Frank Stella (*1936) situates his oeuvre not only in the present. Abstraction or representation, simulacrum, sign, and ornament, as well as questions of surface and space have fascinated him anew time and again.
The publication presents the following phases in his oeuvre in the context of the Museum Wiesbaden’s collection: the early works, the stripe paintings attributed to minimalism, the departure into space, and thus from the picture to the relief, as well as the use of ornament and arabesque. In interplay with current sculptures by the artist, not only the rigorousness of his oeuvre but also the relevance of his work until today is thus shown.
One hundred years after the founding of the Bauhaus in 1919, Bauhaus and America considers the myriad ways in which the German art, design and architecture school influenced the art and culture of the United States after the World War II.
Bauhaus and America identifies one particular area of influence: the Bauhaus stage, which functioned like an interdisciplinary laboratory for diverse artistic experiments with light and movement―from light and kinetic art, to experimental film, to dance and performance art.
When the rise of German National Socialism forced the Bauhaus to close in 1933, its members scattered, bringing their experimental ethos with them as they left Germany (many of them headed to the US). Thus the exploration of light and motion that began on the Bauhaus stage continued to spread.
Gathered here are works exploring these themes by, among others, Josef Albers, Oskar Fischinger, László Moholy-Nagy, Wassily Kandinsky, Xanti Schawinsky, Oskar Schlemmer and Andor Weininger―alongside images of those numerous American artists impacted by the Bauhaus legacy, such as Merce Cunningham, Robert Rauschenberg, Sol LeWitt and Barbara Kasten.
Seit Neuestem beherbergt das Kunstmuseum Pablo Picasso die größte Matisse-Sammlung Deutschlands, die zuvor 60 Jahre lang in einem Pariser Banksafe der Matisse-Erbengemeinschaft lagerte.
Insgesamt 121 Werke decken alle Ausdrucksmöglichkeiten im Schaffen des großen Meisters der klassischen Moderne ab, darunter Holzschnitte, Lithografien, Radierungen, Linolschnitte und Aquatinten. Die Grafiken dokumentieren rund 50 Schaffensjahre von Matisse: vom frühesten Blatt von 1906 bis zum spätesten aus dem Jahr 1952, ergänzt um zehn Malerbücher des Künstlers.
In der Publikation stehen die Arbeitsweise und der Werkprozess im Mittelpunkt. Neben den Werken auf Papier werden Gemälde, Skulpturen, ein Scherenschnitt und Tapisserien aus internationalen Museen und Privatsammlungen präsentiert.
