Original Price: $49.95 UP TO 20% ADDITIONAL SAVINGS FOR MEMBERS By Renée Price This expansive book commemorates the fifteenth anniversary of the Neue Galerie New York and includes highlights of the museum’s collection. The Neue Galerie New York opened in November 2001, when it showcased its collection of Austrian and German art from 1890 to 1940. The museum’s Austrian holdings encompass major paintings by Gustav Klimt, Egon Schiele, Oskar Kokoschka, and Richard Gerstl. Decorative arts made by the Wiener Werkstätte (Vienna Workshops, 1903–32) are another strength of the collection. The German holdings emphasize the Expressionist movement, with canvases by members of the Brücke, including Erich Heckel, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Max Pechstein, and Karl Schmidt-Rottluff. Artists affiliated with the Blue Rider, such as Vasily Kandinsky, Paul Klee, August Macke, Franz Marc, and Gabriele Münter, figure prominently. The New Objectivity movement is represented with works by Max Beckmann, Otto Dix, George Grosz, and Christian Schad. The Bauhaus is another key area, with designs by Marcel Breuer, Marianne Brandt, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, and Wilhelm Wagenfeld.

At that time, they had already traveled to France, were familiar with French art, and admired the work of artist Paul Cezanne. Marc and Macke enjoyed a close artistic and personal friendship that had a profound impact on their work during the five years that they knew each other. They often visited each other's studios, engaged in an extensive correspondence, responded to each other's paintings, and exhibited their work side by side on numerous occasions.

He is particularly noted for his expertise in the genre of still-life painting and created works that are uncanny in their degree of verisimilitude. In the 1930s, Wacker lived in Bregenz, a city in the western part of Austria, where he was fond of frequenting the local flea market. There he acquired some of the props he used in his paintings. Wacker opposed the National Socialist movement and did not approve of the annexation of Austria by the Nazis. He was interrogated by the Gestapo in 1938 and died the following year as a result of the injuries that he sustained.

Original Price: $50.00UP TO 20% ADDITIONAL SAVINGS FOR MEMBERS Bei Tobias G. NatterDie Neue Galerie New York und die Hamburger Kunsthalle widmen den frühen Bildnissen von Oskar Kokoschka eine erste große Gesamtschau und konzentrieren sich damit auf das zentrale Werksegment der Jahre 1909 bis 1914, mit dem der Maler seinen Ruhm begründete und zur Leitfigur des Expressionismus wurde. Das Katalogbuch zur Ausstellung, herausgegeben von Tobias Natter, verbindet die Wiedergabe der frühen Bildnisse mit einfühlsamen Werkinterpretationen und Hinweisen auf die porträtierten Personen, unter denen sich zum weitaus überwiegenden Teil Freunde, Förderer und Gleichgesinnte des Malers befinden. Die Essays zeichnen ein plastisches Zeitkolorit der Metropolen Wien und Berlin unter den Vorzeichen eines tiefgreifenden Umbruchs. In Wien von dem Architekten Adolf Loos und später in Berlin von dem Herausgeber der Zeitschrift "Der Sturm", Herwald Walden, ermutigt und tatkräftig unterstützt, konnte sich Kokoschka von den malerischen Konventionen der Porträtaufträge befreien und seine eigenen expressiven Bildmittel einsetzen. Nachdenklichkeit, eindringliche Gestik der Hände und psychische Spannungen verdrängen alle posenhafte Eleganz gesellschaftlicher Repräsentation. Rascher Farbauftrag und nervöse Ritzungen greifen den Porträtierten unter die Oberfläche ihrer Haut, um ihre Physiognomien für den Blick auf innere Vorgänge durchlässig zu machen. In Kokoschkas frühen Bildnissen spiegelt sich daher nicht nur die Seele der Personen, sie sind auch Reflexe auf die abgrundtiefe Krise dieser Zeit vor dem ersten Weltkrieg.

Edvard Munch: Masterpieces of Art

Original Price: $200 UP TO 20% ADDITIONAL SAVINGS FOR MEMBERSBy Rainer Willmann and Julia Voss “…as energetic and colorful as Haeckel’s life. It’s scientific eye candy that feels as fresh as Haeckel’s groundbreaking biological art must have seemed more than a century ago.”―The Washington Post“…a glorious book… his influence on art and the natural sciences remains profound, and his stunning artworks continue to stand the test of time.”―American Scientist“This is a bible for those who love pattern.”―The Times Ernst Haeckel (1834–1919) was a German-born biologist, naturalist, evolutionist, artist, philosopher, and doctor, who spent his life researching flora and fauna from the highest mountaintops to deepest ocean. A vociferous supporter and developer of Darwin’s theories of evolution, he denounced religious dogma, abandoned an early career in medicine, authored philosophical treatises, gained a doctorate in zoology, and coined scientific terms which have passed into common usage, including ecology, phylum, and stem cell. Haeckel’s colossal legacy has fascinated, confounded, and polarized generations. But what was at the heart of his extraordinary life’s work? Rather like his intellectual forebear, Alexander von Humboldt, Haeckel was motivated not only to discover but also to explain. To do this, he created hundreds of detailed drawings, watercolors, and sketches of his findings which he published in successive volumes during the 20th century, including several marine organism collections and the majestic Kunstformen der Natur (Art Forms in Nature), which could serve as the cornerstone of Haeckel’s entire life project. Like a meticulous visual encyclopedia of living things, Haeckel’s work was as remarkable for its graphic precision and meticulous shading as for its understanding of organic evolution and cellular development. From bats to the box jellyfish, lizards to lichen, and spider legs to sea anemones, he emphasized the essential symmetries and order of nature, and found biological beauty in even the most unlikely of creatures. The prints not only furthered the study of natural history but also influenced generations of 20th-century artists and architects, from the emerging proponents of Art Nouveau to architects such as Hendrik Petrus Berlage, whose Amsterdam Commodities Exchange was inspired by Haeckel’s illustrations. In this book, we celebrate the scientific, artistic, and environmental importance of Haeckel’s work, with a collection of prints from several of his most important tomes on marine biology, including Die Radiolarien, Monographie der Medusen, Die Kalkschwämme: eine Monographie, and Kunstformen der Natur. At a time when biodiversity is increasingly threatened by human activities, the book is at once a visual masterwork, an underwater exploration, and a vivid reminder of the precious variety of life.

His work was particularly sensitive and reflected the atmosphere of fundamental change and enlightenment of his time. The charm of this shaker stems from its precisely calculated geometrical form, all superfluous decorative elements have been omitted. First Edition produces the classic designs of 19th-century Viennese silversmiths, using the original techniques pioneered by Biedermeier master craftsmen.

By Franz Kafka Translated by Ross Benjamin “Essential . . . The new volume, in a sensitive and briskly idiomatic translation by Ross Benjamin, offers revelation upon revelation. It’s an invaluable addition to Kafka’s oeuvre.”—The New York Times “Franz Kafka’s inner life has always been a bit of a mystery. The expurgated diaries in their original German and English versions hinted at his complicated, often confused relationship to sex, politics, illness, and being Jewish. This readable new translation of the complete German version of the diary transforms the silent Kafka of a century ago into a Kafka not only of his times but of ours.”—Sander Gilman, author of Franz Kafka, The Jewish PatientAn essential new translation of the author’s complete, uncensored diaries—a revelation of the idiosyncrasies and rough edges of one of the twentieth century’s most influential writers.Dating from 1909 to 1923, the handwritten diaries contain various kinds of writing: accounts of daily events, reflections, observations, literary sketches, drafts of letters, accounts of dreams, as well as finished stories. This volume makes available for the first time in English a comprehensive reconstruction of the diary entries and provides substantial new content, including details, names, literary works, and passages of a sexual nature that were omitted from previous publications. By faithfully reproducing the diaries’ distinctive—and often surprisingly unpolished—writing in Kafka’s notebooks, translator Ross Benjamin brings to light not only the author’s use of the diaries for literary experimentation and private self-expression, but also their value as a work of art in themselves.Hardcover704 pagesSchocken, 20236.2 x 9.25 inchesISBN 9780805243550Literature, Kafka

By Veena Duncker, Lynn Springer Roberts, Reinhard Sanger, Eric Turner, and Mienke Simon Thomas. Original Price: $55.00 UP TO 20% ADDITIONAL SAVINGS FOR MEMBERS Silver has been a cherished heirloom and gift for centuries. Historians claim that by 3100 B.C. ambassadors to the Egyptian king from Crete brought silver vases as gifts. Today, sterling silver is a favorite medium for creative and innovative designers because of its malleability. The mystical white metal has marked historical milestones throughout the ages, served as a medium of exchange and become an essential metal in today's world of high-tech consumer goods. Part of silver's intrigue is found in its versatility. Its unique properties include beauty, strength, sensitivity to light, malleability and ductility, electrical and thermal conductivity, reflectivity and the ability to endure extreme temperature changes. These properties allow scientists and engineers around the world to undertake groundbreaking research that changes the way we live. This generously illustrated volume presents almost 200 beautiful and rare pieces of utilitarian silver from the Art Nouveau and Art Deco period, selected from a private silver collection. It brings together objects by various renowned silversmiths, including Christopher Dresser, Charles Robert Ashbee, Omar Ramsden and Alwin Carr, and Edward Spencer, Henry Wilson and Paul Cooper. American silversmiths include the Kalo Shop, the International Silver Company of Meriden, The Gorham Manufacturing Company and Howard Crisp. The color photographs of the objects are accompanied by extensive captions, monograms and hallmarks, providing substantial new information. In addition, A Personal Touch includes essays by silver specialists: Eric Turner, of the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, examines reforms in the work of English silversmiths and describes the pieces in this collection that illustrate these developments. Lynn Springer Roberts, former curator at The Art Institute of Chicago, writes about American silverware from the early 20th century, and Reinhard Sanger, of the Badisches Landesmuseum in Karlsruhe, focuses on continental silver, paying special attention to beautifully decorated cutlery.

But can these artifacts be taken as objective facts? For centuries, artists have offered through their work contrary meanings for both historical and contemporary events. In times or places of crisis, the power of art to depict harsh realities and new ways of understanding history have been particularly pronounced.Art/Histories looks at history through the lens of artworks from the sixteenth century to the present, including works from Otto Dix, Anselm Kiefer, Käthe Kollwitz, Alice Creischer, Jörg Immendorff, Felix Droese, and many others. Drawing on the world-class collections of the Museum der Moderne Salzburg, Sabine Breitwieser examines the stories these works tell about the events depicted, as well as the artists’ involvement with them. With nearly three hundred full-color illustrations, the book challenges many of the tools currently used to examine and evaluate history.

Werner Graeff: Recollection of a Bauhaus Artist

Original Price: $50.95 UP TO 20% ADDITIONAL SAVINGS FOR MEMBERS Edited by Timothy O. Benson and Éva Forgács The avant-garde movements of Central Europe were an integral part of modernism’s evolution as it reached its peak throughout the continent during the 1920s. Written documents—manifestoes, artists’ statements, and reviews—were the lifeblood of these movements and, during the periods when political events conspired to isolate them, one of their few means of communication and exchange. Much of this crucial evidence has become lost to us, and the artistic avant-gardes of Central Europe have been a blind spot of modernist studies. Until their narratives have been recovered, the story of modernism will remain incomplete. In this book an international team of scholars has selected an essential compendium of documents that take an important step toward regaining this lost perspective. Between Worlds contains primary documents of the avant-gardes in Austria, the Czech lands, Germany, Hungary, Poland, Romania, and Yugoslavia from 1910 to 1930. The manifestoes and magazines of Western European radical art circles are well known to Western scholars, but few have researched the pages of magazines such as Zenit, Integral, Punct, 75 HP, Tank, and Ma. We know about Italian Futurism but not about Polish Futurism. Few Westerners are aware that French surrealist magazines drew much of their inspiration from Czech publications. The hundreds of documents in the book, almost all of them translated into English for the first time, bring back into circulation landmark texts by the major writers, editors, artists, magazines, and movements of Central Europe. With this publication they are restored to their rightful place in the pantheon of modernism. Between Worlds is distributed for the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.

Original Price: $90.00 UP TO 20% ADDITIONAL SAVINGS FOR MEMBERS Edited by Lidia Gluchowska and Vojtech LahodaAn examination of the cultural and artistic consequences of post-WWI nationalism in Europe.World War I was a seismic event in Europe whose most concrete ramifications were the sweeping changes made to maps of the continent after 1918. A number of new, independent states were established in the wake of the Armistice, and these tectonic developments found varied expression in the arts, transforming the image of the continent both cartographically and artistically. This new edited collection focuses primarily on how modernism and the avant-garde responded to these geographic changes in Central and Eastern Europe, the Baltic States, and Scandinavia. The contributors explore the clashes between the national, the transnational, and the cosmopolitan as they played out in diverse artistic genres. In many countries across Europe, the struggle for national independence—which in many cases began in the nineteenth century and culminated only after World War I—had important cultural and artistic consequences, which are only beginning to be understood. This book—co-published with Artefactum—provides a crucial new lens to rethink the methodological tools used to understand the complexity and the multiplicity of avant-garde forms in twentieth-century Europe, encouraging scholars to reconstruct global cultural history without tired nationalistic approaches.Paperback321 pages | 151 color platesKarolinum Press, 20226.5 x 9.25 inchesISBN 9788024651217History, Art Criticism

Nationalism and Cosmopolitanism in Avant-Garde and Modernism: The Impact of World War I

Original Price: $15.95 UP TO 20% ADDITIONAL SAVINGS FOR MEMBERS By Tyler Mills "In City Scattered, through gorgeous strands of speech, Tyler Mills perceptively reintegrates our sacred, forgotten past into a portrait of a woman whose self-possession and complexity are palpably rendered. Only a poet with such sensitivities of language can so clearly hear and interpret the immortal silence of history; only a poet attuned to her own incandescent spirit can test the oneiric nature of poetry with such vigor of mind."—Major Jackson "Tyler Mills’ The City Scattered is a rich document of the “inner architecture” and social displacements that occur under the “skies / of capital.” Its choral structure deftly links the late days of the Weimar Republic to labor in the age of Amazon. Through swift images and attention to the complexity of pleasure, Mills’ poems show the independence and alienation of workers, particularly women, for whom the “purse thickens” while unemployment rises and money is “losing value.” Her crisp, suggestive case study illuminates the confluence of precarity and prosperity at the heart of our era. “Do not lean out,” warns a sign on a window in one poem; but we’re already leaning closer to read."—Zach Savich Goblets of gin, fans of feathers, war-bombed bricks, loaves of bread, soot, smoke, and paper money—such are the tangible things that touched the lives of women who worked as wage laborers during an era of Europe of cabaret and hyperinflation. The crises of modernity and capital, as well as the human experiences of women and who loved, lost, and fought against the structures of privilege that all the while aided them during a fraught stretch of time between wars, come alive in City Scattered, a chapbook of poems that invite us to experience and examine the conditions of labor that echo those of our current day.Paperback44 pagesTupelo Press, 20228.27 x 5.83 x 0.11 InchesISBN 9781946482686Poetry, Literature

City Scattered: Cabaret for Four Voices

Original Price: $25.50 UP TO 20% ADDITIONAL SAVINGS FOR MEMBERS By Ödön von Horváth Ödön von Horváth (1901-1939) is one of the most important theatre writers in the 1930s. His reputation rests largely on the four plays in this collection, which he called Volksstucke (popular plays), although he had no desire to embrace this tradition uncritically. Reflected in these plays is the sympathy for the situation of the exploited classes, as well as the concern for the way language is used for deception and self-deception. The hollow characters come across as potentially receptive to fascism. A latent brutality is unmasked, a lack of genuine feeling—all lying hidden under a veneer of facile sentimentality.

Von Kay Heymer und Jürgen Weichardt Original Price: $31.37 UP TO 20% ADDITIONAL SAVINGS FOR MEMBERS Der Maler Franz Radziwill (1895-1983) entwickelte eine einzigartige Bildsprache, zu deren Merkmalen ein unverkennbarer Umgang mit Fläche gehört. Mit avantgardistischem Anspruch setzt Radziwill Figuren und Gegenstände in rhythmisch gesetzte Farbflächen. Im Zuge der Neuen Sachlichkeit hebt Radziwill die Flächigkeit durch bildparallele Darstellungen hervor. Im Spätwerk kombinierte er häufig räumliche Darstellung und flächenhafte Gestaltung. Ab 1950 integriert er Schachbrettmuster und Gitterstrukturen in seine Bildräume. Auf diese Weise werden abwechselnd Räumlichkeit als auch Zweidimensionalität der Fläche als Träger der Farbe wahrnehmbar. Mit dieser Bildkonzeption verknüpft Radziwill Moderne mit Tradition.
