JOHNSON, RAY – ASHEVILLE, BLACK MOUNTAIN COLLEGE MUSEUM
– From BMC to NYC. The Tutelary Years of Ray Johnson 1943–1967.
Catalogue ed. by Sebastian Matthews. Asheville 2010. 4to. 48 S. mit 75
meist farb. Abb., brosch.
A seminal Pop Art figure, Ray Johnson has been called the most significant
„unknown artist“ of the post-war period, a „collagist extraordinaire“ who influenced
Pop artists such as Andy Warhol and Keith Haring, as well as a generation
of contemporary artists. Since his death, however, Johnson has emerged
not only as a key member of the 1960’s generation, but as one of the
major artistic innovators of the second-half of the 20th century. The exhibition
will explore the ways that many of Johnson’s early tutelary influences,
both the people and the places, helped create his unique vision. Throughout
his career, Johnson always found ways to engage those around him – mentors,
friends and strangers alike – in a correspondence „dance“ of collage, letter
writing and interactive performance art. Following in Marcel Duchamp’s
footsteps, Johnson, as one art critic put it, „introduced life into art“

DONALD JUDD. By David Raskin. London 2010. 4to. 224 S. mit 140
(60 farb.) Abb., Ppbd.
This pioneering book, the first monograph devoted to Donald Judd, addresses
the whole breadth of Judd’s practices. Drawing on documents found in
nearly twenty archives, David Raskin explains why some of Judd’s works of
art seem startlingly ephemeral while others remain insistently physical. In
the process of answering this previously perplexing question, Raskin traces
Judd’s principles from his beginnings as an art critic through his fabulous installations
and designs in Marfa, Texas. He discusses Judd’s early important
paintings and idiosyncratic red objects, as well as the three-dimensional
works that are celebrated throughout the world. He also examines Judd’s
commitment to empirical values and his political activism, and concludes by
considering the importance of Judd’s example for recent art.

Donald Judd zog 1973 von New York nach
Marfa und hat hier bis zu seinem Tod 1994
seine Vorstellungen von Architektur und
Kunst realisiert. Er hat rund 30 Gebäude für
die Kunst so umgebaut, wie es seinen Ansprüchen
an eine richtige Form der Ausstellung entspricht. Hier hat er Werke
für den Ort geschaffen und die Arbeiten seiner Freunde und geschätzter Kollegen
installiert. Chinati zeigt diese Arbeiten auf einzigartige Weise in einer
einzigartigen Landschaft: u. a. von John Chamberlain, Dan Flavin, Claes Oldenburg
und Coosje van Bruggen, Ilya Kabakov, Richard Long, John Wesley,
Roni Horn und David Rabinowitch. Marianne Stockebrand ist seit 1994 Direktorin
der Chinati Foundation. Mit einem illustriertem Gesamtverzeichnis
