Josef Albers is widely recognized as a crucial figure in 20th-century art, both as an independent practitioner and as a teacher at the Bauhaus, Black Mountain College and Yale University. Albers made paintings, drawings and prints and designed furniture and typography. Arguably the least familiar aspect of his extraordinary career was his inventive engagement with photography, only widely known after his death, including his production of approximately 70 photocollages that feature photographs he made at the Bauhaus between 1928 and 1932. These works anticipate concerns that he would pursue throughout his career--the effects of adjacency, the exploration of color through white, black and gray, and the delicate balance between handcraft and industrial and mechanical form. Albers's photographs were first shown at MoMA in a modest exhibition in 1987, when the Museum acquired two photocollages. In 2015 the Museum acquired ten additional photocollages, making its collection the most substantial anywhere outside the Albers Foundation. This publication reproduces each of the photocollages Albers made at the Bauhaus, presenting the scope of this achievement for the first time. An introductory essay by Sarah Hermanson Meister situates them within the contexts of modernist photography, the Bauhaus ethos and of Albers's own practice--David Zwirner Books (viewed on November 11, 2016)
The history of LEGO from its early days making yo-yos and other wooden toys (which continued until the 1960s), a record of its toys, including the famous building bricks and Duplo and how it has adapted to the changing toy market e.g. bringing in licensed products such as Star Wars and Harry Potter.
Das Jahr 1967 war folgenreich: Kalifornier erinnern den Aufstieg der Hippie-Bewegung in Los Angeles und San Francisco, deutsche Zeitgenossen wiederum die Entstehung der RAF und die Fans zeitgenössischer Photographie eine maßgebliche Photoausstellung im Museum of Modern Art, New York: Kurator John Szarkowski stellte unter dem Titel New Documents drei Photographen – Diane Arbus, Lee Friedlander und Garry Winogrand – mit jeweils etwa dreißig Werken in einer Gemeinschaftsausstellung vor, die in die sozialdokumentarische Photographie der Zukunft einen kühleren Ton einbringen sollte. Mit New Documents war die noch von Edward Steichen propagierte Family of Man-Stimmung der Photographie endgültig Vergangenheit. New Documents reiste durch die Museen der Vereinigten Staaten, die Ausstellung wie die drei beteiligten Photographen erlangten Kultstatus. Der Erfolg war umso erstaunlicher, als keinerlei Budget für einen Katalog vorhanden war. Zum 50. Jubiläum wird diese Unterlassungssünde nun gesühnt. In Zusammenarbeit mit dem MoMA legt Schirmer/Mosel die deutschsprachige Ausgabe des Katalogs vor, mit allen Bildern und vielen Dokumenten zu dieser sagenumwobenen Ausstellung, die der Gegenwartsphotographie eine neue Richtung gab. Von den drei Photographen ist heute nur noch Lee Friedlander unter uns, er lebt 82-jährig in New York City.
