We celebrate 75 years of Hatje Cantz with the motto “Art on the Beat.” Here too, there will be events, discus- sions, and exhibition visits that will take place differently than planned in spring. The conditions of the pandemic demand new formats and special requirements for each personal meeting. We will provide information about the program on our digital channels. Together with Joana Katte, Torsten Köchlin has created our dynamic birthday logo, while our website will also get a new look for this great anniversary—but as with many good things, it will take a little time.

Tschechische Kunst in drei Generationen 39 Marianna Christofides Two Masters in Dialogue For the first time in a museum exhibition—and hence, in this catalogue—the groundbreaking work of a great innova- tor of late-nineteenth-century sculpture encounters the in- fluential work from a protagonist of twentieth-century ab- stract sculpture: Auguste Rodin meets Hans (Jean) Arp. Both artists are characterized by their unique artistic innovations and the joy of experimentation; both strongly influenced their eras and have lost nothing of their topicality to this day. As sculptural milestones, the creations of Rodin and Arp illustrate in a vivid and exemplary way fundamental aspects in the development of modern sculpture. Rodin’s pioneering ideas and new artistic horizons for sculpture were taken up by Arp and fascinatingly developed, reinterpreted, or con- trasted. Indeed, both oeuvres exhibit numerous artistic af- finities and points of reference, which become a particularly revealing visual experience in this clever juxtaposition. AUGUSTE RODIN (1840–1917) led sculpture to new forms of expression, ultimately approaching Impressionism stylistically with his dynamic surface, while also under the influence of Symbolism, in terms of con- tent. Sculptures such as The Thinker, The Kiss or The Burghers of Calais are among the icons of modernism. HANS (JEAN) ARP (1886–1966), founder of the Dada movement in Zurich, is known for his biomorphic sculptures in plaster, stone, and bronze. He sought the expression of “organic abstraction.” His oeuvre HIGHLIGHTS also includes paintings, drawings, and poems.

For it is in this capacity—as an acting, speak- ing, and moving figure—that Beuys examined the central, radical idea of his expanded concept of art: "Every human being is an artist." The goal of his universalist approach was to renew society from the ground up. To this day, his influence can be felt in artistic and political discourses. In this exhibition, contemporary artists and representatives from various areas of society enter into a multilayered, transcultural dialogue with Beuys. From today’s perspec- tive, they confirm, question, and expand upon his theses about the possibilities of a future conceived via art. JOSEPH BEUYS (1921–1986) fundamentally changed the twenti- eth-century as a draftsman, sculptor, teacher, politician, activist, ac- tion, and installation artist. His 100th birthday in 2021 is an occasion to rediscover, appreciate, and critically question his complex body of work and his international influence.

Rich Associate Professor of Art History Thesis Supervisor Sarah K. Rich Associate Professor of Art History Honors Adviser Nancy E. Locke Associate Professor of Art History Faculty Reader * Electronic approvals are on file. i ABSTRACT This thesis looks into the body of art works created by Wolfgang Tillmans from the early 1980s to the present, with a focus on the transforming quality of the photographic medium. The essay first investigates the early clashing of mediums in the artist’s work: the photo printer, digital camera, and film in the photograph surface. Then, the essay delves into a longer history of abstract photography that relates to modernist notions of medium specificity. The third chapter deals with the issue of body in a double fold: the body of the art work, and the body of the artist. The fourth chapter introduces a systematic view on Tillmans’ thirty-years-long oeuvre, connecting the motif of astronomy with a distinct world view hidden behind Tillmans photographs. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS Acknowledgements....................................................................................................................... iii List of Figures..............................................................................................................................

Ascending the majestic staircase of the classicist art palace built between 1890 and 1900 for the Towarzystwo Zachęty Sztuk Pięknych, the then Society for the Encouragement of the Fine Arts, and now home to the Zachęta Naradowa Galeria Sztuki, Poland’s National Gallery, I make my way up to Wolfgang Tillmans’ exhibition Zachęta. Ermutigung (Zachęta. Encouragement). En route I see large paper-drop pictures hanging in niches that must originally have been intended for paintings. These close-ups of sheets of curling, curving photographic paper with shimmering and gleaming polychrome surfaces are unframed, held in position by the foldback clips that Tillmans uses to present his works on paper. With the three-dimensionality of the images and the three-dimensionality of the physical objects, the paper-drop pictures perform a dance of gravity, materials, reflections and shadows. They show what they are, even if not completely. For the difference between the materiality of the photographic paper ‘in’ the pictures and the archival sheets exhibited here (207 × 138 centi- metres) that have absorbed the ink-jet prints, prevents any over-hasty identification.

Uncovered and Unconventional: Preserving Works on Paper and Photographs on Open Display Nina Quabeck Presented as a poster at the 2014 AIC Annual Meeting in San Francisco ABSTRACT The format of the frame, quintessentially emphasizing the preciousness of a work of art, is often problematic or even undesirable for modern and contemporary works on paper and photographs. In many cases, these works are large-scale, three-dimensional or even more like room-spanning installations - in short unconventional - and a far cry from the traditional contained paper-based artwork.

Welchman calls the “blazing network of focused conflations” from which Mike Kelley’s styles are generated is on display in all its diversity in this second volume of his writings. The first volume, Foul Perfection, contained thematic essays and writings about other artists; this collection concentrates on Kelley’s own work, ranging from texts in “voices” that grew out of scripts for performance pieces to expository critical and autobiographical writings. Minor Histories organizes Kelley’s writings into five sections. “Statements” consists of twenty pieces produced MINOR between 1984 and 2002 (most of which were written to accompany exhibitions), including “Ajax,” which draws on MIKE KELLEY Homeric epic, Colgate-Palmolive advertising, and Longinus to present its eponymous hero; “Some Aesthetic High Points,” an exercise in autobiography that counters the standard artist bio included in catalogs and press releases; and a sequence of “creative writings” that use mass cultural tropes in concert with high art mannerisms—approximating in prose the visu- MINOR HISTORIES al styles that characterize Kelley’s artwork. “Video Statements and Proposals” are introductions to videos made by Kelley and other artists, including Paul McCarthy and Bob Flanagan and Sheree Rose. “Image-Texts” offers writings that accom- Statements, Conversations, Proposals pany or are part of artworks and installations.

  • Be the Dead Tree on Albert Oehlen's Paintings
    Be the Dead Tree On Albert Oehlen’s Paintings Daniel Baumann The table is well covered, but the interpretation and discourse are running towards desserts and love. And we? We keep reading, because in the past fifteen years alone more than twenty exhibition catalogues on the work of Albert Oehlen have appeared, and each one includes at least one essay with at least one pronouncement or explanation. This artist has been relentlessly pursued by a wave of interpretations that he himself has encouraged. At times he rides it, at other times he ignores it; he has been known to play with it and then to disperse it again—preferably all at once, so that a sense of autonomy sets in, not for the art but for the artist. “I am not willing to be a pawn of the art market, theorists, or curators.” 1 “Albert Oehlen is a difficult artist to pin down. This is deliberate on his part.” 2 True, yet it is generally agreed that he makes paintings. These are described as varied and unpredictable, which may explain the nervous search for interpretations. Two different approaches seem to prevail. The first one attempts to place Oehlen in a kind of genealogy by comparing him with other artists. With more or less success he is associated with and discussed in relation to Salvador Dalí, Willem de Kooning, Philip Guston, Anselm Kiefer, Francis Picabia, Sigmar Polke, Jackson Pollock, Robert Rauschenberg, Julian Schnabel, and so on. In some cases he has triggered these comparisons himself by mentioning Dalí or Picabia in interviews.
