De Gruyter James Ensor
Der belgische Maler und Grafiker James Ensor (1860–1949) nimmt in der Kunstgeschichte des 20. Jahrhunderts einen besonderen Rang ein. Als „Maler der Masken" kategorisiert, stilisierte er sich selbst als Einzelgänger und Außenseiter, war aber auch Vorläufer und Impulsgeber künftiger Generationen. Die Publikation zur Ausstellung in der Kunsthalle Mannheim stellt das Schicksal eines Bildes, Die Masken und der Tod von 1897, das einst zur Sammlung gehörte, 1937 von den Nationalsozialisten beschlagnahmt wurde und sich heute im Musee des Beaux-Arts Lüttich befindet, in den Fokus. Um dieses und als Ersatz in den 1950ern erworbene Bild Stillleben mit Hahn gruppieren sich zahlreiche weitere Werke zum Motivkreis „Selbstbildnis – Maske – Tod – Stillleben", die zeigen, wie eng verflochten diese Themen in Ensors Œuvre waren.

De Gruyter Becoming CoBrA: Anfänge einer europäischen Kunstbewegung / Beginnings of a European Art Movement
CoBrA is one of the most important artist groups of Art Informel. The name is derived from the first letters of the three capital cities of Copenhagen, Brussels, and Amsterdam — the centers from which the CoBrA artists took action. Little is still known here in Germany about the concrete origins of the art movement. The exhibition and catalogue of the same name attempts a broad examination of the group’s origins: with the focus on the reconstruction of the movement prior to its official establishment in November 1948. It aims to present a representative cross-section of the movement that includes the largest possible number of artists as well as the greatest possible concentration of forms of expression and topics characteristic of the movement. Roughly fifty paintings, thirty sculptural works, fifty graphic reproductions and photographs as well as individual ceramics and textiles from international collections are presented.

De Gruyter Nan Hoover – Anneliese Hager – Maria Lassnig
Three books in one (Ger./Engl.) Nan Hoover, Anneliese Hager and Maria Lassnig are women artists who expressed themselves experimentally and innovatively in various media. They were interested in alienation effects, body perception, and reflections about time and space. All three explored Surrealism early on and found their own individual visual language in different ways: the common denominator is a preoccupation with light, space and the body, as well as the existential question of self-perception and one’s place in the world. While American Hoover was one of the pioneers of international light, video and performance art and produced a surprising painterly early oeuvre close to pop art, Hager, who is one of the most interesting female photographers of the 20th century, remains very little known. Today, Austrian painter Lassnig is one of the most important female artists of the 20th century, but she only achieved her international breakthrough late – in the 1980s. This publication, three books in one, enables readers to rediscover the three artists, or even discover them for the first time.
