“I am not aiming to provoke. For me, art is a possibility to
defend myself, to retaliate.” Gottfried Helnwein’s (b. 1948)
paintings of children are both touching and disturbing. The
hyperrealistic character of his images serves to intensify this
effect still further. The vulnerable and defenseless child serves
as the central motif in the artist’s examination of the themes of
pain, injury and violence. The catalogue provides an overview of
his creative work during the past twenty years. The child in
Helnwein’s works embodies and serves as proxy for psycho logical
and societal fears. The artist also uses his images to denounce
Nazism or to address the Holocaust as well as the taboo subject of
abuse. Helnwein is considered a provocateur to this day. He still
succeeds in shaking up people with his works, which are produced
from photographic references and which captivate us through their
technical perfection.
The Italian-American artist Francesco Clemente (b. 1952) is one of
the main representatives of the postmodern Transavantgarde and Arte
Cifra, the Italian version of Neo-Expressionism. Among his
extensive oeuvre, the publication focuses on Clemente’s major
works series. Clemente’s life spent in Europe, India, and New
York has lent a remarkably multifaceted quality to both his art and
his character. Indian culture and philosophy as well as the human
body are recurring themes rendered in his figurative,
Neo-Expressionist style. This volume guides through Clemente’s
pastels, watercolors, gouaches, and printed graphics, including
such major series as The Departure of the Argonaut, the From the
Terreiro pastels, the Amalfi watercolors, and The Tarots, as well
as his self-portraits, which have a quality all their own.
Hermann Nitsch produced his first "poured" paintings around 1960.
In this form of action painting, the artist is primarily concerned
with the substance of the paint, which he investigates from one
Painting Action to the next. This catalog illustrates the
development of his painterly works from the early 1960s to the
present day. The main focus of the content lies in the
characteristics of the various work cycles. In addition to the
first "splatter" paintings it shows floor "splatter" paintings from
the Red Cycle (1995), works from the Six-Day Play (1989) or the
yellow Resurrection Cycle (2002). While one colour dominates in the
monochrome works, in others a real explosion of colours takes
place. The paint is splattered or sprayed; it may be applied in
liquid form or impasto. The artist may use a paintbrush or smear
the paint with his hands. The focal point is the exploration of the
state of the paint, which varies between liquid and solid.
Xenia Hausner ranks among the most important Austrian painters of
our time. This splendid volume focuses on the aspect of stagecraft
which characterizes all her works. Starting from the early
paintings of the 1990s up to her moving Exiles series, the
publication lures us into a female world filled with mysterious
interpersonal relationships. Hausner’s painting begins in
photography. The artist constructs three-dimensional settings in
her studio beforehand, and records details from them, similar to
film stills. Translated into painting, her images generate a
dramaturgical moment of tension, in which everything seems to push
towards the image that follows the one that is shown, in order to
reveal its enigma. Through the staging in her works – the record
of a painted lie – one experiences the contradictions of our
existence and an alternative to male-dominated pictorial language.
The Jablonka Collection is regarded as one of the highest-profile
repositories of American and German art of the 1980s. In this
catalogue the art dealer, gallerist and curator Rafael Jablonka
(*1951) provides for the first time an insight into his
wide-ranging collection, which is dedicated primarily to artists of
his own generation. Rafael Jablonka has collected art for decades
according to the basic principle of assembling multiple works from
the different creative phases of artists. With some 120 works
-paintings, works on paper, sculpture and installations -the
catalogue introduces the oeuvres in question and shows a
representative cross-section of the extensive Jablonka Collection,
which was presented to the Albertina on permanent loan in 2019.
The first of Deutsche Bank Collection's new exhibition series,
presented at 'PalaisPopulair' in Berlin, is dedicated to the
fascinating artistic medium of paper. The World on Paper shows how
the everyday and at the same time sensual material paper opens up
surprising possibilities, even in an era of innovative
technologies. The publication also documents the fact that works on
paper in particular give rise to connections with other media and
hence visualise current art in all its breadth. Artists: Doug
Aitken, Josef Albers, Georg Baselitz, Joseph Beuys, Hanne Darboven,
Ellen Gallagher, Hermann Glöckner, Katharina Grosse, Eva Hesse,
Anish Kapoor, William Kentridge, Martin Kippenberger, Imi Knoebel,
Maria Lassnig, Markus Lüpertz, Heinz Mack, Helen Marten, Joan
Mitchell, Takashi Murakami, Wangechi Mutu, Bruce Nauman, Blinky
Palermo, Sigmar Polke, Neo Rauch, Gerhard Richter, James
Rosenquist, Karin Sander, Kara Walker, Andy Warhol, Lawrence
Weiner, et. al. Text in English and German.

The wall was his passion. If we look at urban walls with the eyes
of Burhan Dogancay, a completely different world opens up: half -
ripped posters on rough brickwork, covered in graffiti,
scribblings, messages, signs, stickers. From this rich stock of
struct ures, signs and symbols the artist created his wall
fragments, his "Urban Walls". Dogancay (1929 - 2013) was born in
Istanbul and settled in New York in 1964, where he moved within the
art scene around Robert Rauschenberg und Jasper Johns. His subject
is the visual perception of texture, place and memory, which he
researches in serial wor ks. For his "Urban Walls" he records house
walls and facades all over the world in a variety of media, using a
wide range of materials and techniques such as photography, collage
and painting. His works are archives of past decades which capture
the spirit of the times. From the 1970s and 1980s he progresses
from these works to develop his "Ribbons" - calligraphic paintings
of poetic charm.
