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

A 'vessel for living' - such were the words Glenn Adamson used to
describe this remarkable residence. Richard Meier designed the
Grotta home to house Sandra and Louis Grotta's collection of
contemporary studio jewellery and significant works in wood,
ceramic and fibre. The building was conceived around the
collection, framing the objects within the open architecture, which
comprises an equal blend of glass and concrete. Nature, visible
from many vantage points, plays an essential supporting role. The
Grotta Home by Richard Meier: A Marriage of Architecture and Craft
is rich in photographs of the collection and provides impressive
insights into this exceptionally personal project. The accompanying
essays afford the reader a greater sense of how the Grottas have
not simply acquired art, but have immersed themselves in it.
Thorvald Hellesen (1888-1937) was a Norwegian avant-garde artist
who lived and worked in Paris in the 1910s and 1920s. He and his
wife, the French artist Helene Perdriat, were part of a circle of
artists that included Pablo Picasso, Fernand Leger, Constantin
Brancusi, Piet Mondrian, Theo van Doesburg, and many others. In his
short yet intense life, Thorvald Hellesen created an impressive
unique oeuvre, oriented on Modernism, consisting of oil paintings,
watercolours, gouaches, drawings, design projects, and textiles.
Nevertheless, even in Norway he is only known to a few. With this
publication the authors Dag Blakkisrud, Matthew Drutt, and Hilde
Morch have created a written portrait of Hellesen. In addition to
classifying him within the history of art, they try to find
explanations as to why his artistic practice is only now being
considered important and interesting for Norwegian and
international art history. Text in Norwegian.
