Book excerpt: - Showcases the work of internationally acclaimed German artist A.R. Penck (1939-2017). 2019 marks 80 years since his birth; it is also the 30-year-anniversary of the end of the Cold War- The project honors an important artist who emigrated from East to West Germany and whose work addresses issues facing modern man in society- Published to accompany a show at the Ashmolean, Oxford, from 27 June to 3 November, 2019The artistic language of A.R. Penck (1936-2017) - characterised by brusquely and expressively painted signs and 'primitive' symbols - is instantly recognisable. Abiding interests in systems theory and cybernetics, as well as pre-historic cultures and science fiction, guided his art toward an investigation of the relationships between man and society's power systems. His prolific artistic output was primarily driven by his desire to create a universal artistic language that addresses the issues facing modern man. This publication accompanies A.R. Penck's first solo exhibition in Oxford. It features works created between 1970 and 1990 and introduces his art to an audience that might be unfamiliar with it by focussing on the artist's signature motif of the Standart stick figure in its diverse forms. The artist was born as Ralf Winkler in Dresden, East Germany. Rejected by the establishment for the decidedly un-academic style of his works and their political overtones, he persisted as an 'underground' autodidact in what was then the GDR. He adopted the pseudonym A.R. Penck to counter difficulties with East German authorities who banned his works from public exhibition. With the aid of friends, his works were smuggled to West Germany, where they were exhibited for the first time in 1968 in Cologne. In 1980, Penck emigrated to the West, first living outside Cologne, then in London and Ireland, often dividing his time between different locations.

Book excerpt: The original edition of this ambitious reference was published in hardcover in 1998, in two oversize volumes (10x13"). This edition combines the two volumes into one; it's paperbound ("flexi-cover"--the paper has a plastic coating), smaller (8x10", and affordable for art book buyers with shallower pockets--none of whom should pass it by. The scope is encyclopedic: half the work (originally the first volume) is devoted to painting; the other half to sculpture, new media, and photography. Chapters are arranged thematically, and each page displays several examples (in color) of work under discussion. The final section, a lexicon of artists, includes a small bandw photo of each artist, as well as biographical information and details of work, writings, and exhibitions. Ruhrberg and the three other authors are veteran art historians, curators, and writers, as is editor Walther. c. Book News Inc.

Book excerpt: Ralf Winckler, better known under the name A.R. Penck (1939-2017), is one of the greatest German artists of the late twentieth century (along with Georg Baselitz, Markus L�pertz, Sigmar Polke and J�rg Immendorff).The exhibition at the Fondation Maeght, chooses another point of view. It's focus is on the challenges of his painting and sculpture through different periods chosen to give a better understanding of the richness of his aesthetic, existential, philosophical and literary worlds. It presents one hundred paintings, sculptures, large sets of drawings, prints and Penck's artists' books.Penck invented a colourful pictorial language expressing the rhythm of a constant back and forth between primitivism and 'art brut', between painting and graffitism of which he is one of the fathers along with Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat.His language aims to be the language of this humanity that he is trying to portray, by using calligraphic elements, through themes such as the relationship to the animal or cosmic world, or a dialogue between catastrophe and the jubilation of dance.The posthumous exhibition (and this beautiful, extensive accompanying catalogue) attempts to explain that the of A.R. Penck who, through painting, sculpture and drawing, shows the adventure of an artist who perceives his work as the promise of space - a space to discover, to explore, to inhabit.Published on the occasion of the exhibition, A.R. Penck: Rites de passage at Fondation Maeght, Saint-Paul, France, (March 18 - June 18, 2017).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A collection of writings on art by Barry Schwabsky. “Many consider Barry Schwabsky to be the critic on painting today, even if he does write copiously on other art forms,” write editors Rob Colvin and Sherman Sam in their foreword to this selection of Schwabsky's writings. Written since the turn of the millennium, the texts in The Oberver Effect include meditations on the broader context of painting today alongside reflections on such well-known American painters as Alex Katz, Kerry James Marshall, Nicole Eisenman, and Dana Schutz, as well as practitioners from Europe and beyond—Bernard Frize, Tal R, and Ha Chonghyun among them. As Colvin and Sam point out, the book “documents a dialogue between abstraction and the image” in which “images serve less to represent their described subject than to articulate the sort of painting each one desires to be.”
