JAPANESE POP CULTURE SINCE 1680
Early Japanese popular culture, in the form of the coloured woodcuts of artists
like Hokusai and Kuniyoshi, achieved world fame after Japan's opening. The
pop culture of today, from manga to anime, has also conquered the globe. Now
the sheets and books of woodcuts by the most famous renowned ukiyo-e
artists confront the visual mass media in the comics and cartoons of modern
Japan.
The high-quality Japanese woodcuts and graphic novels from the 17th to the 19th centuries
are products of an urban popular culture in pre-modern Japan, in which clothing, stage stars,
myths, monsters, sexuality and commerce were the governing factors. The publication shows

today focuses on manga and anime. Short texts spotlight the art of the woodcut in the Edo

With their pioneering method using dots, the artists of Pointillism no longer
directed their gaze only towards the imitation of reality. In their paintings
between 1886 and 1930 their dots, colour and light assumed an independent
existence to create masterpieces of unprecedented brightness and colour
diversity.

and Paul Signac, marked the

Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso,

artists made a study of
Pointillism during the 20th

contributed to the way that

allowing us to discover new aspects of the most brilliant era of an empire

FRANZ VON STUCK IN VIENNA
Franz von Stuck’s erotic paintings, especially “Die Sünde” (Sin), were controversial not only because of the choice of subject; his image concept and the
way he presented the Munich Secession set the standard, particularly for
Vienna. The catalogue offers an opportunity to examine von Stuck’s works as
a whole and in relation to each other.
Von Stuck’s influence and his function as a role model in Vienna have hitherto only been
considered en passant. This is surprising as he had his first extensive solo exhibition in the

In 1965/66 Georg Baselitz created the monumental series “The Heroes” and
“New Types”, which he presented in wild colour and with defiant style. By
turning his attention towards the tradition of representational painting, his work
formed a striking contrast to the trends towards abstraction and Expressionism
prevailing during the 1960s, thereby embarking on his own unique path.
With his sceptical basic attitude towards post-war Germany, Baselitz (* 1938) emphasised

in his works the ambivalent aspects of the present in which he lived. His “Heroes” appear

deeply engraved as their resignation. The contrast to the success story of Western Germany’s

THE GOLDEN RATIO AS A THEORY OF EVERYTHING?
Does a mystic, divine formula lie behind everything that is beautiful? For
centuries the golden mean has been a subject of endless fascination. The ratio
of the proportion can be seen in Nature; it runs through artistic design processes and it affects our perception of our surroundings. But how much of this
apparent “world formula” is true, and how much of it is myth?
The history of the golden mean begins with Euclid in the 3rd century BC. But it was only in
the 19th century that it was raised to the universal constant of beauty. From this point
onwards the “golden section” was described in flora and fauna; the famous Fibonacci
number. It determines the growth of the pineapple; and Le Corbusier optimised architec-

ture by means of the Modulor. But does this art-historical phenomenon really play a
universal role in the organisation of our world? Authors from all fields analyse the Golden
Mean with regard to function, demonstrability and relevance, also by means of current
examples from art and design as well as in comparison with the DIN and the tatami
measurement.

FROM BACKYARDS TO WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP
Boxing is the top popular sport in Cuba and part of its cultural identity. The
martial arts, often represented as warlike in form, acquire here an unexpected
elegance, speed and technical perfection. This publication reflects the Cuban
love of sport, from youth work in the back yards of Havana to the preparations
for the Olympic Games. At the same time it tells the story of this fascinating
world sport.
★
Cuba’s pride in its boxers and its sports tradition remains unbroken. Boxing schools and
national boxing idols happily granted the photographer Katharina Alt access to their training
facilities and private homes in order to record life in and around the sport and the contests.
The photos provide an impressive record of the arduous preparations for a fight and continue
until the boxers are saved by the gong in the final round.The text by author and journalist
Michael Schleicher is divided into twelve rounds and shows how the sport has changed since
Antiquity. Motifs, aesthetics and boxing language occur today in art and culture and are thus
an omnipresent witness to the fact that “Boxing is life itself”, according to Joyce Carol Oates.

THE EXPANDED SUBJECT
NEW PERSPECTIVES IN PHOTOGRAPHIC PORTRAITURE
FROM AFRICA
From 19th-century studio practice through the independence era, African photography has best been known for modes of portraiture that crystallise the sitter’s
identity and social milieu. Even portraits by contemporary artists are often
interpreted as windows into African realities. This exhibition reconsiders African
contemporary photographic portraiture by presenting four practitioners whose
concerns range well beyond questions of social identity. Sammy Baloji, Mohamed
Camara, Saïdou Dicko and George Osodi expand their subjects’ interpretive
possibilities, exemplifying a new creativity and versatility in portrait-making.
While each artist employs different strategies, they all challenge the assumption that
photographic portraits serve as mirrors of the “self”. Baloji’s montages dislocate the
subject historically; Camara probes the boundaries of the portrait genre; Dicko expresses
uncertainty at the possibility of representation; and Osodi engages his subjects as plat-

new insights into the expressive and conceptual range of African photo-portraiture today.

THE WEST TIBETAN MASTERPIECES
During the 10th century Buddhism blossomed in the far west of Tibet into
unexpected magnificence and greatness. In breathtaking views of temple
complexes that are no longer accessible to Western cameras, this volume
shows for the first time anywhere in the world the masterly relics of that
incomparable era that have survived to the present day, from both the Indian
and the Tibetan side of the old Kingdom of Guge.
The rulers of the Kingdom of Guge were patrons of the arts who invited Indian scholars to
translate the texts of the Buddha into Tibetan, thereby preserving the teachings. At the same
time they had a large number of temple complexes built and ornamented to create unique
artworks by master craftsmen from Kashmir. Until well into the 17th century Guge experienced two golden ages in which the West Tibetan artistic style was perfected in monasteries
like Tholing, Tsaparang and Dungkar. Together with “TABO – Gods of Light: The Indo-Tibetan
Masterpiece” this volume represents a unique overall view of the monastery art of Western
Tibet.

WINFRIED BAUMANN
With his artistic works, the sculptor Winfried Baumann (* 1956) evokes questions of social responsibility and the perception of contemporary social forms.
His subjects are highly topical both as regards content with respect to social
and urban-planning visions, and also formally as they cross the borders
between fine art and applied design.
For over thirty years the sculptor Winfried Baumann has focused his attention on the
ecological problems which are increasingly advancing to become a question of survival

for civilised society. Refuse, slag from the burning of refuse, waste oil and other waste
products from our consumer society are materials which he has been using since the
mid-1980s for his three-dimensional works and large-scale installations. In his very
extensive group of works “Cathedrals for Garbage” Winfried Baumann examines, for
example, waste-disposal plants for large urban spaces, with the protection and marking
of nuclear contaminated sites, waste-disposal facilities for large urban spaces and
intermediate urban spaces and with the subject of urban mining.

EXPRESSIONIST HERITAGE OF THE RHINE-RUHR REGION
The architecture of Expressionism marks the starting point of the discipline
in the Golden Twenties – also in the urban cityscape of the metropolises of the
Rhine-Ruhr region. This volume documents for the first time in a complete
overview all the buildings in the region which still exist and shows a completely new perspective on a familiar region – a fascinating rediscovery in terms of
sheer volume.
Enthusiasm for the Expressionist metropolis, an architecture by complexity, verticality
and a sense of drama, also embraced the urban landscape of the Rhine-Ruhr region
during the 1920s. The Expressionist fragments which have survived to this day bear
witness to a determined love of form and a rich and skilful treatment of colour, material
and light. The volume documents in contemporary photographs and plans 155 buildings
in Bochum, Bottrop, Dortmund, Duisburg, Düsseldorf, Essen, Gelsenkirchen, Hagen,
Cologne, Münster, Oberhausen and elsewhere. A detailed index and clearly drawn
maps complete this reference work.

THE CHASUBLE OF THOMAS BECKET
A BIOGRAPHY
The so-called chasuble of Thomas Becket (1118–1170) is one of the most
magnificent medieval textiles in the Mediterranean region. Richly decorated
with ornaments, fabulous animals and figures in lavish gold embroidery with
Arabic inscriptions, this precious liturgical garment provides impressive proof
of the re-utilisation of the Islamic arts in the Christian world.
Venerated as a relic of St Thomas of Canterbury, the chasuble was produced in SpanishMuslim workshops and probably reached Italy as a donation to the Cathedral of Fermo in
about 1200. Despite its outstanding artistic quality and fascinating history, this magnificent
garment has never hitherto been the subject of a detailed study. Richly illustrated with
numerous details, this volume investigates the meaning of the inscriptions and motifs,

THE GRIMANI RISEN CHRIST. AN EARLY MASTERPIECE
Titian was the most important Venetian artist of the sixteenth century. His
paintings are among the most-admired works in collections and museums
worldwide. This volume shows for the first time a sensational find: his early
painting “The Grimani Risen Christ”, which was in the possession of one of the
most important family collections in Venice.
Christ stands on the tomb like an emperor of Antiquity. An impressive scene, but it is not
only the pose which captivates the viewer. The spectacular element lies in the boldness
with which the dramatic Easter morning sky in the background is represented. This detail
demonstrates the genius with which Titian exploited the colours and their full potential: “In
this spectacular detail, the medium of paint is exploited to its highest potential. It is as if
the light embodies a supernatural energy causing the shroud to billow and Christ’s
pennant to flutter.” In addition it has been possible to penetrate to the origins of the
picture. It was in the possession of the Grimanis, one of the most illustrious patrician
families and the most important collectors in Venice at the time.

The art academy failed to recognise his talent; he rejected the contemporary
art scene in Vienna; and his visionary work was largely neglected during his
lifetime: the painter Richard Gerstl (1883–1908), whose creative period lasted
for just four intensive years, is regarded today as one of the most important
representatives of Austrian Expressionism for his portraits and landscapes.
With his early pictures “Self-Portrait against a Blue Background” and “The Sisters Karoline and Pauline Frey” Richard Gerstl began to create an oeuvre which was well ahead of
his times and which made him one of the pioneers of Abstract Expressionism. In 1906
Gerstl met the musician Arnold Schönberg. He embarked upon an affair with the latter’s
wife Mathilde, who briefly left her husband but then returned to him in 1908. Gerstl not
only lost his lover but was also socially isolated; he committed suicide during that same
year. His work sank into oblivion and it was only twenty years later that it was presented to
the public by the Viennese art dealer Otto Kallir-Nirenstein for the first time: Gerstl had
never exhibited his paintings during his lifetime.

“The goal should be an understanding by all three parties: the wall, the architect

His projects reveal a willingness to try out new things and demonstrate his
striving to extend painting beyond the boundaries of the easel and to integrate it
into the social, everyday space. They shed new light on one of the influential
artists of the twentieth century.

LUDWIG MEIDNER IN EXILE
Apocalypse, the city, war, religion, the portrait, exile and existential trauma –
Ludwig Meidner (1884–1966) is regarded as one of the outstanding artists of
German Expressionism. With the accuracy of a seismograph he recorded in his
pictorial and literary works the shocks which reverberated through his time.
To mark the 50th anniversary of the death of the Jewish artist Ludwig Meidner attention
has been focused on the works produced during his period of exile in London between
1939 and 1953 – sketchbooks, watercolours and charcoal and chalk drawings produced
under the most difficult conditions. They represent an intense mixture of internal experience and contemporary commentary. With merciless directness and symbolic condensation the works tell of terror, isolation, persecution and destruction as well as a grotesquely
absurd world which Meidner spotlighted in an idiosyncratic way, combining mockery with
mordant humour and sarcasm with bizarre exaggeration.

CLEAR VISION[S]
Pravoslav Sovak (*1926) is one of the most important graphic artists of our
time. With his drawing skills and delight in technical experimentation he
focuses his critical attention on society and institutions. Sometimes he lets us
immerse ourselves in travel and landscape impressions. A reading book and
catalogue raisonné in one, this volume traces Sovak’s multi-layered oeuvre
since 1994.
The artist from Bohemia is a path-blazer for Postmodernism and an unparalleled master of
graphic techniques. With virtuoso skill he combines complex processes from etching to the
rarely used helioogravure. With his finely balanced nuances he allows virtually every print to

Max Mannheimer’s oeuvre follows his poetic motto “I marry colours”. Starting from a
completely independent artistic position, since 1955 he has demonstrated tremendous
pleasure in experimentation and has created a total of more than one thousand works. His
dynamic abstract paintings and drawings are signed “ben jakov” (Son of Jakob) in memory
of his father, who was killed in concentration camp. They bear witness to the horror as
well as the joy of an eventful life. Together with an introductory essay by Gottfried Knapp,
the publication provides for the first time an overview of the paintings of Max Mannheimer
which have been created away from the public eye.

Far from current trends, the painter and graphic artist Zoran Music (1909–

and that evokes in radical manner a reflection on the inner essence. Music
was represented at the Biennale in Venice as well as the documenta and
received numerous international awards, including the Prix de Paris.
With 68 works from the Swiss Collection of Gabriele e Anna Braglia, this volume presents
a representative insight into Music’s oeuvre, which is characterised by frugal means and

The paintings, drawings, photographs and video installations of Janaina
Tschäpe are inspired by the female body. The artist’s subject complexes are
landscape, death, renewal and transformation. Viewers of her multi-layered
works feel as if they have been transported into a dream world of primeval
landscapes, ambiguous signs and exotic vegetation.
Tschäpe (*1973 in Munich) grew up in Brazil; her first name is that of a Brazilian water
goddess. Thus it is no coincidence that the female figure will mostly be found at the centre
of her photographs and performances. Inspired by nature in Brazil, they are often framed
by organic forms or embedded in flowing waters and form their own artistic cosmos.
Tschäpe also links lines and forms with each other in her paintings to create a network of
interconnections. Janaina Tschäpe lives and works in New York and Rio de Janeiro and has
established an international reputation through exhibitions in museums including the
Guggenheim in New York and the Centre Pompidou in Paris.

of paradox combinations and reflections that challenge reality.

SCULPTURES
The main subject in the creative work of the sculptor Mario Dilitz (b. 1973)
from Tyrol is to give expression to the human form, to convey and translate the
language it speaks. In doing so he combines old sculptural knowledge and
technical perfection with contemporary topics, thereby creating sculptures of
great intensity and attractiveness.
Upright, standing in the space with both feet firmly on the ground, the mostly life-sized
figures in wood and bronze dominate the sculptural work of Mario Dilitz. His sculptures
polarise; they impress and disturb in equal measure. Their aesthetic beauty and perfection
stand in contrast to a profound expression of the uncertainty of human existence. In
high-quality photographs and telling studio views this volume introduces the artist’s
fascinating work and provides a lively insight into the artistic development and process of
creation of Dilitz’s unusual sculptures.

Andrea Bischof is one of Austria’s most important contemporary artists and

exceptional harmony of her compositions. She achieves this through weeks of
patiently juxtaposing dazzling tones that. The alluring interplay between
surface and depth literally makes the pictures begin to breathe and pulsate.
Bischof has always felt a strong affinity with French art and, in her work, continues in the
footsteps of the Impressionists, Nabis and Fauves. Like the Abstract Expressionist artists
Bischof has also made a close study of the fulminant late work of the great French master
Claude Monet. This volume portrays Bischof’s development form the monochrome works
of her early period and the arcane depths of her “Reflections”, over the experimental

STRIP-CUT-COLLAGE
Tearing, cutting, shredding in order to reassemble the elements and create
something new: strip by strip the Austrian artist Monika Fioreschy applies
lengths of torn paper to her canvases, thereby creating large-format abstract
works filled with a harmonious formal language and offering an unexpected
wealth of detail when observed more closely.
Paper is the main medium used in the new cycles of works by Monika Fioreschy, whereby
the strength of her works lies in the reduction of materials and forms. Line by line our
eyes follow the course of the collages; the observer is seduced into reading her art. The
strict regularity of the works is interrupted by changes in colour, the arrangement of the
folds, gaps and overpasting, whereby the real wealth of detail only becomes evident
through intensive study. In his essay accompanying the full-page reproductions of the
works, art theorist Bazon Brock explains how Fioreschy’s training in classic weaving skills
can be rediscovered in these works and the role they play in the artist’s oeuvre as a whole.

CULTURAL HISTORY
MINIATURES FROM THE
BAROQUE PERIOD IN THE
TANSAY COLLECTION
This catalogue is the first publication ever devoted to
17th-century portrait miniatures. The little-known but
particularly impressive miniature painting of the Baroque
age is presented with the aid of 120 works from the Tansey
Collection, one of Europe’s leading private collections of
miniatures. The works can be compared with each other in
original-size and colour reproductions, as well as many
detail enlargements. Foremost specialists in this art sector
have contributed detailed and richly illustrated introductory
essays. The book allows a comprehensive insight into the art
of miniature painting in this magnificent era.

The Russian Avant-Garde, which brought about an artistic revolution
between 1905 and 1934, represents one of the most fascinating chapters
in the history of 20th-century art. Artists like Malevich, Kandinsky and
Chagall are highly esteemed the world over. But this movement was much
more diverse than is generally realised. For the first time this artistic
wealth is being presented in a major sequence of pictures.

Thirty-three scholars look at these unprecedented feather
artworks that circulated all around the world in the 16th and
17th centuries from a range of vantage points including art
history, anthropology, collecting and global history, natural
history, archeology and conservation. Planned to complement a
major international exhibition held at the National Museum of Art
(MUNAL) in Mexico City in 2011, the book is organized thematically
and includes ca. 300 color plates illustrating feather mosaics with
their astonishing details, as well as relevant paintings, sculptures,
drawings, engravings, books, European illuminated manuscripts,
Mesoamerican codices, and studies of natural history.
