David LaChapelle 1963 Fairfield/Connecticut - lebt und arbeitet in New York und ParisFirst I need your hand, then forever can begin. 2009.Cibachrome-Abzug. Auf dem verso auf dem Unterlagekarton angebrachten Editionsetikett signiert sowie typografisch datiert, nummeriert, betitelt und bezeichnet. Aus einer Auflage von 30 Exemplaren. Auf Fotopapier. 63,5 x 63,5 cm (25 x 25 in), Blattgröße. Herausgegeben vom Tel Aviv Museum anlässlich der Wahl LaChapelles zum Künstler des Jahres 2012. [KP].David LaChapelle, zweifelsfrei eine der außergewöhnlichsten und bekanntesten Figuren in der Fotografie der Gegenwart, kommt im Jahr 1968 in Connecticut zur Welt. Früh fühlt er sich zur Fotografie hingezogen. Eine oft wiedergegebene Anekdote berichtet vom Startschuss dieser großen Karriere: Der erst sechsjährige David LaChapelle habe seine Mutter im Bikini mit einem Glas Martini in der Hand fotografiert. Der Frühberufene entscheidet sich, wenig verwunderlich, für eine künstlerische Ausbildung. An der North Carolina School of the Arts absolviert LaChapelle ein erstes Kunststudium. In den mittleren 1980er Jahren zieht es ihn jedoch, gerade 19-jährig, nach New York. Hier ist er an der Art Students League und der School of Visual Arts eingeschrieben. Wegweisender für LaChapelle wird aber der unmittelbare Kontakt zu anderen Künstlern: Im Studio 54 begegnet er erstmals Andy Warhol, der sein Talent entdeckt und sein großer Förderer wird. Bald macht David LaChapelle Aufnahmen für Warhols Magazin `Interview`. Weitere Aufträge folgen und David LaChapelle fotografiert schon bald auch für Zeitschriften wie den Rolling Stone, die Vogue oder Vanity Fair. Zu den zahlreichen Prominenten, die sich von David LaChapelle ablichten lassen, zählen Größen wie Elizabeth Taylor, Madonna, Leonardo DiCaprio oder Muhammad Ali. Seit den 1990er Jahren macht David LaChapelle auch als Regisseur von Musikvideos und Werbespots von sich reden. In allen seinen Werken steht David LaChapelle zwischen Kunst, Werbung und Mode. Surrealismus, Pop-Art und die vielzitierte `Postmoderne` hinterlassen ihre Spuren in seinem visionären, fantasievollen Oeuvre.Seine Arbeiten werden schon früh auch als Kunstwerke wahrgenommen. Zahlreiche wichtige Einzelausstellungen in renommierten Museen geben davon beredtes Zeugnis. Hervorzuheben sind etwa die Schauen im Fotografiska Museet in Stockholm (2012), in der Kestner-Gesellschaft in Hannover (2011), im Tel Aviv Museum of Art (2010), im Musée de la Monnaie de Paris (2009), im Museo di Capodimonte in Neapel (2006) oder im Kunsthaus Wien (2002). David LaChapelle, Preisträger von so bedeutenden Auszeichnungen wie dem `Applied Photography of the Year Award` des International Center of Photography (1996), wird 2005 unter die `25 Most Influential Living Photographers` (PDN) gewählt. Er lebt und arbeitet in New York und Paris.

Max Beckmann 1884 Leipzig - 1950 New YorkSelbstbildnis mit steifem Hut. 1921.Kaltnadelradierung. Hofmaier 180 III B (von IV B). Gallwitz 153. Signiert. Wohl von I.B. Neumann bezeichnet `2. Zustand` [sic!] und von fremder Hand `Selbst mit Hut`. Aus der ersten Auflage von wohl 50 Exemplaren. Auf Bütten. 31,8 x 24,5 cm (12,5 x 9,6 in). Papier: 49,7 x 33,5 cm (19,5 x 13,1 in).Herausgegeben von I.B. Neumann, Berlin. [SM].PROVENIENZ: Privatsammlung Baden-Württemberg. Seine künstlerische Ausbildung erhält Beckmann von 1900 bis 1903 an der Großherzoglichen Kunstschule in Weimar, hauptsächlich bei dem norwegischen Landschaftsmaler Carl Frithjof Smith. Nach dem Studienabschluss und Aufenthalten in Paris, Genf und Florenz lässt sich Beckmann 1907 in Berlin nieder und wird dort Mitglied der Sezession. Bei Kriegsausbruch meldet er sich freiwillig als Berufssoldat. Als Beckmann 1915 vom Militär entlassen wird, zieht er nach Frankfurt am Main, wo er bis 1933 an der Städel-Kunstschule unterrichtet. Die frühen Arbeiten des Künstlers stehen unter dem Einfluss des deutschen Impressionismus, vor allem Lovis Corinths. Die Kriegserlebnisse führen ihn dann jedoch zu einem expressionistischen Ausdruck. Seit den 1920er Jahren prägt die intensive Auseinandersetzung mit der Dingwirklichkeit sein Werk, welche sich formal in einem expressiven, die Form umreißenden grafischen Gerüst niederschlägt. Hauptthema ist der einsame bedrohte Mensch in einer apokalyptischen Welt.Die vorliegende Arbeit ist eines der wichtigsten, um nicht zu sagen das wichtigste grafische Blatt im Schaffen von Max Beckmann. Die Erforschung des eigenen Ichs, die mit den zahlreichen Selbstbildnissen von Rembrandt einen ersten Höhepunkt in der europäischen Kunst erreicht, zieht sich von da an wie ein roter Faden durch die Historie von Malerei und Grafik. Besonders die deutschen Künstler der ersten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts sahen darin einen wichtigen Schritt der Selbstfindung. Stellvertretend für viele sei neben Beckmann auch Käthe Kollwitz genannt, die in der Befragung des eigenen Ichs die künstlerische Herausforderung ihres Lebens sah. Das frontal und in die Mitte der Komposition gestellte Selbstbildnis Beckmanns, das durch die zigarettentragende Hand im Vordergrund und die Lampe rechts gegen die allzu große Nähe des Betrachters geschützt wird, erinnert in seiner Statuarik an die überkommene Form der Ikone, des Heiligenbildes. Doch der zwingend fordernde Grundton der Aussage lädt nur scheinbar zum Dialog ein. Beckmann ist sich hier in Haltung und Ausdruck der Bedeutung seiner Person als Künstler und Einzelgänger mehr als bewusst. Er fühlt sich in seinem Wollen bestätigt.1937 emigriert Beckmann nach Holland, 1947 wandert er in die USA aus. Kurze Gastprofessuren in St. Louis, Boulder und New York folgen. Am 27. Dezember 1950 stirbt der Künstler in New York. ca. 16.14 h +/- 20 Min.ENGLISH VERSIONMax Beckmann 1884 Leipzig - 1950 New YorkSelbstbildnis mit steifem Hut. 1921.Drypoint.
