Book SynopsisThe Reich autobahns and their relics are probably the greatest structural heritage of the Nazi era. They were staged extensively in the media: photo competitions captured attractive stretches of road, feature films used the RAB as a backdrop, illustrated books, radio reports and documentaries were published, stamp series, poems, songs and board games were published. And finally the Reichsautobahn was painted, among others by Carl Theodor Protzen. Protzen exhibited most of the works on this subject at the Great German Art Exhibitions and after 1945 his work Straßen des Führers (1939) was usually the only motorway painter to be seen in all major exhibitions of so-called Nazi art in the Federal Republic. Anke Gröner is the first to deal with the still almost completely unexplored artist and at the same time with the motif of the Reichsautobahn, which was the only new subject that Nazi art produced. This, too, has hitherto not been worth considering in detail in art history; the book lays the foundations for performers, exhibitions, buyers, and selling prices.

Hirmer Verlag Georg Forster: The South Seas at Wörlitz
Book SynopsisAt the age of seventeen Georg Forster embarked on a voyage around the world with the famous Captain James Cook. Shortly after his return in 1775 the explorer met the open-minded Prince Franz of Dessau and his consort Louise in London.They returned home with a rich collection of objects, as the unique Wörlitz South Seas Collection proves to this day.While Captain Cook went off to measure the world, Georg Forster as his father’s scientific assistant and the naturalist artist on board explored recently discovered coastlines and islands including New Zealand and New Caledonia, Tahiti and Tonga. Three years later he spent two weeks in Wörlitz, where he reported on his voyage in the spirit of the Enlightenment. This volume, lavishly filled with plates, historic paintings and drawings as well as interesting quotations by Forster and his contemporaries conjures up the world of Polynesia with objects from the South Seas including the grass skirt of a Tahitian dancer, two maces from Tonga and an axe of jade-green nephrite from New Zealand.

Hirmer Verlag Van Gogh, Cézanne, Matisse, Hodler: The Hahnloser
Book SynopsisThe Hahnloser Collection was created in the early twentieth century in close friendly exchange between the collectors Arthur and Hedy Hahnloser-Bühler and their famous artist friends. The book provides with some 120 works an overview of this unique international collection of Modernist art as well as illustrating its exemplary cultural-political character. The catalogue sheds light on the collectors’ close contact with their artist friends including Pierre Bonnard, Ferdinand Hodler, Henri Matisse and Felix Vallotton.

Today the collection is largely in the possession of the collectors’ heirs or has been donated to the art museums of Bern and Winterthur.

Hirmer Verlag Modigliani: The Primitivist Revolution
Book SynopsisAmedeo Modigliani (1884–1920) moved to Paris as a 22-year-old art student and is regarded as probably the last true bohémien in Montmartre. The exhibition catalogue to mark the 100th anniversary of his death shows him for the first time as a leading member of the avant-garde who carried the revolution of Primitivism well into the 20th century. Modigliani’s famous nudes, unusual portraits and unique sculptures are contrasted with works by Pablo Picasso, Constantin Brâncusi and André Derain as well as artefacts from so-called “primitive” cultures. In doing so the volume focuses in particular on Modigliani’s lifelong study of the art of Primitivism, which also interested the artist friends who influenced his work. Some 100 works are on view, including numerous main works by Modigliani from the great museums and most important private collections from America to Asia.Trade Review"Modigliani - Picasso: The Primitivist Revolution is the type and quality of a project one would expect to accompany an exhibition that honors an artist of Modigliani’s caliber on the occasion of the centenary of his death." * New York Journal of Books *

Hirmer Verlag Paula Modersohn-Becker
Book SynopsisNo other artist of Classical Modernism has achieved a similar mythical status to that of Paula Modersohn-Becker. At the same time, the view of her work is often distorted by clichés. This comprehensive publication pays particular attention to the progressive nature of Modersohn’s works, in which this early representative of the avant-garde defied all social and artistic conventions. How and why did Paula Modersohn-Becker succeed in creating iconic pictures which continue to move and fascinate viewers today? The remarkable radicalism of her attitude and her works, her stylistic modernity and almost photographic lingering on details can be seen in succinct series and pictorial subjects showing her individual treatment of colour and form and her style. The breadth of her opulently presented oeuvre, created within a period of not quite a single decade, extends from self-portraits, early nudes, portraits, pictures of children and representations of mother and child and peasants to still lifes and landscapes which impress through their timeless directness.

Prestel Lina Bo Bardi: Habitat
Book SynopsisLina Bo Bardi is regarded as one of the most important architects in Brazil’s history. Beginning her career as a Modernist architect in Rome, Bo Bardi and her husband emigrated to Brazil following the end of WWII. Bo Bardi quickly resumed her practice in her adopted homeland with architecture that was both modern and firmly rooted in the culture of Brazil. In 1951 she designed “Casa de Vidro” (“Glass House”), her first built work, where she and her husband would live for the rest of their lives. She also designed the Museu de Arte de São Paulo (São Paulo Art Museum), a landmark of Latin American modernist architecture which opened in 1968. It was for this museum she created the iconic glass easel display system, which remains radical to date. This book presents a comprehensive record of Bo Bardi’s overarching approach to art and architecture and shows how her exhibition designs, curatorial projects, and writing informed her spatial designs. Essays on Bo Bardi’s life and work accompany archival material such as design sketches and writings by the artist, giving new insight into the conceptual and material processes behind this radical thinker and creator’s projects.
