Zeitgenössische Kunst - - Karin Kneffel (  (1957 Marl). Sammlung von 4 Arbeiten. Je Vierfarben-Serigraphie auf festem, glattem Velin. 1999. Je 91,8 x 91,8 cm (96 x 96 cm). Jeweils mit typographischer Bezeichnung, mit Werk- und Editionsangaben. - Ein Blatt verso mit punktueller, sehr blasser Oberflächenbereibung, insgesamt sehr gut und tadellos schön. Durchweg prachtvolle Drucke in ausgesprochener Farbintensität und -kontrast mit schmalem Rand. Je eines von 500 Exemplaren. - Enthält Kirschen I, Pfirsische I, Trauben I, Äpfel I. - Hrsg. v. Kunstverlag Schumacher-Edition Fils, Düsseldorf. - Der Durchbruch der Meisterschülerin Gerhard Richters gelingt ihr bereits im Frühwerk der 1990er Jahre mit realistischen Darstellungen von überdimensionierten Früchten. In perfekter Illusion der Wirklichkeit, wählt Kneffel extreme Ausschnitte und ein wechselvolles Spiel von Nah und Fern für ihre Bildräume. Gleichwohl das Früchtestilleben eine langwährende kunstgeschichtliche Tradition aufweist - meist opulent drapiert auf Tischen symbolisieren Früchte Wohlstand, Üppigkeit und auch Vergänglichkeit - und in seinem Narrativ bereits ausgeschöpft zu sein scheint, rückt Kneffel dieses Genre bewusst in den Fokus ihres Schaffens und gibt ihm innerhalb der Zeitgenössischen Kunst eine neue Daseinsberechtigung. Indem sie sich auf einen kleinen Bildausschnitt konzentriert und diesen in ein überlebensgroßes Format überträgt, erreicht sie eine subtile Verfremdung des in beeindruckender fotorealistischer Präzision geschilderten Objekts.   Collection of 4 prints. Each four-colour silk-screen on strong, smooth wove paper. Each with typographical inscription, with work- and edition information. - One print with isolated, very faint surface abrasion on the verso, all in all very good and impeccably nice. Throughout splendid impressions in distinct colour intensity and -contrast, with narrow margins. - Each one of 500 copies. - With works as mentioned above. - The breakthrough of the master student of Gerhard Richter already came in her early work of the 1990s with realistic depictions of oversized fruits. In a perfect illusion of reality Kneffel chooses extreme details and an alternating play of near and far for her pictorial spaces. Although the fruit still life has a long tradition in art history - mostly opulently draped on tables, fruits symbolise prosperity, opulence and also transience - and seems to be exhausted in its narrative, Kneffel deliberately moves this genre into the focus of her work and gives it a new raison d'être within contemporary art. By concentrating on a small section of the image and transferring it to a larger-than-life format she achieves a subtle alienation of the object depicted in impressive photorealistic precision.

Sally Mann is an American photographer who was born on May 1, 1951, in Lexington, Virginia. She is best known for her intimate and often controversial portraits, landscapes, and still-life images that explore themes such as death, decay, and the passage of time.Mann began her career as a photographer in the 1970s, studying at the University of the South and later at the Pratt Institute in New York. Her early work focused on the landscapes of the American South, but she gained national attention in the 1990s for her series of portraits of her own children, which were featured in her book "Immediate Family."The photographs in "Immediate Family" were praised for their beauty and honesty, but also drew criticism for their sometimes-graphic depiction of childhood nudity. Mann defended her work, arguing that the images were intended to capture the fleeting moments of childhood and were not meant to be sexual or exploitative.Mann has continued to work in a variety of genres over the years, including landscape photography, still-life photography, and portraiture. She has received numerous awards for her work, including a Guggenheim Fellowship, a National Endowment for the Arts fellowship, and the International Center of Photography's Infinity Award.In addition to her photography, Mann has also written several books, including "Hold Still: A Memoir with Photographs," which was a finalist for the 2015 National Book Award. She continues to live and work in Virginia, where she is a professor of photography at the University of Virginia.Measures 8.0 x 9.75 (image).

The Bauhaus was a revolutionary German art school that operated from 1919 to 1933. It is widely regarded as one of the most influential movements in the fields of art, design, and architecture. Here are some key points about the Bauhaus:1. Origins and Philosophy: The Bauhaus was founded by architect Walter Gropius in Weimar, Germany, in 1919. It aimed to unite art, craft, and technology, breaking down the traditional boundaries between fine arts and applied arts. The school promoted the idea of creating functional, aesthetically pleasing objects and buildings that could be mass-produced for the modern industrial society.2. Curriculum and Approach: The Bauhaus offered a comprehensive and interdisciplinary curriculum, combining theoretical and practical education in various artistic disciplines. The coursework included workshops in areas such as architecture, painting, sculpture, graphic design, textile arts, metalworking, and furniture design. The faculty consisted of renowned artists and designers who encouraged experimentation, craftsmanship, and the exploration of new materials and techniques.3. Integration of Art and Industry: The Bauhaus emphasized the integration of art and industry, seeking to bridge the gap between art and everyday life. The goal was to create functional and accessible designs that could enhance people's living environments. The school collaborated with industry and manufacturers to develop prototypes and designs for mass production.4. Bauhaus Style and Aesthetics: The Bauhaus style is characterized by simplicity, clean lines, geometric forms, and the use of modern materials such as glass, steel, and concrete. The emphasis was on functional design and the elimination of unnecessary ornamentation. Bauhaus artists and designers sought to create a new visual language that reflected the spirit of the modern age.5. Notable Figures and Teachers: The Bauhaus attracted a diverse group of talented artists, designers, and architects as both students and teachers.

Each of these individuals made significant contributions to the fields of art, design, and architecture.6. Closure and Legacy: The Bauhaus faced political pressure and financial difficulties throughout its existence. In 1933, the school was forced to close under pressure from the Nazi regime, which deemed its ideas and artistic expression as "degenerate." However, the influence of the Bauhaus continued to spread globally as its teachers and students emigrated and disseminated its ideas. The legacy of the Bauhaus can be seen in modernist architecture, industrial design, and the principles of form-follows-function that still resonate in contemporary design practices.The Bauhaus remains a symbol of innovation, creativity, and the integration of art and design. Its ideas and principles have had a lasting impact on modern art, architecture, and design, shaping the way we perceive and interact with our built environment.Measures 18 x 24.Mounted to archival quality paper.

He incorporated newspaper clippings, sheet music, and other materials into his paintings, creating a sense of depth and texture.5. Subjects and Themes: Gris's subject matter primarily consisted of still lifes, interiors, and portraits. He often depicted everyday objects, such as glasses, pipes, and musical instruments, arranging them in complex compositions that challenged traditional notions of representation.6. Influence and Legacy: Gris's contributions to Cubism were highly influential, and his unique style and innovative techniques had a lasting impact on the development of modern art. His work inspired subsequent generations of artists, and his emphasis on structure, form, and the manipulation of space continues to be appreciated by art enthusiasts and scholars.Juan Gris's artwork reflects his intellectual approach to art-making, his keen sense of composition, and his ability to transform ordinary objects into complex and thought-provoking visual experiences. His contributions to Cubism, alongside Picasso and Braque, solidified his place in art history as a key figure of the movement and a talented artist in his own right.Measures 24 x 36.Frame measures 41.25 x 29.25.Sold "after" Gris.
