Christiane Baumgartner: Another Country
Christiane Baumgartner: Another Country complements the artist’s first major museum exhibition in the U.S. and offers an in-depth introduction to the artist’s work at mid-career. Baumgartner is best known for monumental woodcuts, handcarved prints that literally and conceptually expand the traditional boundaries of the medium beyond expectation. Leipzig-based artist Christiane Baumgartner (b. 1967) works at the intersection of old and new media to expand the conceptual and technical capacities of printmaking. Sourcing images from cinema and TV or from her own photographs and videos, she hand-carves woodcuts that defy convention and expectation. Often monumental in scale or undertaken in large series, the work is about speed and transmission, about human sight and its elusive capture, about cultural memory and modes of representation. Essays contextualise the work in relation to German printmaking and the Leipzig school; an interview with the artist surveys her praxis at mid-career.

Reinhold Heller, Curator | Anja Chávez, Editor | Published in 2003 | ISBN-10: 0974489808 | ISBN-13: 978-0974489803 | Two and One: Printmaking in Germany, 1945-1990 is one of the first major publications to focus on the medium of printmaking in a divided postwar germany and to give a broad overview of the visual arts in the former GDR and FRG. It is published in conjunction with an exhibition of the same title that was comprised of 179 prints that evoked both the parallels and the differences between artists from former East and West Germany, including works by Gerhard Altenbourg, Horst Antes, Elvira Bach, Georg Baselitz, Eugene Batz, Willi Baumester, Joseph Beuys, K. P. Brehmer, Werner Büttner, Manfred Butzmann, Carlfriedrich Claus, Otto Dix, Paul Uwe Dreyer, Felix Droese, Erwin Eisch, Claus Felixmüller, Lothar Fischer, Martina Geist, Karl Gerstner, Herman Glöckner, Dieter Goltzsche, Gotthard Graubner, HAP Grieshaber, Ernst Hassebrauch, Erich Heckel, Erwin Heerich, K.

Sonderborg, Peter Sorge, Helmut Sturm, Hann Trier, Jan Peter Tripp, Dieter Tucholke, Werner Tübke, Günther Uecker, Karl Völker, Wolf Vostell, Fritz Winter, Lothar Wolleh, Paul Wunderlich, and HP Zimmer. Prints have always been the vehicle for political expression. The prints by more than eighty artists discussed in this publication offer a distinct view on the question of German identity between the end of World War II and the reunification of the two Germanies. The book equally explores the claim for a second abstract movement in former East and West Germany by many of artists who were as much painters, sculptors, performance artists, and filmmakers as they were printmakers. Curated by Reinhold Heller (Professor of Germanic Languages and Art History at the University of Chicago and specialist in 20th century German printmaking) and edited by Anja Chávez, Ph. D., Curator of Contemporary Art, Davis Museum and Cultural Center, Wellesley College in Wellesley, Massachusetts, this catalogue represents the most comprehensive study of printmaking in postwar Germany. Included are essays by scholars such as Patricia Berman, Professor at the Art History Department, Wellesley College; Dorothea Dietrich, Visiting Associate Professor for 20th century, Art & Art History Department at Duke University; Reinhold Heller; and Nina Zimmer, Ph. D., Wissenschaftliche Assistentin, Kunsthalle Hamburg. Interviews with former dealer, collector, and curator René Block, and with Gunnar Barthel and Tobias Tezner, co-founders of the avant-garde gallery Galerie Oben (Chemnitz, Germany) offer rare insights into the political and cultural conditions in the former GDR and FRG.

Käthe Kollwitz and the Women of War
The art of German printmaker and sculptor Käthe Kollwitz (1867–1945) is famously empathetic; Kollwitz imbued her prints, drawings, and sculpture with eloquent and often painful commentary on the human condition, especially the horrors of war. This insightful book, the first English-language catalogue on Kollwitz in more than two decades, offers the singular opportunity to examine her work against the tumultuous backdrop of World Wars I and II. The societal cost of war became an enduring subject for Kollwitz after her youngest son died on the battlefield in Flanders in 1914. She dedicated much of the remainder of her career to creating images that questioned the efficacy of war, exposed its devastation, and promoted peace. The essays discuss the motifs she developed in this pursuit—young widows, grieving parents alongside maternal figures that serve as defenders, guardians, activists, and mourners—within the context of German visual culture from 1914 to 1945.
