Color in Flux examines how artists
have dealt with free-flowing colour
since the time of Jackson Pollock.
A common thread in this exhibition
is an unorthodox history of art
that deals with colour, and critical
and political aspects of colour
that is actually in flux. The works
of leading proponents of Abstract
Expressionism and colour-field
painting are combined with more
contemporary works. On the one
hand, colour is seen as a means of
expression as understood in terms
of Modernism; on the other, a more
conceptual, sometimes antipainterly,
approach to colour applies. All
works are accompanied by detailed
analyses. Published on the occasion
of the exhibition Color in Flux, 10

Sven Drühl
Strategies against
architectures
text by Belinda Grace Gardner
edited by Thomas Levy
Sven Drühl breaks down visual
forms and types conceptually from
the Romantic period to the present
day. He recombines the constituent
parts using his own motifs in a remix
process. Drühl responds to the
crisis of expression in post-modern
painting with this transformative
citation but does not quite give up
on painting himself. His involvement
with art history and his continuing
investigation of painting as a medium
is too important to him. His series of
paintings are therefore fascinating
copies that motivate the viewer to
question perception and at the same
time ultra-sensual, impressive new
creations. Published to accompany
the exhibition at LEVY Hamburg, 16
January – 22 March 2012.

European Identities is the theme of
the first, newly launched European
Photo Exhibition Award. This joint
initiative by the Fondazione Banca
del Monte di Lucca, the Fundaçao
Calouste Gulbenkian, the Fritt Ord
Foundation and the Körber-Stiftung
commissioned 12 selected young
photographers from Europe to
produce photo essays around this
theme. European Identities gets to
the heart of an extremely topical
debate. This volume brings together
the works of the participants in
a kaleidoscope of very different
perspectives and positions, which will
subsequently be exhibited as part
of a touring exhibition in galleries
throughout Europe and at festivals
such as Paris Photo.

Frauenzimmer
artists: Carol Bove, Isa Genzken, Karla Black,
Kitty Kraus, Sara Barker, Tatiana Trouvé,
Thea Djordjadze
texts by Lilian Haberer, Stefanie Kreuzer
preface by Markus Heinzelmann
The exhibition Frauenzimmer
and this accompanying catalogue
present works by seven women
who work in the field of conceptual
sculpture, with diverse approaches
to sculpture and installation while
still demonstrating a broad range of
aspects in common. In addition to
situative and process-focused works
that clearly display the process of
their production, other works are
presented that are characterised
by careful research into materials
and found objects as well as into
everyday materials. The artists –
some created works especially for
Museum Morsbroich, others adapted
existing works – examine issues like
the presentation, contextualisation
and decontextualisation of space.
Published on the occasion of the
exhibition at Museum Morsbroich,
Leverkusen, Germany, 11 September
– 13 November 2011.

Douglas Gordon
texts by Susanne Gaensheimer, Michael Fried,
Klaus Gorner, Caoimhin Mac Giolla Leith
edited by Klaus Görner, Susanne
Gaensheimer
Douglas Gordon is one of the
most influential British artists of
his generation and is renowned
internationally for his films and
photographs but particularly also for
his video and sound installations.
This catalogue was published with
the close cooperation of the Turner
Prize winning artist and shows his
latest works in the context of his
earlier oeuvre. Gordon addresses
the master pattern of perception
in his great works, weaving in
and reflecting on a wide variety of
issues from personal biography,
music, collective memory and
everyday culture. The installations
are documented in opulent series of
pictures and accompanied by erudite
texts and an interview with the artist.

edited by Eva-Maria Fahrner-Tutsek
Human beings yearn to give
expression to love and the pain
of love in art. Over the centuries,
literature, music, painting and
sculpture have reflected these eternal
endeavours. In recent decades glass
has developed as an interesting
artistic material with sculptures on
abstract themes replacing the more
traditional bowls or vases. Based on
the theme In the Name of Love, this
publication presents contemporary
sculptures by international artists who
use glass in their work. Published
on the occasion of the exhibition at
Alexander Tutsek-Stiftung, Munich,
Germany, 2012.
