  • 1938. BIRTHDAY PARTY with GUESTS CELEBRATES a PIVOTAL YEAR for PHOTOGRAPHY by Sophie Wright, March 15, 2018
    1938. BIRTHDAY PARTY WITH GUESTS CELEBRATES A PIVOTAL YEAR FOR PHOTOGRAPHY By Sophie Wright, March 15, 2018 The Sprengel Museum in Hanover celebrates the year in which Boris Mikhailov, Josef Koudelka, Daido Moriyama, Helga Paris, Johan van der Keuken, and Heinrich Riebesehl were born with a thought-provoking group show open until 03 June In terms of history and photography, 1938 was a significant year. With Germany’s annexation of Austria, the Munich Agreement, the November Pogrom and the Évian Conference, which addressed the international response to the refugee crisis, it was a decisive point in time, with repercussions that would shape generations to come. It was also the year that six iconic photographers, who would document this shifting world, were born. This spring, the occasion will be honoured with a special celebration at the Sprengel Museum Hannover, titled 1938. Birthday Party with Guests. Initiated to commemorate the 80th anniversary of German photographer Heinrich Riebesehl, whose archive is housed at the museum, the exhibition evolved into a wider historical survey that sketches an international perspective on the second half of the 20th century. Joining Riebesehl are Johan van der Keuken, Josef Koudelka, Boris Mikhailov, Daido Moriyama and Helga Paris. For curator Inka Schube, this wave of artists born in 1938 represents a very particular generation: those who experienced the Second World War as children, too young to remember much more than playing in its rubble but growing up in the world it created. Organised in chronological order, 1938. Birthday Party with Guests proposes a walk through history that is in direct dialogue with the present, courtesy of some younger guests.

Der konkrete Fall der aufgefundenen und noch weiter zu erforschenden Werke wird dabei zum Anlass genommen, die NS-Kunstpolitik und das System des NS-Kunstraubs beispielhaft zu behandeln. Das Kunstmuseum Bern und die Bundeskunsthalle in Bonn haben dabei eng zusammengearbeitet. Hier in Bern wird das Kapitel «Entartete Kunst» dargestellt und in einem grösseren Zusammenhang erläutert, der auch die Geschehnisse in der Schweiz mit in den Blick nimmt. Besonderes Augenmerk liegt auf den Schicksalen der von Feme und Verfolgung betroffenen Künstlerinnen und Künstler, sowie der Biographie von Hildebrand Gurlitt in all ihren Widersprüchen. In der «Werkstatt Provenienzforschung» können Sie an Beispielen selbst die Methoden und Herausforderungen der Provenienzforschung nach- vollziehen. Was ist der «Kunstfund Gurlitt»? Der «Kunstfund Gurlitt» umfasst Kunstwerke aus dem Besitz Cornelius Gurlitts (1932–2014), Sohn des deutschen Kunsthändlers Hildebrand Gurlitt (1895–1956). Der Grossteil der Werke wurde 2012 in der Münchner Wohnung von Cornelius Gurlitt infolge eines Steuerermittlungsver- fahrens beschlagnahmt. Durch einen Bericht des Nachrichtenmagazins «Focus» am 3. November 2013 erfuhr die Öffentlichkeit von der Existenz des Bestandes.

  • Northern Gothic: Werner Haftmann's German
    documenta studies #11 December 2020 NANNE BUURMAN Northern Gothic: Werner Haftmann’s German Lessons, or A Ghost (Hi)Story of Abstraction This essay by the documenta and exhibition scholar Nanne Buurman I See documenta: Curating the History of the Present, ed. by Nanne Buurman and Dorothee Richter, special traces the discursive tropes of nationalist art history in narratives on issue, OnCurating, no. 13 (June 2017). German pre- and postwar modernism. In Buurman’s “Ghost (Hi)Story of Abstraction” we encounter specters from the past who swept their connections to Nazism under the rug after 1945, but could not get rid of them. She shows how they haunt art history, theory, the German feuilleton, and even the critical German postwar literature. The editor of documenta studies, which we founded together with Carina Herring and Ina Wudtke in 2018, follows these ghosts from the history of German art and probes historical continuities across the decades flanking World War II, which she brings to the fore even where they still remain implicit. Buurman, who also coedited the volume documenta: Curating the History of the Present (2017),I thus uses her own contribution to documenta studies to call attention to the ongoing relevance of these historical issues for our contemporary practices. Let’s consider the Nazi exhibition of so-called Degenerate Art, presented in various German cities between 1937 and 1941, which is often regarded as documenta’s negative foil. To briefly recall the facts: The exhibition brought together more than 650 works by important artists of its time, with the sole aim of stigmatizing them and placing them in the context of the Nazis’ antisemitic racial ideology.

The situation and state of research at the beginning of the project At the beginning of the project an assessment was made which groups of works within the collection are more likely to be linked to the “liquidation” of private and public collections during the Nazi dictatorship in Germany in the years from 1933 to 1945. It was found that there is only very patchy provenance information for the forty-two artworks donated in 2000 to the Kirchner Museum Davos by “Rosemarie and Konrad Baumgart-Möller in memory of Ferdinand Möller, Berlin.” Since “Möller” is one of the red-flag names in provenance research, the investigation of this part of the collection was given priority.

  • Editor's Note
    Editor’s Note Dear readers, Although Bauhaus is relevant throughout history, this German school of art remains an open issue in art, architecture, design, and communication, addressing the following question: To what extent is Bauhaus even possible nowadays? Thus, this was our question for the Art Style Magazine's Bauhaus Special Edition. Therefore, in an attempt to showcase some of the most important issues so our readers can attain a broad notion of this German school's legacy, our Editorial Team has been working diligently and participated in several significant events, talks, round tables, and exhibitions. The opening festival and construction of the Bauhaus Museum in Weimar, for example, offered a great view of the importance of the Bauhaus. Above all, in the sense of arts and crafts in connection with industry, this school outlined a relationship of teaching design from product development, consumption to the changes of living together. Recently, the so-called "Fishfilet scandal" – an attempt to prevent a live event by a German rock band – was an important facet in the discussion that the Bauhaus still plays a significant role in the political scene. As artists and politicians said, the ban on concerts means a "terrifying history" for Bauhaus-Dessau. A month ago, we heard news from a round table, and artistic interventions under the title "How political is the Bauhaus?". These talks had taken place in the Haus der Kulturen der Welt (House of World Cultures) in Berlin on January 19, 2019. It was part of the opening festival of Bauhaus's centenary and supported by the Senate Department for Culture and Europe.

Photo: Esther Freund March , Gagosian is pleased to present Tramonto Spaventoso, an exhibition by Albert Oehlen comprising the second part of his version of the Rothko Chapel in Houston as well as other new paintings. The first part of the project—consisting of four paintings that mirror the imposing scale of the Color Field compositions in the Chapel while opposing Rothko’s contemplativeness with their frenetic energy— was exhibited at the Serpentine Galleries, London, in –. Both parts make up the work Tramonto Spaventoso (–). Oehlen uses abstract, figurative, and collaged elements to disrupt the histories and conventions of modern painting. By adding improvised components, he unearths ever-new possibilities for the genre. While championing self-consciously amateurish “bad” painting, Oehlen continues to infuse expressive gesture with Surrealist attitude, openly disparaging the quest for reliable form and stable meaning. In the large-scale canvases on view at the Beverly Hills gallery, Oehlen employs acrylic, spray paint, charcoal, and patterned fabric to interpret and transform John Graham’s painting Tramonto Spaventoso (Terrifying Sunset, –), a work by the Russian-born American modernist painter that he discovered in the s and has been fascinated with ever since. Using Graham’s puzzle-like painting as a vehicle for repeated interpretation, Oehlen reconfigures elements in diverse and absurdist ways across multiple compositions. The exhibition, which goes by the same title, is therefore in part an homage to the earlier, lesser-known artist. Reworking motifs from Graham’s original, including a mermaid and a man sporting a monocle and a Daliesque handlebar moustache, Oehlen improvises on his source.
