Luminous, colorful still lifes from an emerging Danish painter Focusing on recent works, Black Lemonsprovides an introduction to the work of Danish painter Emily Gernild (born 1985). In conversation with editor and curator Milena Høgsberg, the artist explores how she builds her assertive, textured, colorful paintings, drawing from everyday life, dreams and still-life painting.

Poetic light sculptures installed and photographed against natural backdrops Norwegian artist Rune Guneriussen (born 1977) takes us on a journey through forests and wetlands, to bodies of water and stretches of coast, photographing self-constructed light objects that he has arranged across the varying landscapes, evoking high-rise buildings, route markers or mythical creatures.

The book by the artist Benno Blome (*1979) is a composition of rhythm, eloquence, and silence. It is based on a series of abstract drawings derived from incidents and objects in the real world. Even though the drawings conceal their meaning behind the clear, reduced line management, the concreteness of these models remains present in the works. In the publication, the individual drawings are combined into a sort of text-a story from the unknown. Even if we are not proficient in the writing and language of this text, it is possible to recognize one pattern or another in it. This also gives rise to curiosity to fathom the other, the unknown in these drawings.

Six Berlin-based artists set out in search of their inner self and travelled down paths that could not be more diverse: Frauke Bohge, Catherine Bourdon, Andrea Cataudella, Sayyora Muin, Katrin Salentin and Anna-Lisa Unkuri. Text in English and German.

Two decades of arithmetically inspired sculpture and installation Swiss artist Ruth Maria Obrist (born 1955) makes objects and installations that explore the dynamics of chaos and order. She uses unconventional and profoundly tactile materials such as bitumen, glue and rust to create sensory surfaces. This book presents her work since 2000.

Chronicling the presentations and performances of nearly 20 piano compositions from a Vienna-based artist Austrian artist Alexander Wiener (born 1967) presents 18 original piano compositions, which he describes as sound-sketches or mental sound-diagrams, each complemented by video images and previously unpublished lighting interventions. Accompanying the publication is the establishment of a new prize, which encourages musical exploration of Wiener's work.

A painterly and sculptural meditation on human form Romanian artist Zsolt Berszán (born 1974) evokes the human body in a macabre play of distortions, contortions and torn fragments. This book presents around 100 of his paintings, sculptures and mixed-media objects from 2014 to 2021.

On Stella’s formal and conceptual shifts from Minimalism to arabesque The American painter, sculptor and printmaker Frank Stella (born 1936) is famed for his use of brightly colored geometric shapes and patterns. Throughout his long career, questions concerning abstraction and representation, sign and ornament, surface and space, have guided his explorative practice. Initially producing highly minimalist abstractions, Stella has built upon his austere foundations, introducing intricate patterns, fluid shapes and cutouts.This publication examines four phases in Stella’s work, contextualized by the Museum Wiesbaden’s the early works; Minimalist stripe paintings; the departure into three-dimensionality; and the use of ornament and arabesque. By structuring his oeuvre in this way, the book invites readers to trace the continuities and points of departure between his early and late work. Texts by curator Jörg Daur, art advisor Bernard Ceysson and writers Andreas Henning and Lea Schäfer help to illuminate Stella’s formal evolution.

Gestural paintings of abstracted outdoor scenes Romanian artist Sebastian Hosu (born 1988) works with oil painting and charcoal drawing to create gestural and abstract compositions populated by dynamic, often flesh-colored forms that give rise to the suggestion of human bodies and flow into a natural outdoor environment.

Collage portraits exploring the pressures of contemporary womanhood Between 2017 and 2021, Finnish artist Niina Lehtonen Braun (born 1975) made over 500 collages depicting the various roles and tasks of women and the enormous pressure they bring with them. Let Go Girl presents a selection of these pieces.

Alchemistic material research: Myriam Holme (*1971) walks a fine line between painting and sculpture. Her concept of painting is based on the experimental and processual, with both being observed from the material perspective. Her painting can be thought of as expansive and incomplete; it does not settle into what already exists but remains in constant motion. Holme has already received numerous awards for her work, and her pieces are on display in national and international museums and exhibition spaces. The monograph Myriam Holme, 2010?2020 features works from the past decade along with essays by Christiane Schu?rkmann and Jörg van den Berg.

With and in ?pictures,? Henning Strassburger contemplates the abysmal possibilities of painting in a world in which the virtuality of social media seems ?more real? than reality itself. Is the present thus merely an immaterial fiction? In the exhibition ALPHAKEVIN developed for the Kunstverein Heppenheim, Strassburger juxtaposes painterly gestures with oversized details of photographs. As an integral component, his new publication becomes a presentation panel, and, like painting itself, a catalyzer for all kinds of visual media.00Exhibition: Kunstverein Heppenheim, Germany (15.05. - 13.06.2020).

As most recent events disconcertingly show, the calculated mass murder of the European Jews by the National Socialists is increasingly often being trivialized or wilfully buried in oblivion. In stark contrast to this, photographer Olaf Schlote (*1961) dedicates himself to active remembrance. His new book is a journey, leading from Auschwitz, Majdanek, and Stutthof to Israel. In haunting portraits, one encounters 11 first generation survivors. Persons, who, after having been on the brink of death, were able to start anew in Israel. They speak of the past, the present, and their hope for the future.00Exhibition: Hecht Museum, Haifa, Israel (20.04. - 31.06.2020).

Since 1953, the ars viva visual arts prize has been awarded to outstanding young artists living in Germany, whose works of art demonstrate an independent formal language and an awareness of contemporary issues. This year, the Kulturkreis der deutschen Wirtschaft is distinguishing Rob Crosse (*1985), Richard Sides (*1985), and Sung Tieu (*1987) with the 2021 ars viva prize.

Die vorliegende Publikation befasst sich mit einer der kohärentesten Schenkungen, die ein Schweizer Museum von einem privaten Sammler entgegennehmen durfte. In einfühlsamen Essays von Ines Goldbach, Dieter Schwarz, Toni Stooss, Roland Wäspe und Beat Wismer werden die erlesenen Werke mit großer Kompetenz behandelt und in den biografischen und kunsthistorischen Kontext gestellt. Mit dem Blick des Schriftstellers zeichnet Silvio Blatter ein vielschichtiges Porträt des Sammlers, und Charlotte E. Remé schildert die so außerordentliche Performance von Nam June Paik, die sie im August 1991 im Kunstmuseum St.Gallen miterleben durfte. Heiner E. Schmid, aufgewachsen am Bodensee, ermöglichte mit seinen Schenkungen dem Kunstmuseum St.Gallen eine sinnvolle Erweiterung der seit 1953 aufgebauten Museumssammlung von Werken der Moderne und der zeitgenössischen Kunst, die sich an internationalen Maßstäben orientierte.

Zu seinem neuen Künstlerbuch sagt Martin Bruno Schmid: "Guten Abend, diese Retour de Paris-Ausstellung ist keine klassische Einzelausstellung, Sie sehen weder aktuelle Werke, noch solche, die während meines Stipendiums an der Cité Internationale des Arts Paris entstanden sind. Anstelle einer Ausstellung zeige ich Ihnen heute daher eine Auswahl an ortsbezogenen Projekten und Projektentwürfen. Der Vortrag wird aufgezeichnet, während der Dauer der Ausstellung als Videoprojektion gezeigt und im Anschluss an die Ausstellung als Publikation erscheinen." Die Ausstellung als Vortrag, der Vortrag als Publikation.

Generationsübergreifend stellt Zeitströme und Näherungen 21 Künstlerinnen und Künstler vor, die alle am Sichuan Fine Arts Institute in Chongqing unterrichten. Die Kunsthochschule ist eine der innovativsten in China und seit 1978 der Gedankenfreiheit und dem sensiblen sozialen Wandel verpflichtet. Der umfangreiche Band zeigt die Vielfalt chinesischer Kunst, die zwischen Individualität und Gesellschaft, Figuration und Abstraktion, Absurdität und Realismus selbstbewusst nach der eigenen Stimme sucht und inmitten von überlieferter Tradition und einer globalisierten Gegenwart nach dem Menschlichen fragt

Der Hamburger Künstler Claus Clément arbeitet vornehmlich mit Papier. Seine CultureCUTScollagen schneiden im wahrsten Wortsinn quer durch unsere kulturelle Bildproduktion. Dafür bedient sich Clément frei an der Kunstgeschichte, der zeitgenössischen Kunst, kommerzieller Werbung und Populärkultur. Er zerreißt, zerschneidet, klebt, fügt die Fragmente zu neuen surrealistischen Bildwelten verquerer Begegnungen von Kunst und Kultur zusammen.0Ein poppiger Bildband der das Auge mit mannigfaltig gewitzten neuen Assoziationen und Kontextualisierungen bereichert
