Abstract

"In Metaphorical Materialism: Art in New York in the Late 1960s, Dominic Rahtz returns to a period when the materiality of art was thematized and theorized according to varying conceptions of matter and form, and consciously related to materialisms held as wider philosophical and political positions and attitudes. The book consists of a volume of essays on the relationships between materiality and materialism, informed by definitions of labour, process, corporeality, and language, in the work of Carl Andre, Robert Smithson, Richard Serra, Eva Hesse and Lawrence Weiner"--

Abstract

Eva Hesse, a pivotal figure in the development of postwar international art, created paintings, sculpture, and works on papier that are striking in their enigmatic beauty and tactile sensibility. Although much has been written about Hesse's dramatic life - her childhood flight from Nazi Germany, her struggles to gain acceptance as a young artist in New York, her battle with cancer, and her tragic death in 1970 at the age of thirty-four - her artwork has yet to receive her widespread public attention it deserves. This lavishly illustrated volume provides an in depth examination of Hesse's entire oeuvre, focusing on her innovative working methods and choices of materials as well as on the larger aesthetic and philosophical questions raised by her artistic practice. The book presents and documents over 100 works by Hesse in all media. Essays by a distinguished team of writers deal with themes of mutability and decay in Hesse's art, discuss her little known early career in New York and Germany, explore her innovative use of translucent and pliable materials, and examine the role of drawing and collage in her creative process. In addition, a panel of curators, conservators, and colleagues of Hesse considers the complex issues raised by the aging and degradation of a number of her sculptures over the past three decades. Eva Hesse is published in conjunction with a major exhibition co-organized by Elisabeth Sussman for the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and Dr. Renate Petzinger for Museum Wiesbaden, Germany.

Abstract

De negen essays die in dit boek te vinden zijn hebben telkens een andere kunstenares als onderwerp. De centrale vraag die bij hun werk gesteld wordt is de volgende: "zijn er voor de beoordeling van het werk van vrouwelijke kunstenaars specifieke criteria nodig?". Vertrekkend van de misogynie van veel surrealistische werken wordt hier nagegaan hoe vrouwen hun plaats bepalen binnen kunst als vormentaal die grotendeels door mannen bepaald wordt. In veel werken wordt er van uitgegaan dat vrouwen hun positie bepalen ofwel door te conformeren aan die mannelijke norm ofwel door een marginale positie in te nemen. De auteur van dit boek meent dat vrouwen wel degelijk binnen een stroming als het surrealisme hun plaats verdienen zonder dat die tweedeling gehanteerd moet worden.

Abstract

Surrealisme wordt vaak aanzien als een misogyne kunststroming. De werken stellen de vrouw dikwijls voor als 'de ander', on(be)grijpbaar. Toch zijn er een aantal vrouwelijke artiesten binnen die stroming. In dit boek wordt gepoogd aan te tonen hoe die kunstenaressen binnen die vormentaal hun eigen uitdrukking gegeven hebben aan vrouwelijkheid, vrouwelijke subjectiviteit, het vrouwelijk lichaam. Bovendien wordt gesteld dat de antwoorden die toen gegeven werden, ook belangrijk geweest zijn voor de volgende generaties vrouwelijke kunstenaars.

Abstract

The book begins in the late eighteenth century, when a systematic formal distinction began to be made between painting and sculpture. Following changing attitudes toward sculpture through the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, Potts analyses for the first time the radical transformation that has occurred not only in the nature of sculptural works but also in their display and reception. He focuses on a broad range of texts by major writers who have in some way been obsessed by sculpture, including Johann Gottfried Herder, Charles Baudelaire, Walter Pater, Rainer Maria Rilke, Carl Einstein, Adrian Stokes and Clement Greenberg, and such artist-theorists as Adolf Hildebrand and Donald Judd.Potts also offers a detailed view of selected iconic works by sculptors ranging from Antonio Canova and Auguste Rodin to Constantin Brancusi, David Smith, Carl Andre, Eva Hesse and Louise Bourgeois - key players in modern thinking about the sculptural. The impact of minimalism features prominently in this discussion, for it disrupted accepted understanding of how a viewer interacts with a work of art, thereby placing the phenomenology of viewing three-dimensional objects for the first time at the center of debate about modern visual art.
