For the first time in Spain, one will be able to see a selection of works that represent the minimalist tendencies of the 1960s and ‘70s in the context of their historical roots as well as in contemporary interpretations of these diverse movements. Since 2000, selections of these works have been shown to an international public in a series of traveling exhibitions under the title Minimalism and After, following the manner in which the Daimler Collection has been presenting its works, particularly its new acquisitions, at its galleries in Stuttgart. In our ongoing work with the collection, Minimalism and After signifies much more than the title of an exhibition series. It also describes the extensive purview of this corporate collection, which is based on historical abstract avant-garde movements and follows their legacy in contemporary art. The catalogue, Minimalism and After (Renate Wiehager. Minimalism and After. Tradition und Tendenzen minimalistischer Kunst von 1950 bis heute / Tradition and Tendencies of Minimalism from 1950 to the Present [Ostfildern-Ruit: Hatje & Cantz, 2006]), published in 2006, documents this main focus of the collection in even greater detail. Thus, the focus of the collection as well as the concept of its presentation directly influence one another, and in recent years have significantly shaped the collection.

  • Bauhaus 1 Bauhaus
    Bauhaus 1 Bauhaus Staatliches Bauhaus, commonly known simply as Bauhaus, was a school in Germany that combined crafts and the fine arts, and was famous for the approach to design that it publicized and taught. It operated from 1919 to 1933. At that time the German term Bauhaus, literally "house of construction" stood for "School of Building". The Bauhaus school was founded by Walter Gropius in Weimar. In spite of its name, and the fact that its founder was an architect, the Bauhaus did not have an architecture department during the first years of its existence. Nonetheless it was founded with the idea of creating a The Bauhaus Dessau 'total' work of art in which all arts, including architecture would eventually be brought together. The Bauhaus style became one of the most influential currents in Modernist architecture and modern design.[1] The Bauhaus had a profound influence upon subsequent developments in art, architecture, graphic design, interior design, industrial design, and typography. The school existed in three German cities (Weimar from 1919 to 1925, Dessau from 1925 to 1932 and Berlin from 1932 to 1933), under three different architect-directors: Walter Gropius from 1919 to 1928, 1921/2, Walter Gropius's Expressionist Hannes Meyer from 1928 to 1930 and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe Monument to the March Dead from 1930 until 1933, when the school was closed by its own leadership under pressure from the Nazi regime. The changes of venue and leadership resulted in a constant shifting of focus, technique, instructors, and politics. For instance: the pottery shop was discontinued when the school moved from Weimar to Dessau, even though it had been an important revenue source; when Mies van der Rohe took over the school in 1930, he transformed it into a private school, and would not allow any supporters of Hannes Meyer to attend it.

  • The Marli Hoppe-Ritter Collection Homage to The
    The Marli Hoppe-Ritter Collection Homage to the Square – the title of Josef Albers’s celebrated series of paintings – could be taken to describe the Marli Hoppe-Ritter Collection. Marli Hoppe-Ritter, founder of MUSEUM RITTER and co-owner of the RITTER SPORT company, has collected art based on the square ever since the early 1990s. By now, over 1,200 works exemplifying 20th and 21st century geometric abstraction have been amassed to build collection with a unique profile. What at first glance looks like a successful marketing coup for the famous square chocolate bar proves to have a stringent art history concept: the history and development of constructive-concrete art from its beginnings to the present, as exemplified by the geometrical figure. At the dawn of the 20th century, the square was made famous as a subject for art by the Russian Suprematist Kazimir Malevich, who saw it as a symbol of a creative new beginning beyond materiality and fixed purpose. A small Malevich drawing from 1915 forms a cornerstone as it were of the Marli Hoppe-Ritter Collection, which has been followed by further works of early Modernism, including the Constructivists Alexander Rodchenko and El Lissitzky, the De Stijl artist Theo van Doesburg, and the Bauhaus protagonists Andor Weininger and Josef Albers. Other approaches have been brought together that also focus on the square: the works of the Zurich Concretists Max Bill, Camille Graeser, Verena Loewensberg and Richard Paul Lohse, whose legacy has been taken up by the Italian Arte Programmata with Grazia Varisco and Alberto Biasi, Op Art by Victor Vasarely and the ZERO group with Heinz Mack and Günther Uecker, accompanied by further variations by among others Rita Ernst, Hans Jörg Glattfelder, Dóra Maurer, Vera Molnár, and Esther Stocker.

  • Oli Sihvonen Ellipse Paintings from the 1960'S
    JAMES KELLY CONTEMPORARY - PRESS RELEASE 1601 Paseo de Peralta - Santa Fe, NM 87501 - 505.989.1601 Oli Sihvonen Ellipse Paintings from the 1960's Opening Reception: Friday, October 19, 2007, 5:00-7:00 pm Exhibition Dates: October 19 - December 8, 2007 Contact: Hannah Hughes: [email protected] Oli Sihvonen. Triad on Blue, 1965. Oil on canvas. 72 x 84 inches James Kelly Contemporary is pleased to present an exhibition of Oli Sihvonen's ellipse paintings from the 1960's. The sheer visual power, subtlety and elegance of his work stake a claim for his place in the history of twentieth century painting. His work is a variety of hard-edge painting, indebted to Albers and Mondrian on the one hand, but also to Matisse. As critic Paul Goodman, wrote in 1956, "Sihvonen's loving attention to the precise millimeter and the precise hue on the spectrum pays off in a floating and exciting calm and emotion; the picture is in motion, the colors leave their forms and come back changed. The canvas seems to generate its own light, not otherwise than in a bright noonday sun or in mysterious moonlight; there is a fullness of light." Sihvonen expanded upon a few motifs over long periods of time. This exhibition will focus on the ellipses. Within self-imposed formal limits, Sihvonen was able to invent complex variations embodying his "notions of multi-temporality: flow, rhythm, beat, [and] growth" in a static painting. Oli Sihvonen was born in 1921 in Brooklyn and grew up in Connecticut. He attended Black Mountain College where he was deeply influenced by the teaching of Josef Albers and his friendships with Buckminster Fuller, John Cage, and others.

    JAMES KELLY CONTEMPORARY - PRESS RELEASE 550 S. Guadalupe St. - Santa Fe, NM 87501 - 505.989.1601 Oli Sihvonen Energy Fields, Life as a Painter Selections from His Career Opening Reception: Friday, February 10, 2012, 5:00-7:00 pm Exhibition Dates: February 10 – March 24, 2012 Contact: James Kelly: [email protected] Oli Sihvonen, “Ladder”, 1984, oil on canvas, 68 x 72 inches James Kelly Contemporary is pleased to present an exhibition of paintings by Oli Sihvonen (1921-1991). This exhibition will be the second presented by the Gallery, the first being a 2007 show of “Ellipse Paintings from the 1960s.” Oli Sihvonen was born in 1921 in Brooklyn, NY of Finnish ancestry. He attended classes at the Art Students League, New York, from 1938 to 1941, before serving in the U.S. Army in WWII. Upon his return to the U.S. after the war, Sihvonen entered the important Black Mountain College in North Carolina, where he met and became lifelong friends with people such as architect Buckminster Fuller, composer John Cage, dancer/choreographer Merce Cunningham and poet Robert Creeley. At Black Mountain College, Sihvonen studied with Josef Albers, former instructor at the Bauhaus, whose color theories had a lifelong influence on the artist’s work. In the late 1950s, Sihvonen moved to Taos, New Mexico, and became an influential member of the group of painters known as the Taos Moderns. He remained in Taos for more than a decade, after which he returned to New York where he lived and worked until his death in 1991. Sihvonen’s work is a kind of Hard-Edge painting, indebted to Albers and Piet Mondrian on the one hand, but also to Pierre Matisse.

  • Painting and Sculpture from Classical Modernism to the Present Day
    Opening Exhibition 23 May 2015 – 9 October 2016 Painting and Sculpture From Classical Modernism to the Present Day KUNSTMUSEUM LIECHTENSTEIN Dear Visitors, The Hilti Art Foundation annexe rings in a new era in the fifteenth year of Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein. The new exhibition building of the Hilti Art Foundation opens its doors to public on 23 May 2015. For Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein this means a substantial and lasting consolidation of the previous collaboration that has been in place with the Hilti Art Foundation since its foundation in 2000. Our thanks are due in particular to Michael Hilti, one of the key figures responsible for initiating Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein. A visible symbol of this bond is reflected in the design of the new building by the Basel-based architects Morger + Dettli, who designed the upright white cube as a counterpart to the horizontal black cube of the Kunstmuseum. The accord that exists between the two buildings both inside and out lends form to the sense of both togetherness and independence. Loans in special exhibitions, but particularly the large exhibition of the Hilti Art Foundation in 2005, gave visitors an impressive first glimpse of this private art collection comprising works from the late 19th century to the present. We very much look forward to the future permanent presence of this extra ordinary collection. The emphasis of the Hilti Art Foundation collection is the ideal complement to the state collection of Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein. A long-standing wish has thus been realised, that is, to showcase to the public threads of development in the history of art from the pioneers of modernism to our present day.

  • Jan Henderikse to Infinity
    press release JAN HENDERIKSE TO INFINITY Galerie Schoots + Van Duyse, Antwerp, and Kunstzolder.be, Lembeke Curator: Antoon Melissen JAN HENDERIKSE TO INFINITY Summary From 28 June to 27 September, Galerie Schoots + Van Duyse in 100 words and Kunstzolder.be are staging an exhibition in Antwerp by Dutch artist Jan Henderikse (Delft, 1937), curated by independent publicist-curator Antoon Melissen. Henderikse, co-founder of the Dutch Nul Group in 1961, already moved to Dusseldorf in 1959, at that time the cradle of the international ZERO movement. ‘Jan Henderikse - ZERO to Infinity’ features work both from the Nul period and from later, including the most recent work from 2015. Furthermore, several large assemblages made in 1965-1967 from the collection of the artist have never previously been exhibited. JAN HENDERIKSE TO INFINITY Consistent with the increasing interest and revaluation of the international ZERO movement, Galerie Schoots + Van Duyse and Kunstzolder.be are organizing a major presentation by Jan Henderikse in Antwerp. In 1961, Henderikse (together with Armando, Henk Peeters and Jan Schoonhoven), was co-founder of the Dutch Nul Group, the artists’ group that expressly sought contact with the international ZERO movement and its sympathizers. Since 2000, Henderikse has been working both in New York and in his studio in Antwerp and is thus, together with Paul van Hoeydonck, one of the last artists of the ‘ZERO generation’ still active in Belgium. Under the title ‘Jan Henderikse - ZERO to Infinity’, independent publicist-curator Antoon Melissen has compiled an exhibition that contrasts early work from the Nul era with new work. Several large assemblages made in 1965-1967 from the collection of the artist have never previously been shown and are premiered in the exhibition.

  • Mainframe Experimentalism
    MAINFRAME EXPERIMENTALISM Early Computing and the Foundations of the Digital Arts Edited by Hannah B Higgins and Douglas Kahn Q3 UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA PRESS Berkeley Los Angeles London 4 INFORMATION AESTHETICS AND THE STUTTGART SCHOOL Christoph Kllitsch In the mid-1960s, mainframe computer art emerged from an adventurous en­ counter among a new information aesthetic, political ideologies, and technical possibilities. In Stuttgart, new computer technology invited speculation about the nature of art, beauty, and mechanical production. Here a new generation of artist-scientists believed the computer would enable them to break with the speculative and subjective approach to making and evaluating art. The main­ frame Denkmaschirzen1 (thinking machines) offered users the limited computing capacities of the time, forcing the computer artist to program carefully, to use the resources as economically as possible, and, through an extreme economy of means, to break down visual problems into small, elegantly designed pieces. Through an analysis of the early work of a few members of the Stuttgart school, the artistic range of early mainframe computer art, as well as its rigorous theoretical basis, will be discussed. The chronological beginning of the Stuttgart school falls somewhere between December 1964, when an article titled "Statistische Graphik" (Statistical graphic) by Georg Nees appeared in the journal Grundlagenstudien aus Kybernetik und Geisteswissenschaft (GrKG; Fundamentals in cybernetics and humanities), and February 5, 1965, when the
