Singer 240 pages, 227 colour illustrations 21× 28 cm, softcover with flaps, stay open binding £ 24.00 978-3-7774-2667-9 July 2016 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 Exhibition Hamburg | Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe Hamburg the enchanting imagery of both historical and contemporary pop culture in Japan, which today focuses on manga and anime. Short texts spotlight the art of the woodcut in the Edo 10.06.– 11.09.2016 period, such as the famous shunga sheets, together with selected excerpts from manga, www.mkg-hamburg.de including those by Jirō Taniguchi and Inio Asano as well as the current developments in the manga phenomenon in the Japan of the 21st century.

Klaus Albrecht Schröder Essays by M.-L. Bernadac, C. Grammont, K. A. Schröder, H. Widauer 256 pages 170 colour illustrations 23.5 × 28.5 cm, hardcover £ 28.00 978-3-7774-2634-1 October 2016 SEURAT, SIGNAC, VAN GOGH 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. The works by the inventors of this technique, Georges Seurat Exhibition Vienna | Albertina 16.09.2016–08.01.2017 www.albertina.at and Paul Signac, marked the beginning of this exuberant outburst of colour. Works by Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso, Carlo Carrá, Karl SchmidtRottluff, Piet Mondrian and Paul Klee demonstrate how artists made a study of Pointillism during the 20th century. Vincent van Gogh contributed to the way that modernist painters abandoned Pointillism. More than 100 selected works, including paintings, watercolours and drawings, illuminate the dawn Vincent van Gogh, Interior of a Restaurant, 1887, of a new era which this art Otterlo, Kröller-Müller Museum movement was responsible for Théo van Rysselberghe, Seated Nude, 1905, Vienna, bringing about: the beginning Albertina, Collection Batliner of modern painting. 5 PAINTING MAJOR CULTURAL EVENT FOR THE SECOND HALF OF THE YEAR EXQUISITE SELECTION OF WORKS WITH PIECES BEING SHOWN IN GERMANY FOR THE FIRST TIME CREATED IN COOPERATION WITH THE WORLD’S MOST IMPORTANT COLLECTIONS THE SPANISH GOLDEN AGE Ed.

Through the examples of the artistic centres of Toledo, Valencia, Sevilla and Madrid this Exhibitions Berlin | Gemäldegalerie volume opens our eyes to Spain’s “Siglo de Oro”. Its artistic production was indissolubly 01.07.–30.10.2016 linked to a profound change in politics and society: Spanish art reached its high point at a www.smb.museum time in which what had previously been the most powerful country in Europe was facing a Munich | Kunsthalle der Hypo-Kulturstiftung continuous loss of its power. However the King, the Church and the aristocracy demanded 25.11.2016–26.03.2017 pictures which would defy the new realities. This book is a formidable invitation to make www.hypo-kunsthalle.de the acquaintance of this important era of European art history through selected works of painting, sculpture and drawing.

Agnes Husslein-Arco, Alexander Klee Essays by A. HussleinArco, A. Klee, E. Mendgen, J. Kennedy, M. Th. Brandlhuber, S. Lehner English-German edition 304 pages 250 colour illustrations 23 × 28.5 cm, hardcover 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 £ 28.00 978-3-7774-2693-8 August 2016 Künstlerhaus in Vienna as early as 1892. Von Stuck, who was one year younger Exhibition Vienna | Belvedere 01.07.–09.10.2016 www.belvedere.at than Gustav Klimt, was a shooting star of his era and had become famous at an early stage as a result of the portfolio “Allegorien und Embleme” (Allegories and Emblems) as well as the “Karten & Vignetten” (Cards and Vignettes).

Max Hollein, Eva Mongi-Vollmer Essays by U. Fleckner, M. Hollein, A. Kluge, E. Mongi-Vollmer, R. Shiff 168 pages 130 colour illustrations 24 × 30 cm, hardcover 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 £ 32.00 978-3-7774-2568-9 July 2016 in his works the ambivalent aspects of the present in which he lived. His “Heroes” appear correspondingly contradictory: their military fatigues are in tatters and their failure as deeply engraved as their resignation. The contrast to the success story of Western Germany’s Exhibition Frankfurt am Main | Städel Museum economic miracle could hardly be more sharply defined, but there is more at stake: with 30.06.–23.10.2016 artist’s self-assertion and determination of identity that were at stake and that Baselitz www.staedelmuseum.de formulated so forcefully.

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- 192 pages 110 colour illustrations 17 × 23 cm, softcover £ 24.00 978-3-7774-2692-1 October 2016 ture by means of the Modulor.

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.

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- George Osodi, The Marketers, from the series Lagos forms for political commentary.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Katia Baudin “The goal should be an understanding by all three parties: the wall, the architect and the painter”, observed the French artist Fernand Léger (1881–1955) in 1933. 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. Essays by J. Barsac, K. Baudin, Y. Dziewior, D. Gay, J. v. d. Heer, R. Jubert, G. Lista, P. Mandt, P. Mennekes, K.

Wilson Fernand Léger, known for his Cubist paintings and his representational works of the £ 38.00 978-3-7774-2594-8 August 2016 mechanical period, was a trained architectural draughtsman who from the early 1920s 312 pages 280 colour illustrations 22.5 × 27 cm, softcover with dust jacket until the end of his life made an intensive study of the interrelationships between painting and space.

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.

With his finely balanced nuances he allows virtually every print to Exhibition Mannheim | Kunsthalle Mannheim become an original.

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.

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.

What is their relevance? And what is their reality? Thomas Huber is an internationally acknowledged painter whose cool picture constructions, mostly devoid of humans, circle around these questions.

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.

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. © Monika Fioreschy 45 46 CULTURAL HISTORY MINIATURES FROM THE BAROQUE PERIOD IN THE TANSAY COLLECTION This catalogue is the first publication ever devoted to 17th-century portrait miniatures.
