Show Time initially awakens thoughts of glittering entertainment,
shiny surfaces, and fancy stunts - a world that does not really
belong in a museum. But here the title is associated with something
more literal: time being shown to us. In Sabine Gross's (*1961)
exhibition at the Museum fur Vor- und Fruhgeschichte Saarbrucken,
archaeological finds meet contemporary art for the first time. As a
professor of sculpture, Gross has specialised for many years in
this type of confrontation, practising a kind of "archaeology of
the future" in which she presents recent significant works of art
as potential archaeological objects. Published to accompany an
exhibition Sabine Gross. Show Time - Eine Archaologie der Zukunft,
which runs from 11 December 2020-7 November 2021 at Museum fur Vor-
und Fruhgeschichte, Saarbrucken, Germany. Text in English and
German.
Quite apart from her position as the wife and model of Lovis
Corinth (1858–1925), Charlotte Berend-Corinth (1880–1967) shone
as an artist and was, like Käthe Kollwitz, one of the few women
members of the Berlin Secession. This bibliophile monograph is
dedicated to the highly gifted, successful and unfairly neglected
artist and presents an impressive synopsis of her oeuvre.
Berend-Corinth pursued a remarkable career with ultra-modern,
radical subjects in the Berlin of the 1910s and 1920s until her
Jewish descent compelled her to leave Germany and to emigrate to
the United States. Her early work, in which she captured the
permissive mood of the Berlin art and theatre scene during the
1910s and 1920s, represents one main area of focus, as do the later
portraits of famous personalities of her time and some of her
remarkable self-portraits, still lifes and landscape pictures.
