Bøker av Klaus Albrecht Schroder

Katharina Grosse (* 1961) schafft in drei historischen Räumlichkeiten der Albertina begehbare Kunstwerke. Die vibrierenden Farbfelder breiten sich auf Wand, Decke und Boden aus, überschreiten räumliche und gedankliche Grenzen. Sie überwältigen durch ihre Kraft, Intensität und die schiere Größe. Der Katalog dokumentiert die dreidimensionale Bildwelt mit detailreichen Installationsfotos und Bildern aus dem Atelier. Expansion und permanente Grenzüberschreitung, Freiheit und Autonomie bilden die Grundpfeiler von Grosses OEuvre. Wie das wilde Denken ist ihr Schaffen experimentell und unberechenbar. Zahlreiche Fotos aus dem privaten Archiv der Künstlerin bieten Einblick in Ihre Arbeitsweise, Inspirationsquellen und Ideenfindungsprozesse.

The German painter, draftsman, and graphic artist Martin Noël (b. Berlin, 1956; d. Bonn, 2010) played a leading role in reviving the linocut and the woodcut, two techniques that had long been eclipsed by other media. In his large-format works on paper, he staked out a widely regarded and distinctive position in contemporary art. Released on occasion of the retrospective of his oeuvre at the Albertina, Vienna, this book presents an overview of the most important periods in the artist's creative evolution, with an emphasis on the woodcut carved into the printing plate and the woodblock's subsequent emancipation as an art object in its own right. Particular attention is paid to the application of ink to the surface and its painterly structure as well as the picture's migration from object to canvas. The resulting paintings are exemplary of Noël's late oeuvre.Martin Noël studied graphic art and painting at what is now the Cologne University of Arts and Sciences. His art garnered numerous prizes and other honors, including fellowships from Kunststiftung NRW, Stiftung Kunstfonds, and Letter Stiftung.
