[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.

herausgegeben von Hannelore Paflik-Huber

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).

[exhibition curated by Tim Wilcox

"This book brings together for the first time Sean Scully's images of the walls of Aran, revealing the unexpected yet monumental beauty of these centuries-old structures that meander across the austere and exposed landscape. In form and spirit, the photographs of the walls, with their horizontal and vertical shards of limestone, shed light on Scully's own sensibilities as an artist, revealing a creative process expressed through abstract shapes yet rooted in the material world. They also capture the stillness and serenity of this rugged, timeless place on the edge of Europe."--Jacket.
