  • Jerusalem As Trauerarbeit on Two Paintings by Anselm Kiefer and Gerhard Richter
    Jerusalem as Trauerarbeit 59 Chapter 3 Jerusalem as Trauerarbeit On Two Paintings by Anselm Kiefer and Gerhard Richter Wouter Weijers In 1986, Anselm Kiefer produced a painting he entitled Jerusalem (Fig. 3.1). It is a large and heavy work measuring approximately thirteen by eighteen feet. When viewed up close, the surface is reminiscent of abstract Matter Painting. Liquid lead was applied, left to solidify and then scraped off again in places, ripping the work’s skin. When the work is viewed from a distance, a high hori- zon with a golden glow shining over its centre appears, which, partly due to the title, could be interpreted as a reference to a heavenly Jerusalem. Two metal skis are attached to the surface, which, as Fremdkörper, do not enter into any kind of structural or visual relationship with the painting Eleven years later, Gerhard Richter painted a much smaller work that, although it was also given the title Jerusalem, was of a very different order (Fig. 3.2). The painting shows us a view of a sun-lit city. But again Jerusalem is hardly recognizable because Richter has let the city dissolve in a hazy atmo- sphere, which is, in effect, the result of a painting technique using a fine, dry brush in paint that has not yet completely dried. It is the title that identifies the city. Insiders might be able to recognize the western wall of the old city in the lit-up strip just below the horizon, but otherwise all of the buildings have dis- appeared in the haze.

The research asks what is the interstitial space between image and text? It is this junction, potent in contemporary practice, that I argue underpins my artistic research. This is both an artistic and scholarly investigation, and it engages with my search for the origin of (cultural) memory as manifested in works from a range of media: architecture, installation, scenography, drawing, and time-based media. The study is distinctive in its exploration of a contemporary global trajectory as it traces geographic, psychological and cultural landscapes as it revisits central works created in Europe, Australia, Asia and New Zealand since 1992.

  • Read Complete Essay
    GERMAN ART NOW HAVE AN EXPIRATION DATE In art as in love, instinct is enough. by Anatole France Gerhard Richter’s “Abstraktes Bild,”(1986) which sold for more than $46 million at Sotheby’s London 2015. 48,000 citizens and 11 former directors of major German museums were seriously disregarded by Germany’s Culture Minister Monika Grütters. Amongst polemic swirls, heated debates and even artist’s threats, the German Bundesrat ratified a new law on Friday 8th July 2016, implementing unprecedented controls over the country’s art market. Based on the new legislation, works of art which are over the age of half a century and priced greater than !150,000 euros will need special permission to become offered outdoors from the EU. Inside the EU, an export permit is required for works over the age of 75 and surpassing the !300,000 euros cost. This law stipulates that, within the situation of the blocked purchase, the dealership can involve a government evaluator who will recommend a suitable cost for that work. The only exception to the rule WWW.ARTEMUNDI.COM 1 comes after having received serious threats from high-caliber artists such as Georg Baselitz and Gerhard Richter of pulling their work from German museums. Thus, the final law allows living artists to opt out of these export license requirements. Just like some of the most terrible ideas, this law had its origins within a good intention. Incipiently, this law was inspired by the UNESCO cultural protection law, concerned by the destruction of cultural heritage sites like Palmyra, and the looting of national museums, selling items around the underground community and filling their coffers using the revenues.1 This new law would diminish the flow of the illegal sale of the antiques, which is thriving because of the barbarity of the Islamic State in the Middle East.

  • Lawrence Weiner
    Lawrence Weiner Essay by Lynne Cooke Since 1967 Lawrence Weiner’s work has been formulated by recourse to language rather than the more conventional idioms of painting or sculpture. In language, Weiner found a medium and tool for representing material relationships in the external world in as objective a manner as possible, one that could eliminate all references to authorial subjectivity—all traces of the art- ist’s hand, his skill, or his taste. “ART IS NOT A METAPHOR UPON THE RELATIONSHIP OF HUMAN BEINGS TO OBJECTS & OBJECTS TO OBJECTS IN RELATION TO HUMAN BEINGS BUT A REPRESENTATION OF AN EMPIRICAL EXISTING FACT,” he argues. “IT DOES NOT TELL THE POTENTIAL & CAPABILITIES OF AN OBJECT (MATERIAL) BUT PRESENTS A REALITY CONCERNING THAT RELATIONSHIP.”1 This often-quoted contention is spelled out in characteristically succinct spare terms: it posits the allusive and hypothetical as the negative of that which is, an objectively observable or verifiable concrete reality. By focusing on generalities rather than specifics, Weiner has been able to constitute these material relationships and conditions as abstractions. And by utilizing, wherever possible, semantic and grammatical symbols such as capitalization, brackets, parentheses, ampersands, and the plus and equal signs, or, more recently, arrows and related graphic devices, he has ar- ticulated his work in unequivocally direct terms. Clear, concise, lapidary, and affectless, such sculpture in the guise of statements is designed, in the artist’s words, to offer “a universal com- mon possibility of availability.”2 Eschewing the literary or poetic, this former philosophy stu- dent concentrates on empirically observable properties, materials, states, conditions, processes, behaviors, and functions of matter.
