Brigitte Hausmann Bücher

Neo Rauchs Werk transformiert die Außenwelt und schöpft zugleich in außerordentlichem Maß aus der Innenwelt und der vom Unter- und Unbewussten gespeisten Imagination des Künstlers. Die Publikation präsentiert rund 100 großformatig abgebildete und zumeist vierfarbige Papierarbeiten aus dem Privatbesitz des Malers, die mehrheitlich nach 2000 entstanden, viele davon aus den letzten zehn Jahren. Ein aktuelles Künstlerinterview sowie die anschauliche Aufschlüsselung seiner Werke ermöglichen einen frischen Zugang zu diesem singulären Œuvre.

New York as the New Center of FluxusAfter the start in Germany in the 1960s, New York became the hub of decentralized activities of the Fluxus movement; many Fluxus artists lived there either permanently or temporarily, numerous events took place there, and many projects were initiated there worldwide. The key figure was George Maciunas (1931-1978), who had a strong influence on theory, program and aesthetics. The exhibits in the exhibition convey the diverse activities of the Fluxus artists and the great generator of ideas and tireless organizer George Maciunas during the New York period. Most of them come from the estate of the avant-garde filmmaker Jonas Mekas, who was a friend of Maciunas' and ended up in the Noartcollect via the Merrill C. Berman Collection. The accompagnying exhibition catalogue offers a deep dive into the world of Fluxus. With essays by Thomas Kellein and Dorthee Richter as well as a foreward by Brigitte Hausman.
