The Pennsylvania State University Schreyer Honors College
THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY SCHREYER HONORS COLLEGE DEPARTMENT OF ART HISTORY WOLFGANG TILLMANS: WORLD-MAKING YIZHOU ZHANG SPRING 2020 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a baccalaureate degree in Art History with honors in Art History Reviewed and approved* by the following: Sarah K. 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.............................................................................................................................. -
A Southern California Visionary with Northern Michigan Sensibilities
John Lautner By Melissa Matuscak A SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA VISIONARY WITH NORTHERN MICHIGAN SENSIBILITIES 32 | MICHIGAN HISTORY Architect John Lautner would have turned 100 years old on July 16, 2011. Two museums in his hometown of Marquette recently celebrated this milestone with concurrent exhibits. The DeVos Art Museum at Northern Michigan University focused on a professional career that spanned over 50 years and the Marquette Regional History Center told the story of the Lautner family. Combined, they demonstrated how in!uential his family and his U.P. upbringing were to Lautner’s abilities and his eye for design. nyone who has lived in the Upper Peninsula tends to develop a deeper awareness of nature, if only to anticipate the constantly changing weather. !e natural landscapes, and especially Lake Superior, are integral to the way of life in the region in both work and leisure. John Lautner’s idyllic childhood in Marquette stirred what By Melissa Matuscak would become an ongoing quest to create unity between nature and architecture. !e story of what made John Lautner a visionary architect begins with his parents. His father, John Lautner Sr., was born in 1865 near Traverse City, the son of German immigrants. !ough he began school late—at age 15—by age 32 John Sr. had received bachelor’s and master’s degrees in German literature from the University of Michigan. His studies took him to the East Coast and to Europe, but he eventually returned to Michigan to accept a position at Northern State Normal School (now Northern Michigan University) in Marquette in 1903. -
The Greatest Artists of the Twentieth Century
This PDF is a selection from a published volume from the National Bureau of Economic Research Volume Title: Conceptual Revolutions in Twentieth-Century Art Volume Author/Editor: David W. Galenson Volume Publisher: Cambridge University Press Volume ISBN: 978-0-521-11232-1 Volume URL: http://www.nber.org/books/gale08-1 Publication Date: October 2009 Title: The Greatest Artists of the Twentieth Century Author: David W. Galenson URL: http://www.nber.org/chapters/c5785 Chapter 2: The Greatest Artists of the Twentieth Century Introduction The masters, truth to tell, are judged as much by their influence as by their works. Emile Zola, 18841 Important artists are innovators: they are important because they change the way their successors work. The more widespread, and the more profound, the changes due to the work of any artist, the greater is the importance of that artist. Recognizing the source of artistic importance points to a method of measuring it. Surveys of art history are narratives of the contributions of individual artists. These narratives describe and explain the changes that have occurred over time in artists’ practices. It follows that the importance of an artist can be measured by the attention devoted to his work in these narratives. The most important artists, whose contributions fundamentally change the course of their discipline, cannot be omitted from any such narrative, and their innovations must be analyzed at length; less important artists can either be included or excluded, depending on the length of the specific narrative treatment and the tastes of the author, and if they are included their contributions can be treated more summarily. -

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. -
TASCHEN Publishing House Bundles Logistics at Arvato
TASCHEN Publishing House implements new logistics concept together with VVA TASCHEN Publishing House bundles logistics at Sonja Groß Arvato Head of Marketing & Communications Arvato Supply Chain Solutions August 12, 2020 Phone: +49 5241 80-41897 Gütersloh - VVA has won TASCHEN Verlag as a new customer at its [email protected] Gütersloh location. The publishing house is combining the move to the Arvato subsidiary, which began on July 1, 2020, with a reorganization of its international logistics concept. TASCHEN and the VVA are jointly optimizing the international supply chain. The core of the new concept is centralization at a European central warehouse at the Gütersloh location, which will gradually replace the regional warehouses existing in several countries. In the future, all customers in the European markets will be served directly from there. In addition, the publishing house's international sales partners will be linked to the European central warehouse. Until further notice, „KNV Zeitfracht“ will continue to supply the German-speaking book market. "I am very pleased that TASCHEN Publishing House has chosen us for this demanding project," says Stephan Schierke, President VVA. "Outside the usual VVA industry solution, we have worked with TASCHEN to develop tailor-made logistics for the world market. Arvato's cross-industry know-how will be of benefit to us in overcoming the special challenges in terms of logistics and IT". "The new solution will reduce our complexity, lower costs through synergy and economies of scale, and improve our service," said TASCHEN-COO Hans-Peter Kübler. "The prerequisite for such a challenging project is a strong and reliable partner, which we have found in the VVA. -

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. -
