PENCK Ernst Wilhelm Nay The artist was one of the most independent representatives of abstract post-war pain- ting, with the focus of his work being the rhythmic use of colour itself. Nay went through several phases in his work and, over time, expressed himself more and more freely, so that the intrinsic power of his medium was finally most vivid.

These helped him to receive a scho- larship from Karl Hofer and a place at the Akademie der Bildenden Künste in Berlin, where he was later appointed to Hofer‘s Meisterschüler. Nay took part in documenta 1-3 and in 1948 at the Venice Biennale, where he re- ceived international attention. He became a member of the German Association of Artists, received awards and was honored with extensive retrospectives during his lifetime. CLICK HERE INQUIRE CLICK HERE INQUIRE Detailed View Rot in Rot ll 1965 Rot in Rot ll The work Rot in Rot II is part of Nay‘s late work, where the simplification of his formal language becomes visible and he reduces his colour palette to mainly the primary colours. Nay‘s sequence of movements in the ap- plication of paint appears meditative, fluid and even. During this creative phase he also speaks of “arithmetic” color setting, which means the repetition of individual colours in a constant row and provides a chordal rhythm. Arch forms and ribbons of color spread out vertically and the main motifs of a pictu- re are repeated within its composition - like here a chain of lined-up discs. “A colourist is a painter who thinks through his colour and realizes the perception through the colour.“ from the essay “meine Farbe“ (Nay, 1967) Installation View 2020 FINE ARTS COLLECTION SETAREH, Dusseldorf, DE ERNST WILHELM NAY ERNST WILHELM NAY Untitled 1955 gouache and watercolour on paper 39,9 x 56,1 cm l 15 2/3 x 22 in.

The independent form gained spatiality when he began to assemble picture-sized cushions into the picture and covered them with perlon fabric.

The nails have been positioned so that the surface of the artwork appears to be moving. Due to their three-dimensional ap- pearance, light and shadow vary depending on the location of the observer. Uecker regards his nail fields as self-por- traits. They are his personal meditations.

The 1960s were rife with such moments and as such it is with pleasure that we are able to showcase the collision of three such bodies of energy in one setting for the first time since their inception anywhere in the world with ‘ZERO Gutai Kusama’. The ZERO and Gutai Groups have undergone a radical reappraisal over the past six years largely as a result of recent exhibitions at the New York Guggenheim Museum, Berlin Martin Gropius Bau and Amsterdam Stedelijk Museum amongst others. This escalation of interest is entirely understandable coming at a time where experts and collectors alike look to the influences behind the rapacious creativity we are seeing in the Contemporary Art World right now and in light of a consistently strong appetite for seminal works.

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.

We asked international experts from our partner institutions to give their thoughts. “Let’s talk” is also devoted to a museum of the future—the Humboldt-Forum.

The exhibitions approach the collection from two different temporal perspectives. One looks at the beginnings of photography, when Erich Stenger attempted to devote a museum exclusively to the technical medium. The other show turns to the 1970s, when photography was discovered as art and as a theoretical subject. For both exhibitions, Roland Barthes’s essay “Camera Lucida” provides an occasion to reexamine, in the twenty-first century, photography’s relationship to the institution of the (art) museum. As curator of contemporary art, Dr. Barbara Engelbach is in charge of photography from 1960 to the present. She has curated a series of monographic photography exhibitions on the work of exponents such as Ed Ruscha, Anna and Bernhard Blume, Jochen Lempert, and Hugo Schmölz. For the show What does the jellyfish want? Artists & Photographs she examined the collection’s holdings of photography from 1960 onward and published a catalogue raisonné. Since the fall of 2013 Dr. Miriam Halwani has been in charge of the Photographic Collection holdings dating from the medium’s beginning to 1960. Her dissertation explored the historiography of photography, its myths and role models, including the collector Erich Stenger. In Berlin she curated the show Berliner Photographie 1921 at the Museum of Photography and the exhibition Lothar Wolleh: Joseph Beuys im Moderna Museet, Stockholm, 1971 at the Hamburger Bahnhof – Museum für Gegenwart, where she was also co-curator of Martin Kippenberger: sehr gut | very good.

    GENERALDIREKTION Berlin, den 4.9.2012 PRESSE – KOMMUNIKATION – SPONSORING Stauffenbergstraße 41 PRESSEMITTEILUNG 10785 Berlin Nationalgalerie – Staatliche Museen zu Berlin Hamburger Bahnhof – Museum für Gegenwart – Berlin MECHTILD KRONENBERG Hauptgebäude, EG, West ABTEILUNGSLEITERIN Invalidenstr. 50-51, 10557 Berlin [email protected] www.smb.museum Lothar Wolleh: Joseph Beuys im Moderna Museet Stockholm, Januar 1971 ANNE SCHÄFER-JUNKER In einer Ausstellung der Nationalgalerie im Hamburger Bahnhof – Muse- PRESSE um für Gegenwart – Berlin, sind vom 4. September bis 25. November Telefon: +49 30 266-42 34 02 2012 von Lothar Wolleh 58 Schwarzweißfotografien zu sehen, die er im Telefax: +49 30 266-42 34 09 Januar 1971 in Stockholm aufgenommen hatte. [email protected] www.smb.museum/presse Die Fotos zeigen Joseph Beuys inmitten seiner Werke als er seine erste Auslandsausstellung im Moderna Museet aufbaute. 1971 haben Wolleh und Beuys 51 der gezeigten Bilder zu einem Buch (aus PVC-Folien, (44,7 x 44,2 cm)) gebunden, das Beuys in ein Metallbassin legte und mit einer Unterwasserlampe anstrahlte: das sogenannte „Unterwasserbuch“, das sich in der Sammlung Erich Marx befindet. Das „Unterwasserbuch“ wird nun zusammen mit den Fotografien präsentiert, die erstmals im Zusam- menhang zu sehen sind, auf einer Ausstellungsfläche von ca. 100 qm. Joseph Beuys zählt zu den meistfotografierten Künstlern des 20. Jahr- hunderts. Eines der Porträts zeigt ihn, wie man ihn kennt: mit Filzhut, schwerem Pelzmantel über einer Fliegerweste, hagerer Gestalt, ernstem Gesichtsausdruck. Woher das Bild stammt, von wem es aufgenommen wurde, das ist weit weniger bekannt. Einige wichtige der im Hamburger Bahnhof – Museum für Gegenwart – Berlin gezeigten Beuys-Werke sind ab September im Moskauer Museum für Moderne Kunst zu sehen, in einer großen, vom Goethe-Institut zum Deutschlandjahr in Russland initiierten Ausstellung.
