Abstract

Franz Erhard Walther's art examines themes related to the categorization of art. Walther himself said that the elements of place, time, space, body, and language were his artistic means. He embodies the shift in the conceptual paradigm to an open-ended concept of the work of art, which includes the audience and the viewer as active participants, as almost no other artist does. The visionary potential of his expanded concept of art, and its enduring influence, has only become obvious today, in retrospect. Evidence of this is the retrospective at the Haus der Kunst in Munich, whose catalogue is dedicated to Walther's entire oeuvre. The show, an interactive experiential space, provides visitors with the opportunity to gain a new perception of their own interiors and exteriors alike. Franz Erhard Walther (1939, Fulda) is considered one of the trailblazers of a radically expanded spectrum of art. For this, he was awarded the Golden Lion at the Biennale di Venezia in 2017. For more than thirty years he was a professor at the Hochschule für Bildende Künste in Hamburg. He lives in Fulda.

Abstract

Eduardo Chillida is considered the most important Spanish sculptor of the second half of the 20th century. His monumental, site-specific sculptures of steel, stone and concrete are now iconic pieces. They include, for example, the work "Peine del viento" (Wind Comb) from 1976, mounted on three cliffs in his hometown San Sebastian and his steel sculpture "Berlin" from 1999 which is situated in front of the Federal Chancellery in Berlin. Taking in around 130 works, some of them large-format, the catalogue honours all the aspects and creative phases of Chillida's oeuvre and accompanies the most comprehensive exhibition of his work in Germany to date. Exhibition: Museum Wiesbaden, Germany (16.11.2018 - 10.03.2019).
