"Tender Horrors. A little girl, oblivious to the world around her, supports herself on an axe that is taller than she herself. The sharp blade that has just felled a tree points right at what is beneath her dress, lifted by a gentle updraft. The stump mirrors her rosy pudenda. Stephan Melzl (b. Basel, 1959; lives and works in Frankfurt am Main) has set the child into a detail from Fragonard's rococo painting "Swing," which shows a courtl ..."
"Das unverwechselbare Oeuvre des jung verstorbenen Künstlers Jochen Klein (1967 1997) markiert eine neue Auffassung in der figurativen Malerei der 1990er-Jahre in Europa. Nach dem Malereistudium in München wandte sich Klein als Mitglied der New Yorker Künstlergruppe Group Material zunächst konzeptuellen Projekten zu. Nach seiner Übersiedelung nach London kam er jedoch wieder zur Malerei zurück und arbeitete bis zu seinem frühen Tod an Ge ..."
"Between 1937 and 1947, while he was in exile in Amsterdam, the German-born painter Max Beckmann (1884-1950) made approximately a third of the work he would create in his lifetime. When he moved on, it was to accept an appointment as a professor at Washington University in St. Louis. Before that peacetime respite, he countered Europe's threatening instability with intense concentration. Max Beckmann in Amsterdam opens with the last work ..."

"Since the end of the 1980s, Belgian artist Luc Tuymans has been developing an extraordinarily complex work, combining the question of representation and representability--inherent in any kind of painting--with a radical charge of pictorial motives. Grounded in a structure that is coolly figurative and drawing-like, and materials that are always preprocessed and mediated (for example, Polaroid shots, newspaper clippings, film stills), Tu ..."
"Multiple City details worldwide trends in urban development against the backdrop of the field's evolution over the past 100 years. As this volume demonstrates, though the discourse around urban development enjoys temporary popularity, development itself leaves behind enduring traces; multiple parallels emerge between today's trends and historical evidence. In this book, 16 of the most pressing urban-development debates are unpacked by l ..."

"The expression "Dutch landscape" continues to evoke painterly traditions of unspoiled and idyllic farmland, but like any other country, the Netherlands has altered radically over the last century, and today enjoys international renown for its hi-tech cultivation and reshaping of the landscape. Since the 1980s, a number of outstanding landscape photographers and video artists have been taking this artificial character of the Dutch landsc ..."
"Seit den sechziger Jahren gilt der 1938 geborene deutsche Maler und Bildhauer Georg Baselitz als wichtigster Vertreter der neueren deutschen Malerei. Mit seinen „auf den Kopf gestellten“ Bildern krempelte er auch den Kunstmarkt um. Für zwei Ausstellungen in der Pinakothek der Moderne in München (21. Juli bis 29. Oktober 2006) und der Albertina in Wien (16. Januar bis 22. April 2007) hat Baselitz frühere, längst zu Ikonen des Kunstbetr ..."
