Fur alle lieben in der welt

By: Okwui Enwezor,Johanna Adorján,Danièle Cohn,Ulf Valde Jensen,Harald Szeemann,Pamela Kort,Manuel J. Borja-Villel,Ulrich Wilmes

The first major exhibition catalog on Jörg Immendorff (1945-2007) since his death, this volume offers a thematic overview of more than four decades of the artist's work, with more than 120 iconic paintings. For All Beloved in the World offers a thematic overview of the work of this German artist, whose identity is deeply enshrined in his home country's history and characterized by a post-war background. More than 120 works do not follow a strict chronology of the works; instead they present the key element in the development of Immendorff's oeuvre in chapters. They give a nuanced view of the artist's life and work and include some of the rarest loans, bringing together more than four decades of the artist's work united with iconic paintings. It was not until the end of the 1970s that Immendorff decided to shift his threefold existence as a political activist, teacher and painter to the side of art. The year 1976 was key in some respects; Immendorff participated in the Venice Biennale with a flyer campaign that attacked the 'deprivation of personal liberty' in the GDR and called for international artistic co-operation as a vehicle to overcome it; this was followed in 1978 by the beginning of his Café Deutschland series, inspired by Renato Guttuso's Café Greco, which Immendorff had seen in an exhibition in Cologne. With his work on the Café Deutschland series, Immendorff's painting became more expressive through his bold use of colour and gesture, thereby also freeing him of ideologically imbued emblematics. The process of change introduced here, with its formal and substantive opening-up, developed into the artist's last work phase, a visual-linguistic 'clearing' in the sense of a new pictorial energy and lightness, which Immendorff once described as a 'liberation blow'.

Histories in Conflict

Haus Der Kunst and the Ideological Uses of Art, 1937-1955

By: Okwui Enwezor

*Richly illustrated and containing a wide range of historical documents, this is an in-depth history of the Haus der Kunst*Celebrates the 80th anniversary of the Haus Der KunstFor the Haus der Kunst in Munich, the question of how to deal with its own past arose directly after the end of the Second World War, when the building once again served as an exhibition space . This richly illustrated volume spans the key historical dates during which a social and political development took place, at whose beginning stood the ideology of the National Socialists and whose end marked the start of Germany's transformation into a democratic state. In this time period, it was not only the orientation of the Haus der Kunst's content that changed; as a result of the cultural-historical upheavals of this time, the basis for the building's development as an international exhibition venue was also laid. Today the Haus der Kunst plays a formative role in the discussion of relevant positions in contemporary art. It documents the historical developments within the context of political and cultural transformations, as well as their international parallels and references. Large exhibitions that were influential for the topography of the art of the twentieth century such as the World Exposition in Paris in 1937, the biennials in Venice, and the first documenta in 1955 provide the coordinates for the international dimension of the Haus der Kunst's story.
