Piet Mondrian had a decisive influence on the development of
painting from figuration to abstraction. On the occasion of his
150th birthday, Mondrian Evolution is dedicated to his multifaceted
work and artistic development. Initially working in the tradition
of Dutch landscape painting of the late 19th century, Symbolism and
Cubism subsequently took on great significance for him. It was not
until the early 1920s that the artist focused on a wholly
non-representational pictorial vocabulary, limited to the
rectangular arrangement of black lines with surfaces in white and
the primary colors blue, red and yellow. In separate chapters, this
path is traced through motifs such as windmills, dunes, and the
sea, farms reflected in the water, and plants in various forms of
abstraction.
The first African-American artist to attain art superstardom,
Jean-Michel Basquiat (1960-1988) created a huge oeuvre of drawings
and paintings (Julian Schnabel recalls him once accidentally
leaving a portfolio of about 2,000 drawings on a subway car) in the
space of just eight years. Through his street roots in graffiti,
Basquiat helped to establish new possibilities for figurative and
expressionistic painting, breaking the white male stranglehold of
Conceptual and Minimal art, and foreshadowing, among other
tendencies, Germany's" Junge Wilde" movement. It was not only
Basquiat's art but also the details of his biography that made his
name legendary--his early years as "Samo" (his graffiti artist
moniker), his friendships with Andy Warhol, Keith Haring and
Madonna and his tragically early death from a heroin overdose. This
superbly produced retrospective publication assesses Basquiat's
luminous career with commentary by, among others, Glenn O'Brien,
and 160 color reproductions of the work.
Jean-Michel Basquiat was born in Brooklyn, New York, to a Puerto
Rican mother and a Haitian father--an ethnic mix that meant young
Jean-Michel was fluent in French, Spanish and English by the age of
11. In 1977, at the age of 17, Basquiat took up graffiti,
inscribing the landscape of downtown Manhattan with his signature
"Samo." In 1980 he was included in the landmark group exhibition
"The Times Square Show"; the following year, at the age of 21,
Basquiat became the youngest artist ever to be invited to
Documenta. By 1982, Basquiat had befriended Andy Warhol, later
collaborating with him; Basquiat was much affected by Warhol's
death in 1987. He died of a heroin overdose on August 22, 1988, at
the age of 27.
Edward Hopper's world-famous paintings articulate an idiosyncratic
view of modern life. With his impressive subjects, independent
pictorial vocabulary, and virtuoso play of colors, Hopper continues
to influence to this day the image of the United States in the
first half of the twentieth century. He began his career as an
illustrator and became famous around the globe for his oil
paintings. They testify to his great interest in the effects of
color and his mastery in depicting light and shadow. The Fondation
Beyeler is devoting its large exhibition in the spring of 2020 to
Hopper's iconic images of the vast American landscape. The
catalogue gathers together all of the paintings, watercolors, and
drawings from the 1910s to the 1960s on display in the exhibition,
and supplements them with essays focused on the subject of
depicting landscape.
This exhibition celebrates the historic moment in the history of
modern art when Kazimir Malevich debuted his new non-objective
paintings under the banner of Suprematism and Vladimir Tatlin
introduced his revolutionary counter-relief sculptures. They were
bitter rivals and diametrically opposed in their creative thinking,
so when an exhibition in which their new works appeared, entitled
0,10: The Last Futurist Exhibition of Painting and organized by
fellow artist Ivan Puni in Petrograd in 1915, the other 12 artists
in the show chose sides. It was a stylistically diverse exhibition,
with cubist-inspired works and the first non-objective paintings
and reliefs. The Beyeler's presentation will include a large number
of the works from the original exhibition. The catalogue will
include essays by exhibition curator Matthew Drutt and other
leading scholars, as well as documents gathered together and
translated for the first time. (German edition ISBN

The portrait offers the possibility of observation and
introspection, and is at the same time one of the most private and
representative artistic genres. But what distinguishes the
specifically female gaze? On the occasion of the major fall
exhibition 2021 at Fondation Beyeler, this catalog brings together
nine women artists from Europe and America from the beginning of
modernism to the present day, whose works represent an outstanding
contribution to the history of the portrait. The individual view of
the artists on themselves and on their surroundings in the course
of time is expressed. In the catalog, renowned authors explore the
individual artists and their fascinating ways of reflecting on
themselves and on others. The featured artists are Mary Cassatt,
Marlene Dumas, Frida Kahlo, Lotte Laserstein, Paula
Modersohn-Becker, Berthe Morisot, Alice Neel, Elizabeth Peyton, and
Cindy Sherman.
For the first time in a museum exhibition-and hence, in this
catalogue-the groundbreaking work of a great innovator of
late-nineteenth-century sculpture encounters the influential work
from a protagonist of twentieth-century abstract sculpture: Auguste
Rodin meets Jean Arp. Both artists are characterized by their
unique artistic innovations and the joy of experimentation; both
strongly influenced their eras and have lost nothing of their
topicality to this day. As sculptural milestones, the creations of
Rodin and Arp illustrate in a vivid and exemplary way fundamental
aspects in the development of modern sculpture. Rodin's pioneering
ideas and new artistic ideas for sculpture were taken up by Arp and
fascinatingly developed, reinterpreted, or contrasted. Indeed, both
oeuvres exhibit numerous artistic affinities and points of
reference, which becomes a particularly revealing visual experience
in this clever juxtaposition.

He was one of the last great court artists and at the same time a
significant trailblazer for modern art: Francisco de Goya. The
Fondation Beyeler is preparing one of the most extensive
exhibitions of his work outside of Spain. In his more than
sixty-year-long career, Goya was an astute observer of the drama of
reason and irrationality, of dreams and nightmares. His pictures
show things that go beyond social conventions: he depicts saints
and criminals, witches and demons, breaking open the gates to
realms where the boundaries between reality and fantasy blur. The
show gathers more than seventy paintings, around sixty masterful
drawings, and a selection of prints that invite the viewer to an
encounter with the beautiful, as well as the incomprehensible. The
extensive catalogue examines Goya's unique artistic impact in texts
by renowned interpreters, and splendid photo galleries.

The works of the British painter Peter Doig (* 1959 in Edinburgh),
who divides his time between Trinidad, London, and New York, are
densely atmospheric and sometimes uncanny. They are often based on
found or private images, which the artist pieces together into
dreamlike compositions full of melancholy and angst. Employing an
unusual color palette and pos-sessing an immense sensitivity for
his medium, Doig creates superb images, following in the footsteps
of great masters such as Paul Gauguin, Pierre Bonnard, and Henri
Matisse. This publication presents him as an artist with a
conceptual practice-as a visual thinker who is not only fascinated
by the history of painting but also the painting process itself.
The large-format paintings and works on paper repro-duced in the
volume allow the viewer to share Doig's creative passion and his
enthusiasm for the power of paint. (German edition ISBN
