§ 615 BGB wird nahezu einhellig als sog. Anspruchserhaltungsnorm eingeordnet. Sie erhält den Vergütungsanspruch des Dienstleistungsschuldners in Ausnahme zu § 326 Abs. 1 S. 1 BGB aufrecht. Ob diese - bislang kaum hinterfragte - Einordnung zutreffend ist, stellt Katarina Kolak auf den Prüfstand. Sie unternimmt den Versuch, ein neuartiges Erklärungskonzept für die systematische Einordnung und Rechtsnatur der Norm zu entwickeln. Dazu beleuchtet sie das systematische Verständnis der Norm sowohl rechtshistorisch als auch unter dem Blickwinkel allgemeiner leistungsstörungsrechtlicher Grundlagen. Die Autorin gelangt zu dem Ergebnis, dass es sich bei § 615 S. 1 bzw. S. 3 BGB um eine eigenständige Anspruchsgrundlage handelt, die die Geltendmachung des vertraglichen Vergütungsanspruchs unter Durchbrechung der synallagmatischen Verknüpfung von Dienstleistungs- und Vergütungspflicht ermöglicht.

Martin Kippenberger (1953–1997) is considered one of the outstanding artists of the 1980s and 1990s. One of the artist’s greatest related bodies of work, Medusa, was produced one year before his death. In over 80 works he addresses Theodore Géricault’s narrative painting The Raft of the Medusa (1819). In this critical, historical analysis the body of work is for the first time set within the context of the entire oeuvre, its evolution is extensively traced and Kippenberger's reception of Géricault's salon painting is examined in detail. Medusa illustrates much more complex dimensions than simply the metaphorization of the artist’s personal situation. Kippenberger translates Géricault's painting into the present day and in doing so reviews a shipwreck.

In the postwar era, design became important as a marker of modernity and progress at world fairs and international exhibitions and in the global markets. The Belgian state took a special interest in this vanguard phenomenon of 'industrial design' as a vital political and economic strategic tool in the context of the Cold War and the creation of the European community. This book describes the unique position that design occupied in the political context of postwar Belgium as it analyses the public promotion of design between 1950 and 1986. It traces this process, from the first government-backed manifestations and institutions in the 1950s through the 1960s and 1970s, until design lost its privileged position as a state-backed institution, a process which culminated in the closure of the Brussels Design Centre in 1986, in the midst of the Belgian federalization process. A key figure in this history is the policymaker Josine des Cressonni res, who played a leading role in the national and international design community and succeeded in connecting very different political worlds through the medium of design.
