Dan Reeder: Art Pussies Fear<br />
this Book<br />
Moderne kunsT nürnberG<br />
Text by Thomas heyden, karl bruckmaier.<br />
over the past 25 years, the american-born, nuremberg-based<br />
painter and musician Dan reeder (born<br />
1954) has amassed some 1,000 paintings, watercolors,<br />
posters, drawings and prints humorously (and sometimes<br />
satirically) depicting the follies of twenty-firstcentury<br />
humankind. operating on the motto “I paint<br />
what I am thinking,” reeder pokes gentle fun at all<br />
walks of life, and all the foibles of mankind—from a<br />
portrait of an academic being led into an arid landscape<br />
by a walking cerebellum (title: “mister Brain<br />
leads another Doktor professor into the desert<br />
where nothing can live”) to numerous images<br />
satirizing art, the art world and art history. as many<br />
of these works attest, reeder is also not afraid to<br />
laugh at himself (see his “Self portrait as a Shaved<br />
goat on a Short rope”). reeder’s deliberately<br />
awkward paintings, which occupy a deliberately<br />
awkward place in the art world, are both modest and<br />
scornful, melancholic and euphoric. this volume<br />
offers a first overview of his work, which fans of<br />
David Shrigley will particularly enjoy.<br />

Corinne Wasmuht: Collagen<br />
1986–2001<br />
Moderne kunsT nürnberG<br />
Text by Georg fröhner, klaus Gallwitz, edith<br />
schreiner.<br />
this volume gathers 15 years of collage work by german<br />
artist Corinne Wasmuht (born 1964). Wasmuht’s<br />
collages are made from materials she collects on a daily<br />
basis—newspapers, magazines, labels and packaging.<br />
In one work, Wasmuht discovers rhyming shapes<br />
between a soldier and a roman statue; others place<br />
actual events beside their counterparts in the movies.<br />

Max Neumann<br />
kerber<br />
edited by Thomas Levy. Text by herwig Guratzsch.<br />
german painter max neumann (born 1949) turns the<br />
human figure into a symbol, abstracting his subjects<br />
into outlines and silhouettes. Splashes of color suggest<br />
the preoccupations of these somber characters: a<br />
red bird, a yellow dot, a green wash of pooling water.<br />
this monograph collects works from 2009 to 2011.<br />

With her monumental, epic paintings—including the<br />
cycles Event (2008), Half After (2009), The Thingly<br />
Character (2010) and Stage Disasters (2012)—Helen<br />
verhoeven’s work appears to examine the collective<br />
memory of ceremonial gatherings. She paints a<br />
burlesque world, reminiscent of the Weimar period,<br />
without social norms and in which taboos are<br />
explored. this is the first monograph on her work.<br />

Text by Maryam ekhtiar, Greg Lindquist.<br />
Born in tehran but raised in the U.S., ali Banisadr<br />
(born 1976) once remarked that his childhood memories,<br />
particularly of the Islamic revolution, were a mix of<br />
recognizable and abstract images. the recent works<br />
in this catalogue, inspired by the art of the persian<br />
miniature, similarly swarm with characters that<br />
oscillate between abstract and figurative.<br />

Ilya kabakov, ulrich krempel.<br />
Since about 2000, Ilya Kabakov has been slowly turning<br />
away from the installation pieces for which he is<br />
best known to return to his first medium, painting,<br />
with which he addresses personal experiences from<br />
the recent past as well as his childhood in Stalin’s Soviet<br />
Union. this catalogue presents 60 paintings and<br />
three models for unfinished installations.<br />
