Guggenheim Museum, New York 2015- Museum Frieder Burda, Baden-Baden 2017/2018- Kunstsaele Berlin, 2018- Zentrum für Kunst und Medien, Karlsruhe 2018/19- Ichihara Lakeside Museum, 2021"Ab 1958 lebte On Kawara als kosmopolitischer Nomade wechselnd in New York, Paris, Tokio und an anderen Orten. 1968 begann er, jeden Tag zwei Postkarten mit demselben Motiv von seinem jeweiligen Aufenthaltsort an Freund*innen, Familie und Bekannte zu schicken. Die ersten Karten vom April 1968 gingen an Kasper König, der sich erinnert: "Zu Beginn gab ich On Kawara 200 Dollar, das war damals viel Geld, damit er mir Postkarten von seiner Reise nach Mexiko schickt".Kawara kaufte für das Projekt mit dem Titel "I Got Up" Ansichtskarten mit Fotografien von Sehenswürdigkeiten und Baudenkmälern im Quer-format. Außer der gestempelten Adresse des jeweiligen Empfängers und der Anschrift seines jeweiligen Aufenthaltsortes druckte Kawara noch die minutengenaue Zeit, zu der er an dem jeweiligen Tag aufgestanden war, auf die Karten. Diese grundlegende Information blieb ab dem 10. Mai 1969 die einzige, die er festhielt. Die früheren hier abgebildeten Postkarten enthalten zusätzliche Informationen; am 10. und 12. April 1968 etwa notierte Kawara handschriftlich, was er an dem Tag gegessen hatte: ein Ei zu Mittag und drei Tacos zum Abendessen. König bemerkte hierzu: "On hat damals Speisekarten gesammelt, diese dann aber doch nicht zum Werk erklärt. Es war für ihn auch eine Art von soziologischer Untersuchung, was man sich leisten kann, zu essen."Auf die Postkarten vom 22., 24., 27. Und 30. April 1968 schrieb Kawara die Namen der Personen, die er an dem jeweiligen Tag getroffen hatte, laut König ,eine Vorstufe zu seiner Serie / Met, die er kurz darauf begann". Für diese Serie tippte der Künstler die Namen aller Personen, die er am jeweiligen Tag getroffen hatte, mit Schreibmaschine auf ein Blatt und stempelte dieses mit dem jeweiligen Datum. Parallel dazu hielt er seine täglichen Wege mit rotem Kugelschreiber auf kopierten Landkarten fest. Diese Dokumente bilden seine Serie "I Went". Ab 1970 verschickte Kawara Telegramme mit dem Text "I AM STILL ALIVE". 1966 begann er seine heute berühmten "Date Paintings" zu malen: Auf monochromen Hintergrund setzte er in weißer serifenloser Schrift das Datum des aktuellen Tages in der Schreibweise des jeweiligen Landes, in dem er sich gerade aufhielt."Die Reihe "I Got Up" nahm ihr Ende in Stockholm. On Kawara wollte in einer Bank Travellerschecks einwechseln. Währenddessen hat jemand seinen Aktenkoffer ausgetauscht. Derjenige hat wohl gedacht, einen wertvollen japanischen Diplomatenkoffer zu bekommen, und war dann sicher enttäuscht, denn darin war eine österreichische Kinderpost mit Zahlen- und Buchstabenstempeln, die On für die "I Got Up"-Postkarten verwendet hatte."On Kawaras Werke handeln von ihm selbst (im Raum-Zeit Kontinuum) und sind doch wenig persönlich. Er schrieb auf seine Karten nichts über seine Befindlichkeit oder sein individuelles (Zeit-)Erleben. Die Karten sind Selbstvergewisserung und Lebenszeichen. Kawaras distanzierte Weltsicht basiert darauf, das eigene Leben so bewusst wie möglich zu gestalten."(Ausst.-Kat. 1000... miles to the edge. Schenkung/Donation Kasper König. Museum Ludwig Köln, 11.

KEYSER, RAOUL DE1930 Deinze, Belgien - 2012Titel: Ohne Titel (Greiner). Datierung: 1990. Technik: Öl auf Leinwand. Maße: 69 x 50cm. Bezeichnung: Signiert, bezeichnet und datiert verso: Raoul de Keyser R 1990. Rahmen/Sockel: Rahmen. Provenienz:- Sammlung Barbara Weiss, Berlin- Sammlung Kasper König, BerlinAusstellungen:- Museu Serralves, Porto, Raoul de Keyser, 22. Januar - 27. März 2005 (Etikett verso)Hinwendung zur AbstraktionRaoul De Keyser, vor allem für seine abstrakten Werke bekannt, gilt als einer der einflussreichsten belgischen Maler. Seine künstlerische Laufbahn beginnt er als Autodidakt in den 1960er Jahren. Die Arbeiten zeichnen sich durch eine reduzierte Farbpalette und einfache, oft minimalistische Formen aus, welche eine subtile, aber kraftvolle Bildsprache entwickeln. Keysers Werke bewegen sich zwischen Abstraktion und Figuration und sind vielfach von alltäglichen Gegenständen und Landschaften inspiriert. Das Medium MalereiIn jeder Schaffensphase sind sie vor allem eine Reflexion über das Medium selbst. Dabei wird der Sinn und Zweck der Malerei nie infrage gestellt; es gibt keine fotografischen Vorlagen oder umfangreiche Recherchen als Grundlage. Der Fokus liegt vielmehr auf der starken Präsenz der malerischen Linie und der Schichtung von Farben, wodurch das Motiv immer wieder in den Hintergrund tritt. Dies trifft auch auf die hier angebotene Arbeit von 1990 zu. Das Gemälde zeichnet sich durch einen kräftigen und gleichzeitig gleichmäßigen Farbauftrag aus. Geometrische Formen - ein umgekehrtes L in starkem Rot und ein Rechteck in Dunkelrosa - bilden die motivische Grundlage des Kunstwerkes. 2022 wird es in der Ausstellung "March 7, 1990" die eine Serie aus dem Jahr 1990 zusammenfasst, in der Galerie Barbara Weiss gezeigt. Neben farbigen Ölgemälden, werden zwölf als Vorstudien zu verstehende Arbeiten auf Papier in Schwarz, Weiß und Grautönen ausgestellt. Viele Werke dieser Zeit zeigen geometrische Körper und Kompositionen. Die Flächenformen dringen entweder ohne klare Perspektive in den Bildraum ein oder werden auf der Bildoberfläche ineinander wie übereinander verschoben. Dieser räumliche Aspekt des Bildes vermittelt zugleich ein Gefühl von Zeit, da die Überlagerung durch Übermalung das vorherige Bild entscheidend verändert oder auslöscht. Experimentieren mit MalereiPhilipp van Cautern beschreibt das künstlerische Wirken von De Keyser wie folgt: "De Keyser war kein heroischer, virtuoser Maler, sondern ein Künstler, der auf pragmatische und doch spielerische Weise die unvorhergesehene intime Begegnung mit der Leinwand suchte. Der Künstler lehnte jede Methode ab, sondern nahm eine zufällige Situation zum Anlass, mit dem Malen zu beginnen. Von einer groben Idee der Malerei ausgehend, erforschte de Keyser durch Experimentieren und Beobachten die Ergebnisse, die noch unbekannt sind. Malerei als eine unvorhersehbare Erfahrung, die Gedanken und Blicke in Farbe verwandelt".

CHAMBERLAIN, JOHN1927 Rochester, IN/USA - 2011 New YorkTitel: Fleabane (Marsh). Datierung: 1973. Technik: Aluminiumfolie mit Acryllack und Kunstharz. Maße: 43 x 48 x 58,5cm. Provenienz:- Ivan Karp, USA (direkt vom Künstler) - Sammlung Ben Birillo, USA- Sammlung Mourtala Diop, Dakar - Galerie Guy Pieters, Knokke-Heist- Privatsammlung- Sammlung Kasper König, BerlinLiteratur: - Sylvester, Julie: John Chamberlain, A Catalogue Raisonné of the Sculpture 19954-1985, New York 1986, WVZ.-Nr. 423, Abb.Kaum ein Künstler des 20. Jahrhunderts prägte die Bildhauerei so wie der Amerikaner John Chamberlain. Sein Ouvre, das neben Plastik auch Malerei und Fotografie umfasst, zeigt welchen Einfluss sein Wirken auf die nachfolgende Kunst hat. Chamberlain gilt nicht nur als ein herausragender Vertreter des Abstrakten Expressionismus, sondern wird auch als einer der Wegbereiter der Pop Art gewürdigt. "Amerikanischer Marmor"Im Gegensatz zur traditionellen Plastik werden Chamberlains Arbeiten weder gegossen, noch modelliert. Seine Plastiken bestehen zumeist aus ausgedienten Karosserieteilen, die der Künstler als "amerikanischen Marmor" bezeichnet. Durch Strecken, Stauchen, Komprimieren, Zerschneiden und Knittern transformiert Chamberlain die Karosserieteile und bringt sie in Form. Im Anschluss fügt er die Einzelteile auf harmonische Weise zusammen. Hierbei entstehen ausgewogene Formkompositionen, wie auch oszillierende Farbwelten: Ein Novum in der Bildhauerei, die in der klassischen Tradition fast ausschließlich monochrom auftritt. Doch nicht nur in der Farbgestaltung reizt Chamberlain die Grenzen der Gattung Bildhauerei aus. Statt des Schnitzens und Modellierens ist das Zusammenfügen von Elementen die zugrundeliegende Motivation des Künstlers. Es ist kaum verwunderlich und nur konsequent, dass Chamberlain selbst seine plastischen Arbeiten als Nachfolge und Weiterentwicklung der Collage betrachtet. Das Material für seine Arbeiten sammelt er auf Schrottplätzen zusammen. Entscheidende Auswahlkriterien stellen hierbei die Grundform und die Farbe des Objekts dar. Chamberlain kombiniert unterschiedliche Elemente zu einer ausgewogenen Komposition - sowohl im Farb- als auch im Formenspektrum. Fleabane (Marsh)Die schillernde Farbigkeit, die für Chamberlains Werk so charakteristisch ist, tritt in der hier angebotenen Arbeit von 1973 besonders deutlich hervor. Grüne, goldgelbe und rote Farbtöne gehen fließend ineinander über und verleihen der komprimierten und gepressten Form der Kugel eine Leichtigkeit und Qualität, die den Betrachter fast vergessen lässt, dass ausrangierte Stahlteile vom Schrottplatz die Grundlage dieser Skulptur bilden. Ihre schlichte Eleganz bleibt dem Betrachter so unweigerlich im Gedächtnis. Die vorliegende Arbeit zeigt deutlich, mit welcher Mühelosigkeit und gleichzeitigen Virtuosität Chamberlain in seinen Plastiken ein natürliches Gleichgewicht zwischen Farbund Formkomposition schafft. Als logische Folge dieser einzigartigen Begabung ist sein Werk heute in den bedeutendsten internationalen Kunstsammlungen, wie unter anderem dem Museum of Modern Art und dem Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York, dem Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam und der Tate Gallery in London zu finden.
