  • The Letters of Vincent Van Gogh
    THE LETTERS OF VINCENT VAN GOGH ‘Van Gogh’s letters… are one of the greatest joys of modern literature, not only for the inherent beauty of the prose and the sharpness of the observations but also for their portrait of the artist as a man wholly and selessly devoted to the work he had to set himself to’ - Washington Post ‘Fascinating… letter after letter sizzles with colorful, exacting descriptions … This absorbing collection elaborates yet another side of this beuiling and brilliant artist’ - The New York Times Book Review ‘Ronald de Leeuw’s magnicent achievement here is to make the letters accessible in English to general readers rather than art historians, in a new translation so excellent I found myself reading even the well-known letters as if for the rst time… It will be surprising if a more impressive volume of letters appears this year’ — Observer ‘Any selection of Van Gogh’s letters is bound to be full of marvellous things, and this is no exception’ — Sunday Telegraph ‘With this new translation of Van Gogh’s letters, his literary brilliance and his statement of what amounts to prophetic art theories will remain as a force in literary and art history’ — Philadelphia Inquirer ‘De Leeuw’s collection is likely to remain the denitive volume for many years, both for the excellent selection and for the accurate translation’ - The Times Literary Supplement ‘Vincent’s letters are a journal, a meditative autobiography… You are able to take in Vincent’s extraordinary literary qualities … Unputdownable’ - Daily Telegraph ABOUT THE AUTHOR, EDITOR AND TRANSLATOR VINCENT WILLEM VAN GOGH was born in Holland in 1853.

  • Post Magazine April 2017
    Galerie Max Hetzler Berlin | Paris | London Post Magazine McHugh, Fionnuala: Swiss artist Urs Fischer: is he serious? 23 April 2017 ` Urs Fischer, with Foamcore (2017), at the Gagosian Gallery, in Central.(/) Swiss artist Urs Fischer: is he serious? The weird and questionably wonderful work of the New York-based artist, who was in Hong Kong for his first solo exhibition in Asia, raises an obvious question: is he for real? BY FIONNUALA MCHUGH 23 APR 2017 In 2004, Swiss artist Urs Fischer created an alpine chalet made out of bread (sourdough, to be exact). It was life-size and, in succeeding years, as it did MO THI the artistic rounds, it took on a life of its own. Oriental rugs appeared; so did parakeets that hadn’t yet learned to fly and pecked at their crumby surroundings. After a while, the original sweet-smelling edifice became less fragrant as its structure, sourly, rotted. In 2007, Fischer had an exhibition at Gavin Brown’s Enterprise, in New York. The gallery floor was dug up, leaving a crater that measured roughly 11 Bac metres by nine metres and was two-and-a-half metres deep. Visitors could walk around it on a narrow ledge but there was a thrillingly stern warning Kon at the entrance: THE INSTALLATION IS PHYSICALLY DANGEROUS AND INHERENTLY INVOLVES THE RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. The work was Gat who called You. /m mag rea By 2012, Fischer was showing at the Palazzo Grassi, in Venice, Italy. The 18th-century palace is owned by French businessman François Pinault, whose company is the major shareholder of Christie’s auction house and who has one of the world’s largest collections of contemporary art.

    Van Gogh Museum Journal 1995 bron Van Gogh Museum Journal 1995. Waanders, Zwolle 1995 Zie voor verantwoording: http://www.dbnl.org/tekst/_van012199501_01/colofon.php © 2012 dbnl / Rijksmuseum Vincent Van Gogh 6 Director's Foreword The Van Gogh Museum shortly after its opening in 1973 For those of us who experienced the foundation of the Van Gogh Museum at first hand, it may come as a shock to discover that over 20 years have passed since Her Majesty Queen Juliana officially opened the Museum on 2 June 1973. For a younger generation, it is perhaps surprising to discover that the institution is in fact so young. Indeed, it is remarkable that in such a short period of time the Museum has been able to create its own specific niche in both the Dutch and international art worlds. This first issue of the Van Gogh Museum Journal marks the passage of the Rijksmuseum (National Museum) Vincent van Gogh to its new status as Stichting Van Gogh Museum (Foundation Van Gogh Museum). The publication is designed to both report on the Museum's activities and, more particularly, to be a motor and repository for the scholarship on the work of Van Gogh and aspects of the permanent collection in broader context. Besides articles on individual works or groups of objects from both the Van Gogh Museum's collection and the collection of the Museum Mesdag, the Journal will publish the acquisitions of the previous year. Scholars not only from the Museum but from all over the world are and will be invited to submit their contributions.

The authors do a remarkable job of presenting Van Gogh's complex personality described by his brother as "gifted, delicate, and tender" and "cruel and hard-hearted" ; his periods of manic energy; and the ear incident, in a straightforward, even understated way, showing that he was not "crazy," but rather suffered from epilepsy. It was Gauguin who could not tolerate the way Gogh's living style and felt threatened by Gogh's unstable psychological state and left him. How easy was it to just give up understanding Vincent, and rationalising that perhaps his eccentricities, whatever and however they are, may just be appreciated now that he has passed? The technology to take an exact image of a person in turn created a style of painting determined to capture more than what the eye could see.

  • Urs Fischer – False Friends MUSÉE D’ART ET D’HISTOIRE, GENEVA
    Urs Fischer – False Friends MUSÉE D’ART ET D’HISTOIRE, GENEVA APRIL 28 – JULY 17, 2016 PRESS RELEASE A selection of the Dakis Joannou Collection in Geneva for the first time March 2016 - Beginning on April 28, 2016, the Museum of Art and History of Geneva welcomes the DESTE Foundation, introducing the exhibition Urs Fischer – False Friends, in collaboration with of ART for The World. Urs Fischer – False Friends brings together a selection of works from the Dakis Joannou Collection. Conceived as an unusual synthesis between a solo show and a group exhibition, False Friends pairs works by a range of highly recognized artists with an ensemble of 20 works by Swiss artist Urs Fischer (b. 1973). In False Friends, Urs Fischer's work is seen alongside sculptures and paintings by artists such as Pawel Althamer, Maurizio Cattelan, Fischli and Weiss, Robert Gober, Martin Kippenberger, Jeff Koons, Paul McCarthy, Cindy Sherman and Kiki Smith, all of whom engage with fundamental themes in the history of art – the representation of the human body, the transformative power of materials, and the virtues of subtle observations. Establishing unexpected connections between artworks and aesthetics, methods and materials, False Friends traces similarities and differences among a group of artists whose work has animated and sustained critical debates in contemporary art throughout the past thirty years. The work of Urs Fischer, one of the most innovative Swiss artists of his generation, is central to False Friends. Fischer celebrates metamorphosis and change through works that reveal a particular attention to process and time. Coupling the legacy of Pop art with a neo-baroque taste for the absurd, Fischer’s creative universe trembles under the forces of entropy, decay and failure.

    Modus Operandi Curating art for public places PRESS RELEASE New Art Commission for One New Burlington Place, London, W1S 2HP So our rivers flow, Keith Tyson, 2014 -16 Commissioner: The Crown Estate and Exemplar Curator: Modus Operandi Fabrication: Blue Pearl Photographic; Glass Designs The Crown Estate, Exemplar and Modus Operandi are delighted to announce the completion of ‘So our rivers flow’, a major new artwork by former Turner Prize winner Keith Tyson for One New Burlington Place, London W1. One New Burlington Place, located to the west side of Regent Street, is a premium office development by The Crown Estate and Exemplar. The building is designed by Stirling Prize winning architects Alford Hall Monaghan Morris (AHMM). Conceived to form the exterior glazing to the main elevation of the building, ‘So our rivers flow’ takes London, and its ever-changing dynamic built around the River Thames, as its inspiration. The artwork was developed from a series of ‘nature paintings’ in which poured paint, aluminum surface, gravity and chemical reaction combined to create various flowing complex forms and patterns. Reminiscent of satellite photography or cellular microscopy, the images were then translated into a sequence of high-resolution digital prints, each bonded and sealed within twelve backlit glass panels. Located within the outer architectural framework, the individual panes read as one large horizontal image, inviting the viewer to follow the meandering path of the Thames from east to west and the city’s architectural evolution over the past millennium. A close inspection identifies the very location of One Burlington Place, within the artwork.

    Rebecca Warren 57 rue du Temple, 75004 Paris 26 May – 21 July 2018 Opening: 26 May 2018, 6 – 9pm Galerie Max Hetzler is pleased to announce Rebecca Warren's frst show in the Paris gallery. The artist describes the works in this show as falling into three broad categories: a set of small, slender, painted sculptures, homuncili-like, in various standing or dancing postures, some of which display her continuing interest in twins or doubled forms; a 1.5 metres high bronze sculpture, warrior-like, fag- or shield-bearing, incorporating strange strutting or buttressing; and some wall-mounted assemblages of varying sizes, simultaneously eerie and cute, using neon, pompoms and a range of fragments and ephemera. We R the Batique, 2018, hand-painted bronze Recurring throughout these works are rudimentary glyphs, shapes, sometimes painted or made of neon, suggestive of a proto-language, an urge towards articulation - or alternatively of an opaque alien language. In other instances, paint is applied to suggest fesh or clothing or, at the far end of the scale, surface shimmer. Rebecca Warren (1965, London) lives and works in London. Having studied at Goldsmith's and Chelsea College, she came to prominence with solo and group shows at major venues. She was nominated for the Turner Prize, London in 2006 and for the Vincent Award, Amsterdam in 2008. Recent exhibitions in museums and institutions include Kunstverein Reutlingen, Reutlingen (2018); Le Consortium, Dijon (2018); Tate St. Ives, St. Ives (2017) ; Fondation Vincent Van Gogh, Arles (2017); Dallas
