"The capriccio is a traditional type of print devoted to the playfully grotesque. It plays only a subordinate role in realism, yet, despite or perhaps because of it, it contains much truth about the condition humaine."
Ruth Baumgarte Africa: Visions of Light and Colour द्वारा Klaus Albrecht Schröder, AngelaStief Hardcover, प्रकाशित 2023 द्वारा Hirmer Verlag, Munich ISBN-13: 978-3-7774-4126-9, ISBN: 3-7774-4126-0
"Ruth Baumgarte was largely interested in the cultures foreign to a European artist at that time in a still undeveloped continent. Her paintings, watercolors and drawings unfold as an almost magical quality when you look at them."

"Hanakam & Schuller sind Trickster. Die Artefakte des in Wien lebenden Kunstlerduos sind haufig Gestaltwandler, verandern ihre aussere Form und tauchen in unterschiedlichen Kontexten wieder auf."
"Sigmund Freud defined trauma as "an experience which, within a short period of time, presents the mind with an increase of stimulus too powerful to be dealt with or worked off in the normal way." The subject represses the traumatic experience, which then begins to enter into consciousness through its only other avenue, the dream--or, quite often, the nightmare. In art, psychological pain often finds expression in surrealistic, dreamlike ..."
"Kenyan-born Wangechi Mutu makes collage works from such materials as ink, clippings from fashion, porn and popular science magazines, glitter, packing tape and rabbit fur. In her fragmented and grotesque figures, Mutu comments ironically on the stereotypes of exotic femininity, transforming them into freakily distorted human shapes. This volume focuses on Mutu's portraits."
"Art and viewer merge as never before in this fun, giftworthy volumeIt sometimes happens in museums that individuals strikingly resemble the art they are viewing. Stefan Draschan has developed a knack for spotting and photographing these amusing coincidences. Over the past few years, while strolling through the museums of Europe, Draschan captured similarities between the works of art and the people looking at them, noticing kinships in ..."
"Birgit Zinner’s new monograph is designed as an extension of her geometric, brightly colored sculptural installationsAustrian artist Birgit Zinner (born 1963) transforms flat surfaces into sculptural works by cutting and overlapping abstract shapes and expressionistic patterns. Made in collaboration with her brothers―a photographer and a graphic designer―this book is both a survey and an example of her work."

"Vergils Epos war in Konsulat und Premier Empire ausserordentlich beliebt. Beeindruckt von Flaxmans Umriss-Stichen zu Homer schuf Girodet mit den Aeneiszeichnungen seine umfangreichste Illustrationsfolge, der in seinem Spätwerk in stilistischer, ikonographischer und kunsttheoretischer Hinsicht besondere Bedeutung zukommt. Der Künstler erweist sich hier als Verfechter des klassizistischen beau idéal der Davidschule. Zugleich reflektiert ..."
"You definitely will not find the contemporary paintings of artist Ronald Kodritsch (b. 1970, Austria) mentioned within historical conversations about modern aesthetics or color and form. His paintings are free-wheeling, loosely composed, and almost childlike in their sense of humor and composition. You can spot formal and thematic references in Kodritschs combinations of intuitive brush strokes and ironic/sarcastic/kitschy images, but h ..."

"... (abgammeln) from a text by Tilman Baumgärtel published in 2006 on the
subject of idylls in German art magazine Kunstforum. Baumgärtel here
documented his attempt to lead a lifestyle within the simulation game The Sims
that does not correspond to the stipulated goals of the game, extending the free
time in the game, and the spend phases of boredom, inactivity, and idleness.
Baumgärtel described the starting point as follows: 'As ..."

"Kat. Kunstverein HamburgBroschiertes BuchAll dreams are in us prophetic Rockets, guns, body fragments, collages, stencils, spray paints and crazy colours are the characteristic elements that populate Kiki -Kogelnik's multicoloured universe. -Kogel-nik was born in 1935 in Graz and grew up in Klagenfurt, Carinthia. After her time at the Vienna Academy, she left for the USA in 1961, ultimately settling in New York City in 1962. It is then ..."
"Assume vivid astro focus (avaf for short) is an artists' collective whose members prefer not to let the public know their names. Their multiple authorship both comments on and evades the cult of personality--it is ostensibly designed to set their art squarely in the public eye, without gossipy biographical distractions, but it has received a lot of attention itself. The avaf works collected here are largely site-specific and in multiple ..."
"Despite the frequent mockery by Pop artists of the Abstract Expressionists' machismo and swagger, the best-known artists of the Pop era (as art history has defined it) were men. Power Up explores a generation of female artists working in the Pop art milieu, whose concerns offered a more overt critique of consumerism and gender issues than their male counterparts. The works of Evelyne Axell, Christa Dichgans, Rosalyn Drexler, Jann Hawort ..."
"VerwandlungskünstlerGebundenes BuchLeigh Bowery (1961-1994) war der unvergleichlich schrillbunte Star der Londoner Clubszene der 1980er-Jahre, ein Performer, der vor keinen Tabus und keinem Trash haltmachte. Er setzte sich in immer neuen Outfits und aberwitzigen Kostümen so pfauenmäßig gekonnt in Szene, dass er nachhaltigen Einfluss auf Designer wie Alexander McQueen, Vivienne Westwood, John Galliano und Modelabels wie Comme des Garçons ..."
"Their power, intensity, and sheer size are overwhelming. Katharina Grosse documents this three-dimensional image world with detailed photos of the installations and pictures from the studio."
