It came about within the framework of the international cultural programme of the Polish Presidency of the EU Council in 2011. The project has been supervised by a board of experts headed by Prof. Władysław Bartoszewski. The exhibition curator is the Polish art historian Anda Rottenberg, who curated numerous internationally renowned exhibitions and served as director of Zachęta, the National Gallery of Art in Warsaw, for many years. Sixty-seven years and a few days have passed since 18th of September 1944 when German troops destroyed the Royal Castle in Warsaw down to its very foundations while brutally crushing the heroic uprising of the Polish Home Army. Twenty-two years have passed since the fall of the Iron Curtain in Europe, twenty years since the 17th of June 1991 when Federal Chancellor Helmut Kohl and Minister President Jan Krzysztof Bielecki signed the “Polish-German Treaty of Good Neighbourship and Friendly Cooperation”, the original of which can be seen in the exhibition in the Martin-Gropius-Bau. For the first time around 800 historical and contemporary exhibits, displayed in 19 rooms and 22 chapters, will illustrate the thousand-year history of the complex mutual relations between Poland and Germany. The arrangement of the exhibition in thematic areas serves to enhance understanding of the different aspects of German-Polish neighbourhood. The exhibition begins with St. Adalbert and Richeza, who married the future King Mieszko II and became Queen of Poland in 1025; it then carries on up to the present day: the Landshut Wedding, Teutonic Knights, International Gothic, German enthusiasm for Poland in 1831, World War II, Solidarność, accession to the EU. The exhibition also addresses the horrible period between 1939 and 1945, in which the Germans inflicted infinite suffering on Poland and its inhabitants, represented here for example by the film “Kanał” (1957) by Andrzej Wajda. Among the outstanding exhibits are the portrait of Margrave Albrecht von Brandenburg-Ansbach by Lucas Cranach the Elder from the year 1528, outstanding 17th century paintings from Danzig, the monumental work “Prussian Tribute” by Jan Matejko from 1882, as well as masterpieces by Veit Stoss, breathtaking treasure find from Środa Śląska/Neumarkt and precious manuscripts.Woven into the exhibition are many works of politically motivated and internationally renowned contemporary artists, including Mirosław Bałka, Krzysztof Bednarski, Edward Dwurnik, Jochen Gerz, Anselm Kiefer, Gerhard Richter, Wilhelm Sasnal, Gregor Schneider, Günther Uecker, Piotr Uklanski, Luc Tuymans and Krzysztof Wodiczko. These works can be understood as footnotes or commentaries, as it were, on historical events through which the past can be seen in a new perspective.The dynastic ties of the royal house of Poland with other dynasties offer a good introduction to this topic. They illustrate the European context of the Polish-German relations, in particular the marriage politics of the Jagiellonians – their connections with the Hohenzollerns and the Habsburgers, as well as the heyday of the Polish elective kings from Vasa family. These links are represented by the portraits of Cranach the Elder, Hans Maler zu Schwaz, Martin Kober and Pieter Danckerts de Rij, among others. The artworks portray the personal ties between the European dynasties and convey a lively impression of an illustrious epoch that gave rise to a unique cultural high point in the history of the Polish monarchy.The outstanding exhibits from the legendary dowry of the Polish Princess Anna Katharina Konstanze Vasa that are displayed in the exhibition convey an idea of the wealth of those times – the dowry had to be spread among 70 wagons when the Princess set out for the home of her husband, Philipp Wilhelm, Count Palatine of Neuburg, after their magnificent wedding in St. John’s Church in Warsaw. Thanks to the support of lenders from throughout Europe the exhibition provides a unique opportunity to see all ten extant engravings and all of the known drawings of the master wood sculptor Veit Stoss. His life and works are of equal importance to German and Polish art history. Stoss’s greatest masterpiece, the wooden altarpiece in St. Mary’s Church in Krakow was sculpted in the years 1477-89, and is now considered one of the most outstanding altarpiece triptychs of the late Middle Ages. Veit Stoss was a citizen of Nuremberg and Krakow – his work in the exhibition testifies to close cultural ties between the two cities in the 15th and 16th centuries. Martin-Gropius-Bau will show sculptures from both the Polish and the German period of the master’s work, including two groups of figures and a design drawing made for the so-called Bamberg Altar. The latter are an example of Stoss’ activity in Nuremberg, and an evidence of the artist’s virtuosity. The multi-faceted works of the astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus from Thorn/Toruń are represented by his original manuscripts, the first edition of his magnum opus De Revolutionibus Orbium Coelestium from 1543, and books from his personal library. With a look back into the past when the respective national historiographies in both Germany and Poland claimed Copernicus exclusively for their own nation, he will be shown in the exhibition as an example of European intellectuality and transnational thought. Displayed in the heart of the Martin-Gropius-Bau, the atrium, will be, among other things, the history of the Battle of Grunwald/Tannenberg in 1410 – marking the defeat of the Teutonic Knights, by a Polish-Lithuanian army – which deeply influenced German-Polish relations as ‘lieux de memoire’. The monumental work “Prussian Tribute”, a historical oil painting by Jan Matejko from 1882 – on loan from Krakow – will also be seen in the atrium. Because the German occupiers planned to destroy the work during the Second World War, it had to be disassembled and transported to a secret location. The painting shows an event from the year 1525: Duke Albrecht of Brandenburg pays tribute to the Polish King, who has formed the Duchy of Prussia – as a Polish fief – out of the former territories of the Teutonic Knights; at this point Ducal Prussia became largely sympathetic to the Protestant faith. The chapter devoted to fairly recent history deals with transnational relations. It focuses on German-Polish networks of artists in the 1920s that emerged as part of an international avant-garde in opposition to the swelling nationalisms of the 20th century. The Polish Jewish artist Jankiel Adler, co-founder of the artists’ group Jung Jidysz in Łódź and member of the Düsseldorf-based collective Young Rhineland, formed an important link between Polish and German artists’ circles. He is represented by a number of works, among them the celebrated oil painting My Parents.In the section devoted to the history of the 1980s and the Polish Solidarność movement the artists are set against the backdrop of a tense political situation, seen as ambassadors, with their art as mediator between the two countries. In 1981 with Construction in Process in Łódź, the Polish artist Ryszard Waśko had initiated a series of exhibitions with Polish and international artists such as Roman Opalka, Józef Robakowski, Richard Serra and Günther Uecker. With the exhibition Waśko sensitised artists “from the West” to the political situation in Poland. In response, immediately after the declaration of martial law in Poland, Düsseldorf artists organised the auction “Against Martial Law in Poland – for Solidarność”. A number of important works made on that occasion can be seen in the exhibition, including Günther Uecker’s Splinter for Poland. Another key work from the period is Joseph Beuys’ Polentransport 1981, which takes reference to Solidarność in Poland in 1980/81. In the summer of 1981 Beuys had travelled to Poland and presented the Joseph Beuys Archive, a crate with graphic works, posters and photos, to the Łódź Art Museum as a gesture of the “symbolic transplantation” of his artistic ideas.Testifying to the vivid cultural exchange between Poland and Germany, the loans in the exhibition come from more than 200 lenders from Polish, German and international museums and collections, among them the National Museum in Warsaw, Muzeum Sztuki in Łódź, the British Museum in London, Kunsthistorische Museum in Vienna, and the Vatican Library.An extensive educational programme, also addressed to schoolchildren and students, aims to promote cultural exchange between Poland and Germany. The programme communicates knowledge and contributes to a growing together of the Europe nations and to mutual understanding."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Source: &lt;a href="http://www.berlinerfestspiele.de/en/aktuell/festivals/11_gropiusbau/mgb_aktuelle_ausstellungen/polen_deutschland/mgb11_polen_deutschland_1000jahre.php"&gt;Berliner Festspiele&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4823260112438740721-7402876742354105470?l=henrykberlewiarchive.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://henrykberlewiarchive.blogspot.com/feeds/7402876742354105470/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://henrykberlewiarchive.blogspot.com/2011/10/works-by-henryk-berlewi-currently-on.html#comment-form' title='0 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4823260112438740721/posts/default/7402876742354105470'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4823260112438740721/posts/default/7402876742354105470'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://henrykberlewiarchive.blogspot.com/2011/10/works-by-henryk-berlewi-currently-on.html' title='Works by Henryk Berlewi currently on view at the Martin-Gropius-Bau Berlin'/><author><name>.</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4823260112438740721.post-6847247174008563260</id><published>2011-10-02T03:52:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2011-10-02T03:56:12.579-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Works by Henryk Berlewi and Edward Hartwig in Warsaw</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-kYhfTVuVb80/TohClEP1EgI/AAAAAAAAAC4/4GyHMjAqOQA/s1600/Berlegustopol..jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 273px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-kYhfTVuVb80/TohClEP1EgI/AAAAAAAAAC4/4GyHMjAqOQA/s400/Berlegustopol..jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5658846136353755650" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Warsaw.

Due to the fact of its creation Piktogram/BLA gallery space will be transformed into a special type of exchange zone, "service-and-trade enterprise". Explosion of private entrepreneurship that took place immediately after central planning-socialism was deposed in Poland after 1989 resulted in record-breaking increase in the number of new private companies. As much as 600,000 of such private businesses came into existence solely during 1990–1991 period! The whole phenomenon has been accompanied by spontaneous outbursts of creativity: in word generation (names), graphic design (logos), advertisement etc. The title of the exhibition has been influenced by the procedure of company name-creation that utilized agglutinated pieces of names of the co-founders of private companies. Another popular method of name-creation based on adding "-ex" or "-pol" suffixes to fragmented names of business partners, or to words connected to a particular profession. Thus, new words, extraordinary linguistic conglomerates and phonetic units originated. In the title of the exhibition, name fragments of two artists, Henryk Berlewi and Yomar Augusto, have been blended into a whole. Both of them dabbled with the advertising industry. &lt;b style="font-weight: bold; "&gt;Henryk Berlewi&lt;/b&gt;, artist of the first avant-garde, established Reklama-Mechano advertising agency in 1924, that—among its rare realizations—worked on the legendary Plutos chocolate folder. In his theory of "Mechano-facture", Berlewi wrote: "As regards the creation of new schematic facture-based system, such handicrafted technique [as painting] becomes powerless. And, in a given case, only mechanistic technique based on industrial technical means is able to relieve us in this task … technique dependent upon rigorous and precise function of the machine." Stressing this modern approach to art-making practice, Berlewi's first solo exhibition was organized in Austro-Daimler automobile demonstration space in 1924.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b style="font-weight: bold; "&gt;Yomar Augusto&lt;/b&gt; (1977) is a typographer experimenting with calligraphy, bookbinding, screen-printing, as well as with sculptural techniques (wood-carving included) and laser paper cutting. He employs assorted tools of artistic craft, collects and processes old books, maps and postcards. Augusto is interested in layers of information that he unearths in found objects. However, one of his typefaces has decidedly above-the-average attack force: font designed to use on Adidas sportswear for Football World Cup South Africa 2010 became an integral element of the whole advertising campaign during championship.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Exhibition line-up also includes &lt;b style="font-weight: bold; "&gt;Fontarte&lt;/b&gt; graphic design studio, whose founders are also authors of retrospective publication on Berlewi, as well as publications on graphic design, e.g. "Typespotting. Warsaw" which explores such subjects as: city information systems, "alternative typography," neon advertisement lettering designs, and a lettering in architecture. Specially tailored typographic projects by Augusto and Fontarte will spread, among others, on gallery's "shop-windows," and on the clothes designed by &lt;b style="font-weight: bold; "&gt;ZUO Corp.&lt;/b&gt;, which due to a decision to reduce seams to a minimum, become universal in their prospective usage and typified by their "organic" geometries.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another layer of the show is added by fashion photo shoot organized by &lt;b style="font-weight: bold; "&gt;Edward Hartwig&lt;/b&gt; in 1966 focused on geometrical abstraction. Models wearing elegant attire marked by black-and-white geometrical patterns pose against the exhibition of mechano-facture works of Henryk Berlewi, who also appears in the photographic footage, surrounded by beautiful girls.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The title of the exhibition is supplemented by a suffix "-pol".

Ausgehend vom Werk des Berliner Gestalters und Galeristen Christian Chruxin (1937–2006), werden aktuelle Publikationen der KünstlerInnen Peggy Buth (Desire in Representation, 2010), Achim Lengerer (Scriptings, seit 2009), Dierk Schmidt (The Division of the Earth, 2010) und Helene Sommer (I am (t)here, 2009) in einen historischen Zusammenhang gebracht. Chruxin ist von der „Visuellen Poesie“ beeinflusst und gilt u. a. als Erfinder des Formats der „Tragbaren Galerie“ sowie des „interaktiven und permutativen Plakats“. In der Aktualisierung seiner gestalterischen Praxis, die sich an der Kasseler Werkschule orientiert, werden neue Möglichkeiten der Interpretation von Künstlerbüchern eröffnet. Der Ausstellungstitel lehnt sich an den Spielfilm Sympathy for the Devil (auch One Plus One, 1968) von Jean-Luc Godard an. Bücher können fiktionale wie diskursiv gestaltete „Medienräume“ sein, die sich als soziale Praxis organisieren lassen (p-r-o-x-y). Ausgewählte Werke des Künstlers László Lakner weisen auf den gesellschaftlichen Kontext von Büchern hin.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;KuratorInnen: Sophie Goltz, Jan Wenzel"&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4823260112438740721-2165894125336909347?l=henrykberlewiarchive.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://henrykberlewiarchive.blogspot.com/feeds/2165894125336909347/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://henrykberlewiarchive.blogspot.com/2011/02/neuer-berliner-kunstverein-zeigt.html#comment-form' title='0 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4823260112438740721/posts/default/2165894125336909347'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4823260112438740721/posts/default/2165894125336909347'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://henrykberlewiarchive.blogspot.com/2011/02/neuer-berliner-kunstverein-zeigt.html' title='Neuer Berliner Kunstverein zeigt &quot;tragbare Galerie&quot; von Christian Chruxin und Henryk Berlewi'/><author><name>.</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HFeXIO8cqtk/TWiy0ZhdSWI/AAAAAAAAACg/A2DBZKMZI0U/s72-c/img016.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4823260112438740721.post-5735213976489631154</id><published>2011-01-22T03:07:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-01-22T03:13:31.032-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Conference and Exhibition on Herwarth Walden features Henryk Berlewi</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_b-HMi7Gvc_o/TTq7iWQ1edI/AAAAAAAAABo/-r14qKoFBjM/s1600/_MG_8857.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5564966488335808978" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 267px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_b-HMi7Gvc_o/TTq7iWQ1edI/AAAAAAAAABo/-r14qKoFBjM/s400/_MG_8857.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Berlin.

Identity and Avant-garde&lt;br /&gt;exhibition: 17/10/09 – 31/01/10 conference: 15-17/10/09&lt;br /&gt;Almost all avant-garde movements declared their internationalism and lack of interest in national, ethnic and religious differences. The subject of their programmes and the addressee of their activity was an individual liberated from the limits imposed by native culture. Avant-garde artists felt – and were indeed – members of a great, progressive International. Their ideology was directed towards the future and their artistic practices usually manifested the moments of defying cultural past. Therefore, analysing avant-garde as related to the native cultures of its artists might seem unjustified. But is it really? The exhibition is an attempt to answer this question. It focuses on the identity of an avant-garde artist of Jewish origin as well as the impact of this identity on an artwork. The exhibition poses a question how this identity is constructed, what kind of community experience defines it, how strongly it is determined by belonging to diaspora culture or the efforts to overcome it. The exhibition is aimed at showing a wide range of attitudes: from modernising attempts at creating ‘new national Jewish art’, to the cultivation of avant-garde ethos, but only within one’s own environment, to assimilation, rejection of the context of one’s own culture, identification with Polish or international avant-garde scene. The exhibition presents works by Jung Idysz artists (Jankiel Adler, Marek Szwarc, Mojżesz Broderson), works by artists related to the Formists (Henryk Gottlieb), to the Constructivist movement (Henryk Berlewi, Teresa Żarnowerówna, Samuel Szczekacz) and to surrealist artes (Ludwik Lille, Marek Włodarski), as well as the radical left-wing Grupa Krakowska (Jonasz Stern, Sasza Blonder). As well as painting, graphic arts and sculpture, the exhibition also presents phenomena related to literary, theatre and music avant-garde. The exhibition is accompanied by a publication featuring texts by the most renowned world experts in the field of Jewish avant-garde culture and an international conference focusing on the problem. Curators: Joanna Ritt, Jarosław SuchanExhibition under the Honorary Patronage of the President of the Republic of Poland, Lech KaczyńskiAcademic Conference Avant-garde is considered a phenomenon independent of culture or nationality, defying tradition, geared towards a radical transformation of social reality. The curators would like to question this approach, trying to ‘localise’ avant-garde. Experts from Poland, the USA, Germany, France and Canada, representing various academic disciplines such as art history, theatre history, culture studies and literature studies, have been invited to participate in the conference. The experts will examine the tensions between ethnicity and the universalistic ethos of avant-garde art in the biographies and works of numerous artists of Jewish origin. They will analyse the process of constructing identities of avant-garde artists from a particular cultural context, they will discuss what kind of community experience defined their approach and the extent to which this experience determined if they felt part of diaspora culture or defied tradition. A wide range of attitudes will be discussed: from modernising attempts at creating ‘new national Jewish art’, to the cultivation of avant-garde ethos, but only within one’s own environment, to assimilation, rejection of the context of one’s own culture, identification with either Polish or international avant-garde scene. The conference will focus on four thematic areas: avant-garde and Yiddish, avant-garde and revolution, avant-garde and cosmopolitanism, avant-garde and Polish-Jewish relations. Experts invited to participate in the conference: Prof. Marek Bartelik, Cooper Union School of Art, New YorkProf. Hans-Peter Bayerdörfer, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität, MunichProf. Jerzy Jarzębski, Jagiellonian UniversityProf. Anna Kuligowska-Korzeniewska, University of ŁódźProf. Małgorzata Leyko, University of ŁódźProf. Gail Levin, Baruch College and Graduate Center, City University of New York Prof. Gilles Rozier, Maison de la culture Yiddish, Bibliothèque Medem, ParisProf. Seth L.

Parallel wird in Düren am 25.02.2007 eine Ausstellung zu den "Neuen Tendenzen" gezeigt, die zuvor in Ingolstadt im Museum für Konkrete Kunst zu sehen war. Allerdings verwundert bei der Ausstellungskonzeption in Frankfurt und bei der Lektüre der von Dr. Martina Weinhart, Frances Follin und Claus Pias verfassten Katalogtexte die freiwillige Verwendung von kunsthistorischen Scheuklappen: Völlig im Unklaren bleibt der Besucher über die möglichen Ursprünge der Op Art. Erfreulich wäre es gewesen, wenn diese Ausstellung auch einen wissenschaftlichen und somit geistig erhellenden Fokus auf die Ursprünge der Op Art geworfen hätte. Bis heute ist nicht abschließend geklärt, wer der eigentliche Vater der Op Art und anfänglich der Begründer der Idee optischer Kunst war; eine Fragestellung die in ihren Grundsätzen schwierig zu beantworten ist, da ja, wie Josef Albers richtig bemerkte, alle Kunst optisch sei. In Frankfurt wird suggeriert, Vasarely sei der Vater der Op Art. Gerne zitiert wird ein Artikel aus dem Time Magazine aus dem Jahr 1964, der nach aktuellem Forschungstand den Begriff Op Art zum ersten Mal verwendet. Das wiederholte Beziehen auf diesen Artikel bringt jedoch keine neuen Erkenntnisse zu Tage. Zudem wäre es bedauerlich, wenn „Magazine“ wie Times oder vielleicht zukünftig „Vanity Fair“ kunsthistorische Deutungshoheit gewönnen. Ein Blick über diese vielzitierte Quelle hinaus wäre für die Kuratoren in Frankfurt ratsam gewesen, wenngleich es sich hierbei teilweise um Zeitungsberichte handelt: Am 4. April 1965 schrieb Grace Glueck in der New York Times über einen der möglichen Väter der Op Art, den polnischen Künstler Henryk Berlewi (1894-1967), der 1924 in Herwarth Waldens Der STURM präsentiert wurde: „A critic, graphic designer and pioneer abstractionist, Berlewi is not exactly new to “optical” art”. Berlewi wird weder im Katalog der Ausstellung erwähnt, noch findet sich eine Arbeit von ihm in Frankfurt. Und am 19. Januar 1966 erschien in der FAZ ein Artikel, der den Titel „Begegnung mit Vater der Op Art“ trägt: „Die Amerikaner haben mit dem Polen (Anm. Henryk Berlewi) eine große Überraschung erlebt. Sie starteten im Februar 1965 im Museum of Modern Art in New York eine Wanderausstellung „Responsive Eye“ mit Arbeiten der Op Art, als deren erfolgreichster Exponent heute der Ungar Victor Vasarely gepriesen wird. Berlewi fuhr nach New York und zeigte den Amerikanern, dass er schon 1922 so gemalt habe. 1923 schuf er das „Mechano-Faktur- Element Weiß auf Schwarz“, das eine verblüffende Ähnlichkeit mit Vasarelys perforierten Rechtecken und Quadraten aufweist, mit dem Unterschied freilich, dass Berlewi damit zuerst angefangen hat“. Auch Will Grohmann schreibt vermutlich wenige Tage vor der Veröffentlichung des Artikels im Time Magazine anlässlich einer Berlewi-Retrospektive in Berlin 1964 über die 1923 von Henryk Berlewi geschaffene Arbeit: Mechano-Faktur: „Schwarzes Rechteck, darüber ein weißes mit schwarzen Punkten, oder ein schwarzes Rechteck, darüber ein schwarzes mit weißen Punkten: Bewegung, Kinetik, Vibration, das unerklärliche als Ereignis, aber auch als Gleichnis (»Elemente der Mechano-Faktur « 1923)“. Die hier genannte Arbeit wurde bereits 1924 in Herwarth Waldens "Der STURM" ausgestellt. Folglich liegen gerade mal 40 Jahre zwischen „STURM“ und Time Artikel und gar nur 30 Jahre zwischen Berlewis Mechano-Faktur und den in Frankfurt gezeigten Arbeiten von Vasarely; für die − Jahrtausende umfassende − Kunstgeschichte mit Sicherheit eine geradezu lächerliche Zeitspanne, umso bedauerlicher, dass bis heute der Einzug ins Zentrum der Aufmerksamkeit der Arbeiten von Henryk Berlewi renommierte Kunsthistoriker zu überfordern scheint. Henryk Berlewi formulierte damals in seinem Essay Mechano-Faktur für „Der STURM, / Drittes Vierteljahrheft“: Die Kunst muß mit allen Angewohnheiten der parfümierten, perversen, überempfindlichen, hysterischen, romantischen, boudoirmäßigen, individualistischen Kunst von gestern brechen. Sie muß eine neue Formsprache schaffen, die für alle zugänglich ist und im Einklang mit dem Rhythmus des Lebens steht.“ Kann man Op Art präziser beschreiben? Vielleicht hätte den Autoren auch ein Blick in die Berlinische Allgemeine vom 29. April 1964 die Augen geöffnet. Darin schreibt Joachim March unter der Überschrift „Vorläufer und Nachläufer:“ „Glücklicherweise lässt sich geistiges Erstgeburtsrecht auf die Dauer nicht verheimlichen: Eine Reihe deutscher Kunstkritiker und –wissenschaftler hat damit begonnen, jenes falsche Bild zu korrigieren. Günter Pfeiffer hatte bereits 1961 in seiner Besprechung der Beliner „Sturm“-Ausstellung von Berlewi gesagt: „Seine Reihungen klarer grafischer Elemente zu seriellen Variationen ist die Vorwegnahme der jüngsten Bemühungen etwa bei Piene oder Vasarely“, und der bedeutende Historiker des Konstruktivismus und Lissitzky-Biograph Horst Richter schrieb 1963 von Vasarely: „Seiner darstellerischen Methode nach kann er sich als Neukonstruktivist nennen. Aber versucht doch nur, die Erfindungen der Altkonstruktivisten, etwa die Mechano-Fakturen eines Berlewi auf aktuellen Hochglanz zu bringen. Er fügte hinzu: „Vasarely ist der Typ des hochgespielten Malers, dessen schöpferische Qualitäten im umgekehrten Verhältnis zu seinem gesteuerten internationalen Renommée stehen.“ (...) Undenkbar, dass Vasarely – schon seinem Werdegang nach (Schüler von Moholy-Nagy!) – Berlewis Ideen nicht erkannt haben sollte! Wäre es eine Schande, das zuzugeben? Freilich – der Marktwert einer „Neu-Erfindung“ sinkt wenn das Original entdeckt wird.“ Die Fixierung auf einmal in die Kunstgeschichte und in den Kunstmarkt eingeführte Namen wie Vasarely mag heute Ausstellungen verhindern, die einst selbstverständlich waren. Herwarth Walden hat Berlewi gezeigt: Das Zeigen des unter Herwarth Walden existierenden imaginären Rasters bzw. dessen Wiederherstellung ist die entscheidende Aufgabe, die eine Ausstellung heute leisten muss, um neben dem Nachvollziehen der Moderne als internationale Bewegung auch wissenschaftlich klarzustellen, wer beeinflusst hat und wer beeinflusst wurde. Es bedarf einer gewissen Ignoranz oder Oberflächlichkeit, wenn man bei einer Op Art Ausstellung, diese Quellen und Fragen außer Acht lässt. Schließlich bietet nur die Forschung nach den Ursprüngen den wirklich umfassenden Blick auf diese Kunstform – ein öffentliches Museum muss diese Arbeit leisten. Es ist zu hoffen, dass die Lücken dieser Ausstellung durch neuere Forschungsarbeiten geschlossen werden und die Arbeiten von Henryk Berlewi in zukünftigen Op Art Ausstellungen selbstverständlich und kommentiert gezeigt werden. Den Machern der Ausstellung wäre zu empfehlen, zwei Werke von Berlewi aus den Jahren 1923-1924 kurzfristig mit in die Ausstellung zu integrieren und für den Katalog einen fundierten Nachtrag zu formulieren. Der Besucher und Leser kann dann selbst entscheiden, wer der Vater der Op Art war und welche Künstler von Berlewi beeinflusst wurden. Die in Frankfurt gezeigten Op Art Künstler Getulio Alviani, Heinz Mack und viele andere machen aus Ihrer Bewunderung und Anlehnung an Henryk Berlewi keinen Hehl. Für viele steht außer Frage, wer der Vater der Op Art war und ist. #&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sebastian Gaiser, Henryk Berlewi Archive&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4823260112438740721-7694485984005832301?l=henrykberlewiarchive.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://henrykberlewiarchive.blogspot.com/feeds/7694485984005832301/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://henrykberlewiarchive.blogspot.com/2007/02/kommentar-zu-faz-vom-16022007-hier.html#comment-form' title='0 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4823260112438740721/posts/default/7694485984005832301'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4823260112438740721/posts/default/7694485984005832301'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://henrykberlewiarchive.blogspot.com/2007/02/kommentar-zu-faz-vom-16022007-hier.html' title='Kommentar zu FAZ vom 16.02.2007: „Hier vergeht einem das Sehen, ganz bestimmt: Die Frankfurter Schirn zeigt &quot;Op Art&quot;.“'/><author><name>.</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4823260112438740721.post-3737327426371872538</id><published>2006-04-16T08:53:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-08-13T08:54:41.767-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;!--StartFragment--&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-ansi-language:DE"&gt;Henryk Berlewi, Anton Stankowski und Eckhard Neumann&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In der Ausgabe der FAZ vom 15.04.2006 berichtet Thomas Wagner über die aktuelle Anton Stankowski Ausstellung in der Stuttgarter Staatsgalerie. Betritt man als Besucher den schmucklosen Vorraum, so findet sich dort Zitate von Kunsthistorikern und Designkennern, die die Bedeutung von Stankowski herausstellen, unterstreichen und dort findet man auch folgendes Zitat: „Die frühen Arbeiten von Anton Stankowski sind inzwischen ein Teil unserer Kultur- und Designgeschichte unseres Jahrhunderts, die Arbeiten der Nachkriegszeit sind lebendige Gegenwart, wir begegnen Ihnen täglich in unserer Alltagswelt“, Zitat von Eckhard Neumann, Frankfurt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Warum wird Eckhard Neumann in dieser Ausstellung zitiert? Wenn einer die Arbeit von Anton Stankowski so deutlich einordnet und die Ausstellungsmacher es für Wert erachten, dieses Zitat gut lesbar auf einer Wand anzubringen, stellt sich doch unweigerlich die Frage: Wer ist oder war Eckhard Neumann?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Die Schriften von Eckhard Neumann sind mir im Rahmen meiner Forschungsarbeit zum polnischen Konstruktivisten, Henryk Berlewi - ein weitgehend vergessener polnischer Künstler, aufgefallen, der erst durch einen Auktionsrekord im Kunsthaus Lempertz im Herbst 2004 (Henryk Berlewi: Kontrasty Mekanofakturowe, 1924&lt;br /&gt;Gouache, 83 x 109 cm) von einer vorsichtigen Taxe von EUR 5.000 – 5.500,-&lt;br /&gt;auf EUR 161.000,- hochgesteigert wurde, und damit wieder ins Bewusstsein von Sammlern und Händlern rückte.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Besagter Eckhard Neumann kannte Henryk Berlewi sehr gut; vor seinem Tode hat Eckhard Neumann seine Berlewi Werke und den Schriftverkehr in einem Berliner Auktionshaus versteigern lassen. Hierzu sagte er Anfang dieses Jahres in einem Interview mit dem Henryk Berlewi Archive: „Ich hatte meine Sammlung von der Straße und dorthin wollte ich sie zurückgeben. In einem Museumsarchiv oder in einem Museum wären diese Dokumente nur abgelegt worden. Sichtbar für keinen und damit vergessen.“ Das Henryk Berlewi Archive verwaltet einige dieser Dokumente heute als Leihgabe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eckhard Neumann wurde am 15. April 1933 in Königsberg geboren. Nach einer Lehre als Plakatmaler studierte er an der Hochschule für Gestaltung in Ulm.  1964 gründete er zusammen mit Wolfgang Sprang das Jahrbuch der Werbung als „Werbung in Deutschland – Jahrbuch der deutschen Werbung“. Das Buch erscheint seitdem im Econ Verlag.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eckhard Neumann kam wohl „durch Zufall“, wie er sagte, ans Bauhaus. Freunde berichten heute jedoch, sein Interesse sei systematisch gewesen. Im Econ Verlag erschien 1985 das Buch „Bauhaus und Bauhäusler – Erinnerungen und Bekenntnisse“, das kurz und prägnant die Vertreter des Bauhauses auflistet, porträtiert und ihre Haltung zum Bauhaus zitiert. Schlicht – ohne Umschweife. Später war er Werbeleiter der Swissair in Deutschland und lehrte in Mannheim.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In den 60er Jahren veröffentlichte er das Buch „Functional Graphic Design in the 20’s“ (1967), kümmerte sich intensiv um die Anerkennung des Werks von Henryk Berlewi. Verhalf Berlewi zu Kontakten und Ausstellungen in Europa. Mit seinem Beitrag „Mechano-Faktur – ein Beitrag zur funktionalen Grafik der zwanziger Jahre in Polen“ verleiht er in den 60er Jahren Berlewi wieder die Aufmerksamkeit und Beachtung, die er durch Krieg, Verfolgung nicht erlangen konnte. Auch nach dem Tod von Henryk Berlewi, so geht es aus seinem Schriftverkehr hervor, unterstützte Neumann die Mutter Henryk Berlewis, Hel-Enri Berlewi, die den Nachlass bis zu Ihrem Tod verwaltete. Er versuchte Ende der 60er Anfang der 70er Jahre noch für Henryk Berlewi Ausstellungen in Museen und Galerien in Westdeutschland zu werben. Allerdings bestand selbst bei Galerien mit Polenbezug daran nur geringes Interesse. Eckhard Neumann war einer der letzten Zeugen, die noch persönlich mit Berlewi gearbeitet haben. Nach Eberhard Steneberg, Heinz Ohff, Hanns Theodor Flemming, Christian Chruxin und Peter Lufft, die in letzter Zeit verstorben sind, kann kaum noch jemand Zeugnis von Henryk Berlewi geben.  Die Berlewi-Forschung wird dadurch erschwert, aber nicht unmöglich. Eckhard Neumann hat viele Zeugnisse hinterlassen, die diese Arbeit unterstützen werden. Zu einem zweiten vereinbarten Gespräch kam es nicht mehr.&lt;br /&gt;Eckhard Neumann sagte 1982 über die erste bekannte, realisierte Arbeit von Stankowski: Das mit Abwandlungen jahrzehntelang verwendete Signet für  »Gilde-Muster«-Teppiche sei als Grundriss eines Raumes, in dem ein Teppich liegt, zu verstehen. Als ehemaliger Plakatmaler und Dekorateur muss ihm das direkt aufgefallen sein. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eckhard Neumann ist am 24. März 2006 laut Todesanzeige in der FAZ vom 01. April 2006  in Frankfurt gestorben und wurde am 13. April 2006 in Frankfurt beigesetzt. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sebastian Gaiser, Henryk Berlewi Archive, München&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;!--EndFragment--&gt;   &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4823260112438740721-3737327426371872538?l=henrykberlewiarchive.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://henrykberlewiarchive.blogspot.com/feeds/3737327426371872538/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://henrykberlewiarchive.blogspot.com/2006/04/henryk-berlewi-anton-stankowski-und.html#comment-form' title='0 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4823260112438740721/posts/default/3737327426371872538'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4823260112438740721/posts/default/3737327426371872538'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://henrykberlewiarchive.blogspot.com/2006/04/henryk-berlewi-anton-stankowski-und.html' title=''/><author><name>.</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
