Albert Anker. Reading Girls

Reading girls have been and remain a sign that a society invests in the education of women and thus seeks to improve their economic and social status. Albert Anker (1831–1910) was not only concerned with the education of children as a politician; as a painter he also often represented girls and young women reading and writing.

Gurlitt Status Report

Otto Dix, Franz Marc, Emil Nolde, Paul Cézanne, Vasily Kandinsky and Claude Monet – when over 1,000 artworks by outstanding artists of the modern era appeared on the scene in 2012, the find was celebrated as a sensation, though the suspicion that it might be art looted by the Nazis also reared its head. This extensive, lavishly illustrated publication documents for the first time a selection of works from the estate of the art dealer Hildebrand Gurlitt and examines the turbulent story of the ‘Gurlitt art trove’.

Meret Oppenheim. My Exhibition

Exhibition catalogue Meret Oppenheim. My Exhibition

The Swiss artist Meret Oppenheim (1913–1985) may be best known for her fur-lined teacup of 1936, but her legacy encompasses much more than this notorious Surrealist object. Over the course of some sixty years Oppenheim produced a dizzying range of unconventional paintings, drawings, sculptures, collages, and assemblages. She engaged with witty wordplay, celestial bodies, and the heroine of a fable from the High Middle Ages, and employed unusual materials such as saws, almonds, and ornate picture frames. Only the force of her creative vision held together her freewheeling and singular artistic practice: “Nobody will give you freedom,” Oppenheim said, “you have to take it.”

Published in conjunction with the first major transatlantic retrospective of Oppenheim’s career, Meret Oppenheim: My Exhibition. Essays by curators Nina Zimmer, Natalie Dupêcher, and Anne Umland.

Eds. Nina Zimmer, Kunstmuseum Bern; Natalie Dupêcher, The Menil Collection Houston; Anne Umland, The Museum of Modern Art, New York. Essays by Natalie Dupêcher, Nina Zimmer and Anne Umland with Lee Colón. English, 188 pages, 191 images., 23 × 27 cm, hardback, MoMA Publishing. The German Edition by Hirmer Publishers is available here
