The focus of the anniversary publication consists of the 480 acquisitionsof Brucke artists' works for the Brucke Museum by Magdalena M. Moellerover the course of the last 25 years. These are dominated by theworks of Kirchner (223 acquisitions) and Heckel (93 works).
The book is the catalog of the exhibition held in Florence from October 15 th to January 6 th, 2013. It reproduces a mostly unpublished selection of about 150 portraits from the Fund Annigoni (Ente Cassa di Risparmio di Firenze), from the Guelpa Foundation and from other public and private collections. The volume shows us the painter through his self-portraits and the various subjects he chose: professional artists, everyday life figures, landscapes and villas, saints, relatives, friends and even famous people. In fact, Pietro Annigoni rose to worldwide fame after realizing the portrait of Queen Elizabeth of England in 1954; from that year on, many famous personalities from all over the world began asking him to be immortalized. Since 1949, the Florentine painter spent long periods working in the UK, realizing the portraits of the Queen Mother, of the Duke of Edinburgh and of Princess Margaret, all acclaimed by public and critics. The catalog also contains many curiosities never seen before, including one of the sketches that the artist made for the study of the portrait of Pope John XXIII commissioned in 1962 by the magazine -Times-, and a sketch for the portrait of President Lyndon Johnson, which appeared on the cover of the same magazine in April 1968. Texts by Sabrina Baldanza, Emanuele Barletti, Paola Caleri, Giuseppe Cardillo, Arabella Cifani, Thyge Christian Fons, Franco Monetti, Michela Morelli, Pekka Tarkka, Emanuela Torriani."
In the same month that the single issue of the only official New York Dada magazine was published, April 1921, the Socie te Anonyme arranged a formal session to discuss the question "What is Dada?" This volume attempts to address that question through a series of engaging essays by such well-known New York Dada scholars as Martin Gaughan, Estera Milman, Ruth L. Bohan, Dickran Tashjian, Naomi Sawelson-Gorse, Michel Sanouillet, David Hopkins and Dafydd Jones. |
