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.
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.
Amedeo Modigliani (1884-1920) moved to Paris as a 22-year-old art
student and is regarded as probably the last true bohemien in
Montmartre. The exhibition catalogue to mark the 100th anniversary
of his death shows him for the first time as a leading member of
the avant-garde who carried the revolution of Primitivism well into
the 20th century. Modigliani's famous nudes, unusual portraits and
unique sculptures are contrasted with works by Pablo Picasso,
Constantin Brancusi and Andre Derain as well as artefacts from
so-called "primitive" cultures. In doing so the volume focuses in
particular on Modigliani's lifelong study of the art of
Primitivism, which also interested the artist friends who
influenced his work. Some 100 works are on view, including numerous
main works by Modigliani from the great museums and most important
private collections from America to Asia.

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.
