Exhibition - Einfach himmlisch! Die Malerin Marie Ellenrieder 1791-1863

May 18 to August 25, 2013

Marie Ellenrieder (1791-1863) from Constance is one of the most significant female German painters of the 19th century. After starting out as a miniaturist, in 1813 she was the first woman admitted to study at the Munich Art Academy. She soon went on to become a sought-after portraitist. Marie Ellenrieder also made pioneering contri-
butions to the genre of religious art: her altarpieces for the church in Ichenheim/Ortenau in 1822 were the first by a German female artist for a Catholic church.

On the occasion of the 150th anniversary of her death, the Städtische Wessenberg-Galerie and the Rosgartmuseum dedicate an exhibition to the self-confident female painter.

Exhibition dates: May 18 to August 25, 2013 at Städtische Wessenberg-Galerie and the Richentalsaal
at Kulturzentrum am Münster

Further information: „Einfach himmlisch! Die Malerin Ellenrieder 1791-1863“

On the occasion of the anniversary and exhibition a monograph is released which includes all the artworks on display in the exhibition.

Congratulations by BuchMarkt! 25 years, 250 titles

24.10.2012

25th Anniversary of ARNOLDSCHE

Der Verlag ARNOLDSCHE Art Publishers wird in diesem Monat 25 Jahre alt.

„Es gibt ein Bild von Klee, das Angelus Novus heißt. Ein Engel ist darauf dargestellt, der aussieht, als wäre er im Begriff, sich von etwas zu entfernen, worauf er starrt.“ Für Benjamin war dieses Werk mehr als nur ein Bild. Es war ein Denkbild. „Der Engel der Geschichte muß so aussehen“, schreibt Benjamin. „Er hat das Antlitz der Vergangenheit zugewandt“ und blickt staunend auf die Geschichte, von der er sich mit fortschreitender Gegenwart immer weiter entfernt. So oder so ähnlich muss sich der Verleger Dieter Zühlsdorff fühlen, wenn er staunend auf die Geschichte seines Verlages zurückblickt, die vor 25 Jahren begann.

...

Den internationalen Erfolg verdankt der Verlag insbesondere seinem dienstältesten und erfahrensten Mitarbeiter: Dirk Allgaier. Zu ARNOLDSCHE Art Publishers kam der studierte Archäologe 1993. Als Gabriela Arnold wenige Jahre später den Verlag verlässt, prägt das Programm und den Geist des Hauses entscheidend mit. Seit dem Jahrtausendwechsel hat er seine Kontakte zu internationalen Autoren, Künstlern, Partnern und Kunden kontinuierlich ausgebaut. Dirk Allgaiers Rolle und Aufgabe soll künftig noch mehr Gewicht bekommen. An ihn wird Zühlsdorff, der im Jubiläumsjahr des Verlags seinen 65. Geburtstag feiert, den Staffelstab übergeben. „Ich habe ihn ganz gezielt als meinen Nachfolger aufgebaut und freue mich nun, als ‚Alt-Verleger‘ hinter den ‚Jung-Verleger‘ zurücktreten zu können“, betont Dieter Zühlsdorff.

EXHIBITIONS

OTTO KÜNZLI. THE EXHIBITION

March 9 until April 7, 2013

Otto Künzli, "Oh, say!", 1991. Brooch, gold

Born 1948 in Zurich, Switzerland, Otto Künzli is widely considered to be “one of the most intelligent makers in the jewelry world and also one of the most sceptical.” (Ralph Turner).
He has revolutionized modern jewelry art. In the 45-odd years in which he has been addressing the topic of jewelry, Otto Künzli has carved out for himself a quite unique position of far-reaching international influence not only as an artist and a pioneer, but also as an author and mentor. Otto Künzli’s works are based on complex reflection, conceptual and visual imagination. The result: objects with a clear, minimalist appearance, captivatingly crafted to perfection, and highly visible – jewelry that adorns and at the same time possesses
an autonomous aesthetic status of its own.

On the occasion of the opening of the retrospective exhibition at Die Neue Sammlung - The International Design Museum Munich, "OTTO KÜNZLI. THE BOOK" - the first monograph on Künzli and his exceptional oeuvre - will be released.

JEX - Petra Zimmermann at MAK, Vienna

19.02.2012

Petra Zimmermann’s jewelry objects are forthright, sensuous, and opulent. Her early works already reveal an artistic strategy she has continued to pursue ever since: an allusive confrontation of provided material and individually designed plastic forms. Zimmermann’s works are “thought impulses” bringing up aesthetic questions of appeal, value and the transitoriness of beauty. They impress as subtle works of art that cause the conventional barriers between design, the applied arts and fine arts to falter.

The first overall survey of Petra Zimmermann's oeuvre displays around 100 exhibits created between 1997 and 2012.
MAK - Austrian Museum of Applied Arts / Contemporary Art, Vienna, February 20 until May 20, 2013

The Woodruff Key - Ulo Florack

January 20, 2013

Ulo Florack - The Woodruff Key displays around 500 pieces by the painter and jewellery artist from January 20 until April 7 in the Silbersaal of Goldschmiedehaus Hanau. The representation of mysterious and fantastical figures, magical inscriptions and mythical beings are characteristic of the jewellery works and art objects created by Ulo Florack. With artistic mastery and an exuberant imagination, he tells stories using gold, silver, platinum and enamel. The question of whether he is more a painter or a jewellery artist cannot be answered defi nitively: both aspects cross-pollinate each other. His style is very distinctive and his objects use surprising ideological and intelligent imagery, which consciously hovers in the grey area between fantasy and reality.
The exhibition catalogue with Japanese binding presents the extraordinary jewellery by Ulo Florack, which display humour, wit and critical powers of observation.
