples and condenses into new compositions.

    BLINKY PALERMO Cover: Coney Island II, 1975. Collection Ströher, Darmstadt. Photo: Jens Ziehe This page: Blaue Scheibe und Stab [Blue Disk and Staff], 1968. Private Collection, Courtesy Hauser & Wirth. Photo: Jens Ziehe All images © 2010 Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York/VG Bild-Kunst, Bonn “Blinky Palermo” was the name assumed by Peter Heisterkamp shortly after he joined the class of Joseph Beuys at the Düsseldorf Art Academy in the early 1960s. While Heisterkamp’s decision to change his identity may have had multiple causes, his deep fascination with American culture, and with Beat literature and Abstract Expressionist painting in particular, played a key role in his adoption of this idiosyncratic moniker, derived from boxer Sonny Liston’s Mafi oso manager, whom Heisterkamp supposedly resembled. During his formative years at the Academy, Palermo consolidated his painterly aesthetic, stimulated in part by his charismatic and infl uential teacher and by several young painters then gaining critical recognition, most notably Gerhard Richter. Although eleven years older, Richter would in time become Palermo’s close personal friend as well as occasional artistic collaborator. Palermo remained steadfastly committed to painting during a period and in a context in which that art form was widely contested as a viable mode of contemporary art practice. Throughout his brief career, he retained his early fascination with the work of such revered predecessors as Kasimir Malevich, Piet Mondrian, Mark Rothko, and Barnett Newman. He was nonetheless most directly challenged by those among his peers who were pushing the envelope of painting, questioning not only its conventional materials and traditional format and structure but its very identity.

    Joseph Beuys 1 Joseph Beuys Joseph Beuys Offset poster for Beuys' 1974 US lecture-series "Energy Plan for the Western Man", organised by Ronald Feldman Gallery - Courtesy Ronald Feldman Fine Arts, New York Born May 12, 1921Krefeld, Germany Died January 23, 1986 (aged 64)Düsseldorf Nationality German Field Performances, sculpture, visual art, aesthetics, social philosophy Training Kunstakademie Düsseldorf Joseph Beuys (German pronunciation: [ˈjoːzɛf ˈbɔʏs]; May 12, 1921, Krefeld – January 23, 1986, Düsseldorf) was a German performance artist, sculptor, installation artist, graphic artist, art theorist and pedagogue of art. His extensive work is grounded in concepts of humanism, social philosophy and anthroposophy; it culminates in his "extended definition of art" and the idea of social sculpture as a gesamtkunstwerk, for which he claimed a creative, participatory role in shaping society and politics. His career was characterized by passionate, even acrimonious public debate, but he is now regarded as one of the most influential artists of the 20th century.[1] [2] Biography Childhood and early life in the Third Reich (1921-1941) Joseph Beuys was the son of the merchant Josef Jakob Beuys (1888–1958) and Johanna Maria Margarete Beuys (born Hülsermann, 1889–1974). The parents had moved from Geldern to Krefeld in 1910, and Beuys was born there on May 12, 1921. In autumn of that year the family moved to Kleve, an industrial town in the Lower Rhine region of Germany, close to the Dutch border. There, Joseph attended primary school (Katholische Volksschule) and secondary/high- school (Staatliches Gymnasium Cleve, now the Freiherr-vom-Stein-Gymnasium). His teachers considered him to have a talent for drawing; he also took piano- and cello lessons.

  • Leidenschaft Ist Unser Antrieb« | Works from the Collection Kunstraum Am Limes in Memoriam Dr. Axel Ciesielski Exhibition
    »Leidenschaft ist unser Antrieb« | Works from the Collection Kunstraum am Limes In Memoriam Dr. Axel Ciesielski Exhibition: 04.09.2020 – 31.10.2020 Opening reception: 04.09.2020, 11 am - 9 pm For many years Galerie Christian Lethert and the Kunstraum am Limes - Sammlung Zeitgenössischer Kunst have been collaborated closely. Therefore we are delighted to present parts of the collection in Cologne in memory of Dr. Axel Ciesielski (1944-2019). In addition to this first exhibition cooperation, Galerie Christian Lethert will continue to work with Kunstraum am Limes and will also take care of the collection in the future. The exhibition title »Leidenschaft ist unser Antrieb« (»Passion is our motivation«) quotes a Sigmar Polke edition from 1999. At the same time it describes what drove Ciesielski to build up his collection: the fascination and passion for contemporary art. A gallery visit in 1997 laid the foundation for the collection, which today comprises important works by Sigmar Polke and his teacher K.O. Goetz, as well as by Beuys students Imi Knoebel, Felix Droese and Katharina Sieverding. A younger generation of artists is also represented, such as Gereon Krebber, Alicja Kwade, Daniel Lergon and Jorinde Voigt. The ceramic tradition of the region is also reflected in the numerous pieces in the collection and thus Ciesielski's affinity to his native region. With his enthusiasm for art and the desire to share it with others – "Art must be visible", as the passionate collector always emphasized –, the Kunstraum am Limes - Sammlung Zeitgenössischer Kunst in Hillscheid was founded in 2005. The exhibition in Cologne brings together works by 29 artists from the collection, including the grid picture "Biertisch" (1999) by Sigmar Polke, the work "Kunst=Kapital" (1980) by Joseph Beuys and the original wall painting "Blaues Dreieck", which Blinky Palermo mounted above a door in the Galerie Klein in Bonn in 1972.

Contemporary modern art was the focus even at the original museum in its Classicist building. In addition to renowned artists such as Cézanne, van Gogh, Monet, Renoir, Rodin, Kirchner, Schmidt-Rottluff, Pechstein, Nolde, Kandinsky, and Matisse, the legendary Sonderbund exhibitions also took place at the museum in 1909 and 1911. In 1967 the building, which had been severely damaged in the war, was torn down and rebuilt as a brutalist concrete cube slightly set back on Grabbeplatz by the architects Konrad Beckmann and Christoph Brockes. On 30 April 2017, the Kunsthalle Düsseldorf will celebrate its fiftieth anniversary in the building. From the beginning, the museum was conceived as an institution for very different and idiosyncratic exhibition formats, which have focused on an “expanded concept of art” and interdisciplinary approaches under the aegis of Karl Ruhrberg, Jürgen Harten, Marie-Luise Syring, Ulrike Groos, and myself.
