An exploration by an artist and writer duo of a fundamental
constant in the history of humankind: rage, and its impact on the
world. Rage and obstinacy are close relatives—and fundamental
categories in the work of both Georg Baselitz and Alexander Kluge.
In World-Changing Rage, these two accomplished German creators
explore links and fractures between two cultures through two media:
ink and watercolor on paper, and the written word. Â The long
history of humankind is also a history of rage, fury, and wrath. In
this book, Baselitz and Kluge explore the dynamism of rage and its
potential to rapidly grow and erupt into blazing protests,
revolution, and war. The authors also reflect the melancholy
archetype of the Western hero (and his deconstruction) against the
very different heroic ethos of the Japanese antipodes. More
powerful than rage, they argue, is wit, as displayed in the work of
Japanese master painter Katsushika Hokusai. In this volume,
Baselitz repeatedly draws an image of Hokusai, depicting him with
an outstretched finger, as if pointing towards Europe in a mixture
of rage, wrath, irony, and laughter, all-too-fleetingly evident in
his expression. A unique collaboration between two of the world’s
leading intellectuals, World-Changing Rage will leave every reader
with a deeper appreciation of the human condition.
On the occasion of his 85th birthday the famous international
German artist Georg Baselitz (*1938) has donated a collection of
works on paper to both the Albertina Museum in Vienna and the
Morgan Library in New York. The publication combines the 100 sheets
to create a representative retrospective, providing by virtue of
its concentration an important contribution to the understanding of
his entire oeuvre. The two extensive sets of drawings and
watercolours date from different creative phases from the early
1960s to the present day. Through this direct medium the works
provide an intimate insight into the artist’s creative process
across the past five decades. An interview with Georg Baselitz
conducted to mark this publication provides information about the
significance of the works on paper in the genesis of his works and
within his oeuvre.
Whether it's Georg Baselitz or Olafur Eliasson, Tacita Dean or
Martin Kippenberger: these are the greats who have frequented Niels
Borch Jensen's printmaking studio in Copenhagen. And they've been
coming and going for more than forty years! Not only because of his
special, farsighted expertise, which contributes to the congenial
creation of unique works of art, but also due to his wish to reject
any imposition of aesthetic limitations and to constantly attempt
new things. A look at the story of the studio and its founder,
therefore, also means taking a look through the kaleidoscope of
contemporary art history. This volume is an excursion behind the
scenes at the famous printmaking workshop. Exclusive artist
interviews and the personal recollections of Niels Borch Jensen
offer intriguing insights into the craft of printmaking and the
collaborations with epoch-making artists.
