    Abstract: The abstract paintings of Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, Barnett Newman, Lee Krasner, Clyfford Still, Helen Frankenthaler, and others revolutionized the art world in the 1940s and 1950s and continue to inspire passionate arguments to this day. What were these artists trying to achieve? Who were the critical voices of the time that rallied public interest in Abstract Expressionism and sparked rancorous debate? Drawing on recent critical, historical, and biographical work, this lavishly illustrated book offers a sharp new focus on a pivotal art movement. It also presents an extensive commentary on the two most influential critics of postwar American art - Clement Greenberg and Harold Rosenberg - whose powerful views shaped perceptions of Abstract Expressionism and other contemporary art movements. In one essay, Norman L. Kleeblatt traces the influence of Abstract Expressionism into the mid-1970s and examines its connection to subsequent art styles. Other essays range from the literary and intellectual culture of New York during that period and an analysis of sculpture and representation to a discussion of Jewish issues in relation to postwar American Art. In addition, the book features a magisterial essay by eminent critic Irving Sandler and a copiously illustrated cultural timeline by Maurice Berger.

    Abstract: Das Jüdische Museum Berlin widmet Boris Lurie und seiner radikalen künstlerischen Auseinandersetzung mit dem 20. Jahrhundert eine große Retrospektive. Lurie ist ein Künstler, der von der Kunst und dem Kunsthandel politische Relevanz einforderte. Mit seinen viel diskutierten und umstrittenen Arbeiten klagt er eine Gesellschaft an, die der Auseinandersetzung mit Menschheitsverbrechen aus dem Weg zu gehen schien, indem sie ihre Zeugnisse zwischen Werbung und Alltagsbanalitäten verpackte. Luries Collagen konfrontieren den Betrachter mit dieser fragwürdigen Rezeption der Schoa und provozieren »Entsetzen und Faszination« (Volkhard Knigge). Denn Lurie verbindet den Ekel gegen eine Menschheit, die zu millionenfacher Vertreibung und Massenmord fähig war, mit dem Abscheu vor einem selbstgefälligen Kunstbetrieb, der mehr am finanziellen Gewinn als an der künstlerischen Aussage interessiert ist. Seine Zeichnungen schlagen hingegen einen anderen Ton an. Mit ihnen schuf der Künstler in der »War Series« von 1946 eine erste Bestandsaufnahme seiner eigenen Erfahrung von Verfolgung und Lagerhaft während der NS-Herrschaft. Mit seiner »Dance Hall Series« aus den 1950er- und 60er-Jahren wiederum entwarf er poetische Bilder seiner Zeit. Die Ausstellung entsteht in Kooperation und mit großzügiger Unterstützung der Boris Lurie Art Foundation in New York.

    Abstract: Helena Rubinstein (1872 - 1965), the great 20th-century cosmetics entrepreneur, changed the way women saw themselves, using her own remarkable life and spectacular art collections as a model. Rubinstein broke free from the constraints of her 19th-century, small-town, Polish Jewish background to become a giant of the beauty industry and an international household name. A key figure in the development of modern taste and style, she produced and marketed the means for ordinary women to assert their own individuality. Through her conception of the beauty salon as a place of modernist display, she empowered the modern woman to define herself through her choices in taste and decor. Helena Rubinstein: Beauty Is Power traces the path of this remarkable early feminist and visionary art patron. In Rubinstein̷s world, art and commerce blended seamlessly. She ornamented her salons and homes with splendid artworks̶Surrealist murals, modernist portraits, Art Deco furniture, Venetian mirrors, and one of the era̷s great collections of African and Oceanic art. Her understanding of beauty was similarly expansive and democratic: she saw the face as the site for self-expression and the exploration of identity. The Rubinstein beauty program thus included not only makeup and hairdressing, but also lessons in health, deportment, and culture. Such features, innovative at the time and wildly popular, today provide a fascinating glimpse into popular culture as it affected women in the 20th century.

    Abstract: The Jewish Museum Berlin is dedicating a major retrospective show to Boris Lurie and his radical artistic examination of the 20th century. Lurie is an artist who demanded political relevance from art and the art market. His much-discussed and controversial works accuse society of shirking coming to terms with its crimes against humanity by packing evidence of them between advertising and everyday banalities. His collages confront the viewer with the experience of persecution and prison camp in the Nazi era, provoking "horror and fascination" (Volkhard Knigge). For Lurie’s work reveals disgust toward a humanity that proved itself capable of exiling and murdering millions as well as revulsion against a self-satisfied art market more interested in financial profit than in artistic expression. His drawings, however, strike a different tone. In "War Series" of 1946, Lurie created an initial inventory of his own experience of persecution and camp imprisonment during the Nazi regime while his "Dancehall Series" of the 1950s and 60s depicts poetic images of his time.

    Abstract: When Modigliani died in Paris in 1920, at the age of thirty-five, he became the standard-bearer for the myth of the bohemian artist ̶ the unappreciated ̮artist-geniusŁ consoled by wine and drugs. This celebrated myth is based on details of the artist̷s colorful life. As captivating as such biography may be, it does little to further our understanding of the man or his art. The story of Modigliani̷s life has eclipsed his work, severing it from the ideas and cultural traditions that might otherwise reveal its many meanings. Such mythmaking has made one of the best-known early modernist artists one of the most misunderstood. The Jewish Museum presents the first major exhibition of Italian painter and sculptor Amedeo Modigliani (1884-1920) in New York since his 1951 retrospective at The Museum of Modern Art. An anomaly among the many foreign Jewish artists who lived in Paris during the early 1900s, Modigliani remained independent of any movement or style, and was known primarily for his reclining nudes and portraits with elegantly elongated features. Modigliani: Beyond the Myth shows the full range of the artist's oeuvre ̶ painting, drawing and sculpture ̶ in an effort to reevaluate his position within the development of twentieth-century European modernism. Unlike previous retrospectives, Modigliani: Beyond the Myth also explores the artist's heritage as an Italian Sephardic Jew, and how it contributed to the development of a unique style that melded formalist innovation with a variety of historical models from Egyptian and classical to African. More than 100 of Modigliani's works from collections in the United States, Europe, South America and Australia are featured in this retrospective.

    Abstract: Reinventing Ritual: Contemporary Art and Design for Jewish Life surveys the explosion of new Jewish rituals, art, and objects that has occurred since the mid-1990s. This period is defined by the urge to discover beauty and meaning in first premises - the roots and ruptures - when ritual could be radical. This attitude of innovation is shared by a wide range of artists inclusive of generation, nationality, and religion. Contemporary artists and designers focus on Judaism as a lived experience by transforming the physical acts of ritual into new forms

    Abstract: Sarah Bernhardt (1844 - 1923) was an extraordinary performer, so much so that her name became synonymous with acting. Yet her importance extended beyond the world of theatre - she was an icon of French nationalism, a target for both admiration and scorn, an artist and sculptor, and a trendsetting avatar of style. This fascinating book examines the many sides and talents of Bernhardt, from her beginnings at the Comedie Francaise through her international stardom. Wonderfully illustrated, the book features an unprecedented collection of images relating to Bernhardt's life, including paintings, posters, photographs, costumes, jewellery, stage designs, self-portraits and sculptures. Exhibition schedule: The Jewish Museum, New York, 2 December 2005 to 2 April 2006.

    Abstract: Although Hesse's revolutionary and enduringly influential sculptures--elegantly fluid abstractions made of latex, rope, and fiberglass that wed the organic with the industrial, the kinetic with the frozen--are always included in modern art surveys, this is the first comprehensive critical study and catalog of her work. Curator Sussman has assembled a strong cast of her peers to discuss various aspects of Hesse's daring oeuvre, from her high-voltage drawings to her use of unconventional materials, "love of line and collapsing form," and self-described "weird humor." Biographical observations are kept succinct, but there's no escaping the poignancy of Hesse's short and "extreme" life. Born in Hamburg in 1936, she fled the Holocaust as a child; her divorced mother committed suicide; her own marriage was unhappy; and she died of cancer at age 34. But her devotion to art was fierce, her talent precocious, and she accomplished in her last five feverish years what others couldn't achieve in decades. Unfortunately, her experimental sculptures are deteriorating, a loss that makes this gorgeously illustrated volume all the more precious. Donna Seaman

    Abstract: Das Jüdische Museum Berlin zeigt die erste umfassende Ausstellung über das Gesamtwerk des Malers R. B. Kitaj nach dessen Tod 2007. Geliebte und Feinde, virile Lebensphasen und Zeiten physischer Gebrechlichkeit, Politik, Geschichte, Literatur, Philosophie und nicht zuletzt die Frage nach der Zugehörigkeit zum Judentum, die sich weder über die Religion noch über den Zionismus herstellt, sind die Puzzleteilchen, aus denen Kitaj seine eindrucksvollen Bilder und Collagen schuf. Unbeeindruckt vom Massengeschmack arbeitete er gegen die Mode der Abstraktion in den 1960er Jahren figurativ und gehörte zu den Wegbereitern der britischen Pop-Art, zusammen mit David Hockney, Frank Auerbach, Lucian Freud und Leon Kossoff. Die Konfrontation mit der Geschichte des Massenmords an den europäischen Juden und die Auseinandersetzung mit dem Phänomen des Außenseiters provozierten ihn zu einer jüdischen Kunst der Moderne, die er "diasporisch" nannte, und die er farbenkräftig, motivreich und verrätselt entwarf. Heute befinden sich die Gemälde Kitajs in den bedeutenden Museen der Welt und in großen Privatsammlungen. Dank der großzügigen Unterstützung der Leihgeber, unter ihnen das Museum of Modern Art in New York, die Tate Gallery in London und die Sammlung Thyssen-Bornemisza in Madrid, konnte diese Ausstellung realisiert werden. Sie zeigt mit ca. 65 Gemälden, sowie Druckgrafik und Zeichnungen einen Überblick über alle Perioden des umfangreichen Œuvres.
