Katalog No 26
26 NO. 26 www.leclaire-kunst.de MASTER DRAWINGS LE CLAIRE KUNST 2010 MASTER DRAWINGS NO. 26 MASTER DRAWINGS ELBCHAUSSEE 386 · 22609 HAMBURG · GERMANY · PHONE: +49 (0)40 881 0646 · FAX: +49 (0)40 880 4612 [email protected] · WWW.LECLAIRE-KUNST.DE Karoline von Kügelgen Thomas and Gianna le Claire Gerhard Kehlenbeck Since 2005 we have regularly published catalogues devoted to single artists such as Rudolf von Alt, Christoffer Wilhelm Eckersberg, Gustav Klimt, Johan Christian Dahl and Max Liebermann. It now gives us particular pleasure to be able to present a selection of works on paper from our stock. This Catalogue 26 has a special focus on French, German, Italian and Netherlandish artists. When we look at the price explosion in the market for modern and contemporary art, we have the impression that we are the tortoise to modern art’s hare. But we’re quite comfortable with this. We feel more far more secure with the solid values and historically robust performance of Old Masters. As collectors in this field, we buy only what we like. We are less concerned about the financial impact on our collections of, say, fluctuations in the oil and commodity markets, or in the Dow Jones Index and the FTSE 100. This is the strength of the Old Master market, coupled with dwindling supply and increasing demand – and the sheer beauty, immediacy and appeal of the works we collect. We are pleased to say that Karoline von Kügelgen has joined the company. She is a distinguished expert in 19th and 20th-century works on paper. -

And rightly so! The list is not complete, however, unless we include the greatest Austrian aquarellist and landscape painter of the nineteenth century: Rudolf von Alt. Although Rudolf von Alt’s achievements were extraordinary, the Viennese master—who, working in front of his motifs with great immediacy, the utmost realism and relying on only a few pans of paint, rendered views of areas of natural beauty, of castles and palaces, of cities and interiors of princely palaces suffused with light throughout nearly eight decades—was no solitaire. Matthäus Loder and Thomas Ender who, together with other ‘Kammermaler’ (painters in the court’s employ), worked for Archduke John of Austria, are to be considered as much on a par with Rudolf von Alt as Peter Fendi and Carl Schindler, who, quite differently disposed, espoused genre painting and its contemplative, intimate and spiritual nature. -

Nimmen: Klimt Year in Vienna, Part Two Nineteenth-Century Art Worldwide 12, no. 1 (Spring 2013) Klimt Year in Vienna: Part Two On Gustav Klimt’s actual 150th birthday—July 14, 2012—Googlers around the world launched their searches under a Doodle of The Kiss (1907–08; Belvedere, Vienna). Although the picture was stretched out of its square format to accommodate the logo letters in golden tesserae, the Austrian tourist board welcomed this gift. In Vienna, eight of the eleven Klimt exhibitions mounted in 2012 were still on view.[1] On the rainy eve of his sesquicentennial, a new Gustav Klimt Center opened in Kammer am Attersee, in the region where the artist vacationed each summer between 1900 and 1916 with his Lebensmensch, the fashion designer Emilie Flöge (fig. 1). The Leopold Museum returned Klimt’s On the Attersee (1900) for a week to the banks of the lake where it was painted. On the birthday in Vienna, the Wien Museum offered a colossal cake, as well as free entry to anyone named Gustav or Emilie. The Kunsthistorisches Museum scheduled free access to its temporary Klimt bridge, built to permit a breathtakingly close inspection of his stairwell paintings. -

I gratefully attribute my interest in them to my late mother, who instilled within me a deep love for the visual arts, classical music, and all things thoughtfully crafted. The execution and completion of this project owe much to Professor Emily Braun, whose erudition, patience, and keen eyes guided me every step of the way. She allowed enough intellectual freedom for me to pursue and develop my ideas, while constantly ensuring that I was accurate, articulate, and thorough. -

City and Landscape

Our own visual experience of these perspectives lets us perceive and feel the changes in human beings’ self-concept from generation to generation. Those who portray nature also end up revealing themselves in equal measure, which makes for a fascinating journey of (self-)discovery, a search for orientation, a wordless dialogue with our origins and our shared history. For this largest-ever survey of the history of landscape painting, the ALBERTINA MUSEUM is opening up its treasure trove to show world-famous masterpieces alongside unique works that haven’t been seen publicly in decades. Visitors can look forward to strolling through a diverse assemblage of 170 landscape paintings from five centuries. From the beginnings of the autonomous landscape painting and from its pioneers, foremost among them Albrecht Dürer, the historical arc traced here extends to encompass Bruegel, Rembrandt, and the Dutch Golden Age, urban panoramas from the Renaissance and close-up vedute, utopian visions of Arcadian landscapes and illusionless, realistic views of nature from the age of industrialization, and images of grandeur and the sublime by Caspar David Friedrich as well as the horrific visions and dystopias of Alfred Kubin and the child-like dreams of playful nature originated by Paul Klee.
