‎ In the 19th century plaster replicas of historical art objects represented the fulfilment of the old dream of a museum which contained the world?s masterpieces. The Berlin manufactory provides a journey through different cultures from antiquity to the present. Berlin?s cast workshop was founded in 1819 and is the oldest and largest of its kind. Goethe and the brothers von Humboldt were already among its customers. To this day, this institution continues to sell hand-painted replicas of major sculptures which are defined by their artistry and workmanship. Since its foundation, the supply of casts has been steadily increased to 7,000 works. Thanks to this ongoing and enormous supply, and the techniques of the manufactory, which were handed down from generation to generation, it has been possible to maintain the exceptionally high standard of Berlin?s plaster cast tradition. Its repertoire already exceeds the expansive inventory of the Berlin State Museums. Not only masterpieces of these museums, such as the bust of Nefertiti and the Pricesses Luise and Friederike by Schadow are included, but also the best-known works from other important collections. The Laocoon Group and Rodin?s Thinker are among these famous plaster casts. The 100 examples in this magnificently designed and richly illustrated volume provide a comprehensive insight into the achievements and work of plaster casting. This book also pays tribute to the art of creating plaster replicas as an important cultural technique of the 19th century, a time when these artworks played a very important role not only in museums and private and study collections, but also served to decorate private homes.‎

‎CONGO AS FICTION : Art Worlds Between Past and Present. ‎

‎, Scheidegger (ACC), 2020 HB, 279 x 228 mm, 328 pages, ENG edition, ISBN 9783858818355.‎

‎Investigates comprehensively how Congolese artists have been exploring and reflecting upon the effects of globalised trade, colonialism, proselytisation, and virtual boundaries Features many previously unpublished works by Congolese artists both contemporary and the 19th and early 20th centuries Congo's vibrant art scene attracts great worldwide interest A single Congo does not exist - or is in any case fictitious. Yet the Democratic Republic of Congo has an extraordinarily vibrant art scene that attracts great interest from around the world. Nowhere else in Africa art production is as manifold in form, media, and materials used. For many years, Congolese artists have been exploring and reflecting upon the effects of globalised trade, colonialism, proselytisation, and virtual boundaries. As the works of artists such as Sammy Baloji or Sinzo Aanza demonstrate, these effects never before were more topical than today. For the first time, this book, which is published in conjunction with an exhibition at Zurich's Museum Rietberg, features objects and photographs collected by the German anthropologist Hans Himmelheber during his journey to the Congo in 1938-39. The coloured masks, imposing figures, and richly decorated everyday objects bear witness to the period's extraordinary creativity and innovativeness as well as of the collector's own idea of Congo. They are juxtaposed with works by contemporary Congolese artists and complemented by essays that investigate the fiction of Congo both as an African and Western World imagination. Thus, the book links the past with the utopia of contemporary artistic production in central Africa. Published to accompany the exhibition Congo as Fiction: Art Worlds Between Past and Present at Museum Rietberg, Zurich, between 22 November 2019 and 15 March 2020.‎

‎Mondriaan en het kubisme. Parijs 1912-1914‎

‎De ambitie van Piet Mondriaan (1872-1944) was grenzeloos. Hij ontwikkelde zich tot n van de grootmeesters van de moderne kunst en legde een vastberaden weg af naar abstractie. Hij vertrok in januari 1912 naar Parijs om het kubisme te bestuderen. Twee jaar later keerde hij terug en toonde zijn nieuwe werk bij kunsthandel Walrecht in Den Haag. Toen werd duidelijk hoe mijlenver Mondriaan in twee jaar tijd verwijderd was geraakt van de Nederlandse kunst. Hij groeide uit tot een groot inspirator voor andere kunstenaars. Precies 100 jaar na de tentoonstelling bij Walrecht brengt het Gemeentemuseum Den Haag deze herinneringstentoonstelling als hommage aan Mondriaan, die in 2014 precies 70 jaar geleden overleed.‎

‎ontdekking van de natuur.‎

‎, Terra-Lannoo, 2021 Gebonden, Hardcover 256 pagina's 33,2 x 25,3 x 2,9 cm. ISBN 9789089898432.‎

‎Vanaf de vroege zestiende eeuw verschenen er in Europa steeds meer studies waarin dieren en planten 'naar het leven' werden beschreven en verbeeld. In de daaropvolgende eeuwen werd het onderzoek naar de natuurlijke wereld verdiept en werd de kunst om die wonderbaarlijke natuur af te beelden geperfectioneerd. In De ontdekking van de natuur vindt u twintig prachtige en rijk ge llustreerde verhalen over vogels, insecten, bacteri n, draken en nog veel meer. De beschreven ontdekkingen zijn doorspekt met anekdotes over de bijzondere mannen en vrouwen die er tussen 1500 en 1900 voor hebben gezorgd dat wij het leven om ons heen en dat van onszelf zoveel beter begrijpen. Lees over de draak die in 1572 op een akker bij Bologna werd verslagen, over Van Leeuwenhoek, die met behulp van de door hemzelf gemaakte microscoop bacteri n in zijn eigen tandplak ontdekte. Of over hoe de jonge Charles Darwin tijdens zijn reis met de Beagle inzichten kreeg die de basis legden voor zijn evolutieleer. Hans Mulder is opgeleid als historicus en werkt als conservator natuurlijke historie van het Allard Pierson, de collecties van de Universiteit van Amsterdam. Hij publiceert over de geschiedenis van het boek en over hoe in de westerse samenleving de kijk op de natuur in de loop der tijd veranderde. Onderwerpen waarover hij ook doceert aan de UvA. Veel van de belangrijkste natuurhistorische handschriften, gedrukte boeken, tekeningen en aquarellen die Mulder in dit boek heeft gebruikt, zijn te vinden in de Artis Bibliotheek, onderdeel van het Allard Pierson.‎

‎Hans Op De Beeck - Sea of Tranquility + CD.‎

‎, Wpg Uitgevers Be 2011, 2011 Hardcover, 167 pages, ENG, 475 x 210 mm, very special book, a mix of art and photography, oblong. **tweedehands exemplaar licht beschadigd onderzijde kaft. ISBN 9789461300348.‎

‎This artist's book is the culmination of Hans Op de Beeck's long-term project 'Sea of Tranquillity'. The publication includes film stills, texts, sculptures, watercolours and even a soundtrack (sung by Sandrine). In his familiar pictorial style mildly surreal and resolutely critical the artist confronts us with a large-scale but fictional luxury cruise-ship. This artificial city symbolizes a postmodern society in which extreme luxury is accompanied by a moral vacuum. On board we do not only meet Eros and Thanatos, but also boredom, miscommunication and a hierarchical crew.‎

‎ALFRED KUBIN : Confessions of a Tortured Soul‎

‎, Walther Koenig Verlag (Thames) 2022, 2022 Hardcover, 288 pages, ENG, 285 x 240 mm, New, illustrations in colour, . ISBN 9783753301983.‎

‎The art of the great draftsman, illustrator and author of the novel The Other Side, Alfred Kubin, appears more current today than ever before: for it was violence, wartime destruction, pandemics, natural disasters, the manipulation of the masses and other abysses of human existence that pervaded his highly narrational works. The oeuvre of this fantastical creator confronts us with pessimistic visions which - to quote Schopenhauer - delineate "the worst of all possible worlds". Kubin's childhood and adolescence was shaped by setbacks and depression - he was dismissed from high school, abandoned his photography apprenticeship, lost his mother at an early age, attempted suicide at her grave and suffered a nervous breakdown after a short stint in the military. These are only some of the blows of fate that characterize his traumatic biography. Kubin found relief by moving to Munich in 1898, where he began to study art. His first visit to the Alte Pinakothek left him "filled with astonishment and ecstasy". He described seeing Max Klinger's etchings as a "cascade of visions of black and white images". As we know from his biographical notes, he subsequently familiarized himself "with the entire graphic oeuvre of Klinger, Goya, de Groux, Rops, Munch, Ensor, Redon and comparable artists". It was from this variety of impressions and artistic positions, but especially from his own empirical and emotional worlds and unbridled imagination, that Kubin created his unparalleled, mysterious-fantastical oeuvre. The exhibition at the Leopold Museum is the first to attempt an exploration of Kubin's oneiric worlds - which all too often enter nightmarish-somber spheres - in terms of their relation to the unconscious and the deep dimensions of the psyche. In this interpretation attempt, the psychoanalyst and psychiatrist August Ruhs will orient himself on works by Kubin selected by curator Hans-Peter Wipplinger with specific thematic emphases in mind. Kubin's works are placed into a dialogue with works by artists of the 19th century and of Classical Modernism from which Kubin derived inspiration for his oeuvre. Kubin's dystopian visualizations, which carry on from Symbolism and the fantastical art of the 19th century and may be considered precursors to French Surrealism, are composed of actual and imaginary reality: an ingenious synthesis, in which the uncanniness of these pessimistic realms is often seasoned with humor, irony and exaggeration.‎

‎Adam Helms‎

‎, Snoeck Verlagsgesellschaft Mbh 2013, 2013 Hardcover, 202 pages, English, 305 x 245 mm, fine copy, lots of illustrations and pictures,. ISBN 9783864420313.‎

‎Using an array of media, from found photography, gouache and charcoal on paper and silkscreen to assemblage and installation, acclaimed New York-based artist Adam Helms (born 1974) explores social and military conflict and the continuities between past and present instances of injustice. Helms draws heavily on found imagery (such as online images or photographs from library archives), frequently superimposing contemporary images and drawings upon them to establish both the eerie remoteness and the relevance of the past. This volume, the artist's first monograph, consists of full-page color spreads of installation views and details of the artist's oeuvre from 2007 to the present, as installed at institutions such as The Walker Art Center, Minneapolis; Sister, Los Angeles; The Museum of Contemporary Art, Denver; Grimm Gallery, Amsterdam and Marianne Boesky Gallery, New York.‎

‎, Walther and Franz Koenig Verlag, 2023 LEPORELLO, 220 x 275 mm, 32 p, 21 Coloured illustr. , EN-GE edition , PB, .NEW ISBN 9783753303468.‎

‎Luc Tuymans' aim was to create pertinent images during the global pandemic. The arist explores issues of history and memory as well as the relationship between photography and painting, using a muted palette to create canvases that are at once withholding and disarmingly stark.The catalogue centered on four monumental canvases on which numbers were painted, alongside three paintings and an animation film. Drawing on imagery from photography, television and film, his distinctive compositions make ingenious use of cropping, close-ups and framing, offering fresh perspectives on the medium of painting as well as on broader cultural issues.‎
