This book, which accompanies a major exhibition at Tate Britain, explores how art and architecture was used by the Crown, the Church and the aristocracy to project images of might and status in an age when the power of the monarchy was being questioned. Including an array of work by leading painters of the day – such as Peter Lely, Godfrey Kneller and James Thornhill – this book celebrates ambitious grand-scale portraits, the persuasive illusion of mural painting, the brilliant woodcarving of Grinling Gibbons, and magnificent architecture by Christopher Wren, Nicholas Hawksmoor and John Vanbrugh for St Paul’s Cathedral, Hampton Court and Blenheim Palace – the great buildings of the age.

Beardsley’s sinuous black-and-white drawings and his own complex persona became synonymous with decadence: he alighted on the perverse and erotic aspects of life and legend, shocking audiences with his bizarre sense of humour and fascination with the grotesque. A range of short essays on key aspects of his remarkably influential career reveal that while he was very much of his time, his distinct style has always resonated with subsequent generations. 200 colour illustrations 298 × 196 mm STEPHEN CALLOWAY is an art historian, curator and 192 pp Beardsley scholar.

Nonetheless 9 Jun – 13 Sept 2020 his output was prolific and his subversive illustrations became synonymous with decadence. His work was deemed too scandalous by many of the period, but found a suitably unseemly home with the notorious publisher Leonard Charles Smithers. This little book is as much a historic document as it is a beautiful introduction to Beardsley’s art, containing fifty of his best-known works, including: ‘The Peacock Skirt’ and ‘The Dancer’s Reward’ from Wilde’s Salome (1893), and ‘La Dame aux Camélias’ illustrating Alexandre Dumas’s tragic story of a courtesan who sacrificed herself for her lover in The Yellow Book, the famous literary quarterly dedicated to all things decadent and aesthetic.

  • Hans Ulrich Obrist a Brief History of Curating
    Hans Ulrich Obrist A Brief History of Curating JRP | RINGIER & LES PRESSES DU REEL 2 To the memory of Anne d’Harnoncourt, Walter Hopps, Pontus Hultén, Jean Leering, Franz Meyer, and Harald Szeemann 3 Christophe Cherix When Hans Ulrich Obrist asked the former director of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Anne d’Harnoncourt, what advice she would give to a young curator entering the world of today’s more popular but less experimental museums, in her response she recalled with admiration Gilbert & George’s famous ode to art: “I think my advice would probably not change very much; it is to look and look and look, and then to look again, because nothing replaces looking … I am not being in Duchamp’s words ‘only retinal,’ I don’t mean that. I mean to be with art—I always thought that was a wonderful phrase of Gilbert & George’s, ‘to be with art is all we ask.’” How can one be fully with art? In other words, can art be experienced directly in a society that has produced so much discourse and built so many structures to guide the spectator? Gilbert & George’s answer is to consider art as a deity: “Oh Art where did you come from, who mothered such a strange being. For what kind of people are you: are you for the feeble-of-mind, are you for the poor-at-heart, art for those with no soul. Are you a branch of nature’s fantastic network or are you an invention of some ambitious man? Do you come from a long line of arts? For every artist is born in the usual way and we have never seen a young artist.

  • Sarah Lucas (B.1962) Self-Portraits 1990–98
    Sarah Lucas (b.1962) Self-Portraits 1990–98 Key Facts: • Medium: Iris print • Size: 12 prints, dimensions variable (height: 78–98 cm; width: 72–90 cm) • Collection: British Council Collection 1. ART HISTORICAL TERMS AND CONCEPTS Visual analysis: The series comprises a mixture of black-and-white, colour and collaged photographs. The artist is the subject of each image, though her appearance varies greatly. Art History in Schools CIO | Registered Charity No. 1164651 | www.arthistoryinschools.org.uk In the majority, we see Lucas’ face looking out as us from behind a dark curtain of hair. Provocative or arresting, she challenges us to return her gaze. In other photographs, she is engaged in an activity, smoking and/or on top of, or sandwiched between, a toilet. Neither type presents her in a light we might expect from a female artist; rather, her unflinching gaze and androgynous appearance suggest that gender is something fluid and up for question. One photograph stands apart from others in the series: entitled Summer (1998), it depicts liquid being thrown at Lucas’ face. The fluid distorts Lucas’ features and causes her to look away from the lens. In many of the photographs, additional objects add humour and interest: a skull, fried eggs, knickers, a large fish, a mug of tea, a banana. Together with Lucas’ candid postures, sexual puns are made more apparent and the objects themselves become symbolic. Lucas’ legs spread wide and ending in heavy-duty boots are often photographed from below, with this view enhancing our impression of them as strong and dominant. The photographs are both a retort to the laddish culture of 1990s Britain and a reflection of the growth of the ‘ladette’.

As the past years are reviewed, new perspectives are proposed as basis for the muse- um’s future collection and exhibition activities. The collection exhibition Enjoy sets out to convey the intertwining of past and present as a living process of continual reassessment and revaluation that reflects ever-chan- ging socio-political, socio-cultural, and philosophical developments and discourses. The main themes cut across time and media: the depiction of life in society, the human body, and nature, as well as migration and the drawing of boundaries. Field of Reference: Classical Modernism The exhibition reviews mumok’s historical holdings from the vantage point of con- temporary artists who are reactivating modernist formal vocabulary in their work, revealing the contradictions as well as the unfulfilled potential of the utopian project Corita Kent (Sister Corita) of modernism. The show opens with a look at how Western modernism has drawn the sea queen, 1973 mumok – Museum moderner Kunst its lifeblood from other cultures.
