His mostly precisely composed, large-format paintings, with
deserted spaces as their main motif, made Ben Willikens (*1939)
famous in the second half of the 1970s. The exhibition and
accompanying catalogue present nearly 50 works created between 1971
and 2021 and thus span the artist’s entire oeuvre. Three groups
of works form the central pillars: the Anstaltsbilder of the 1970,
in whose motifs Willikens processes a dark chapter in his life, and
the series ORTE (PLACES) And ORTE 2 (PLACES 2), which deal with
Willikens’s examination of the architecture of the National
Socialist period. There are also various works from the series
Räume der Moderne (Spaces of Modernity). Text in English and
German.
This volume, published on occasion of the 200th anniversary of the
Academy of Fine Arts in Munich, provides a comprehensive history of
this institution, which is connected with such names as Wilhelm
Leibl, Wassily Kandinsky, Giorgio de Chirico, Franz Marc, Paul Klee
and Guenther Baselitz, but did also experience periods of lesser
significance. A catalogue provides an overview of the academy's
collections in color photographs. German text.
