Als Protagonist der Heftigen Malerei und Mitbegründer der Galerie am Moritzplatz wurde Bernd Zimmer (geb. 1948) in den 1970ern bekannt. Seither entstand ein bemerkenswertes Œuvre, in dem die Auseinandersetzung mit der Natur einen zentralen Stellenwert einnimmt: von den Wüstenbildern und dschungelartigen Wäldern über die Serie der Cosmos-Bilder bis zu eindrucksvollen Holzschnitten monumentalen Formats. Der vorliegende Band lässt anhand von 75 ausgewählten Arbeiten die letzten 20 Jahre seines Schaffens Revue passieren und gibt Einblick in ein einzigartiges Werk, das souverän zwischen Gegenständlichkeit und Abstraktion, Natureindruck und autonomer Formgebung oszilliert. Exhibition: Städtischen Galerie im Leeren Beutel, Regensburg, Germany (22.06. -03.09.2018) / Museumslandschaft Hessen Kassel, Neue Galerie, Germany (19.10.2018 - 03.02.2019).

Created in 1993 by German artist Martin Kippenberger, the MOMAS (Museum of Modern Art Syros) is an artist museum open until 1996 in Greece on the island of Syros and set up in an unfinished building. Kippenberger invited his artists friends to make projects and works for this place which was also a critique of the museum itself. MAMCO owns all the models and plans of the MOMAS and most of the archives of its 7 years of activity. This book proposes the first comprehensive study of the MOMAS and situates this alternative museum in the history of museums created by artists in the 20th century. The book proposes also interviews with artists invited by Martin Kippenberger to participate to the life of his MOMAS.

"Largely regarded as one of the most important movements of American architecture and design, the Prairie School helped move America into the modern age. Signaling a departure from nineteenth-century formality, its practitioners sought to create buildings that were organic and would facilitate a new, progressive way of life. This guide to the treasures of the Prairie School at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts focuses not only on the museum's collection of early twentieth-century American design but also on the Institute's historic Purcell-Cutts house, one of the most significant examples of Prairie School architecture in the country. With its historic photographs, many never before published, Progressive Design in the Midwest is a combination of history, house tour, and museum guide." "The many objects in the Institute's Prairie school collection including works by Louis Sullivan, Frank Lloyd Wright, William Gray Purcell, and George Grant Elmslie, among others, are described in detail. Along with each piece is a list of relevant texts, exhibitions, and the historical background of the piece, as well as information about the designer."--Jacket.

[introduction, Anne D'Harnoncourt

"This book chronicles the friendship and working relationship between Marcel Duchamp (1887-1968) and Joseph Cornell (1903-1972), two of the twentieth century's most innovative and influential artists. Joseph Cornell/Marcel Duchamp...in resonance publishes for the first time the Duchamp Dossier (c. 1942-53) - a hitherto publicly unknown collection compiled by Cornell and discovered in the artist's estate following his death in 1972. The small objects, typed and handwritten notes, and ephemera found within the Duchamp Dossier provide an absorbing record of the interchange between these two artists, which included Cornell's assisting Duchamp on the assembly of his edition de ou par Marcel Duchamp ou Rrose Selavy (commonly referred to as the Boite-en-valise)." "Both artists were intrigued by the connection between art and the found object, and they shared a fascination with replicated images and the processes of reproduction. They had parallel interests in optical devices, ephemeral mediums (such as glass, dust, and paper), filmmaking, and graphic design. The book focuses in depth on Duchamp's box editions and Cornell's often neglected "explorations," arranged files of printed matter, notes, and ephemera related to individuals or specific themes."--BOOK JACKET.
