Suzanne Duchamp: Dada's hidden gem Suzanne Duchamp came from a famous family of artists: her brothers were Marcel Duchamp, Raymond Duchamp-Villon, and Jacques Villon. As a Dadaist and painter, she developed a delicate, cryptic, and humorous visual language and made her own unique contribution to the history of art. Nevertheless, she has remained largely unknown to a wider public. This catalogue accompanying her comprehensive retrospective in Zurich and Frankfurt curated by Talia Kwartler in collaboration with Cathérine Hug and Ingrid Pfeiffer presents work that Duchamp created during her association with Dada as well as further works works from earlier and later decades. Many of the over 80 artworks, documents, and photographs are being published for the first time. Complemented by latest scholarly findings by internationally renowned authors, this book thus gives Suzanne Duchamp the recognition she deserves.

The first monograph to explore the narrative, dreamlike paintings of British artist Tom AnholtThrough layered storytelling and vivid allegory, Tom Anholt’s paintings traverse between the cosmic and the everyday. Anholt constructs serene, psychologically rich scenes in which the natural meets the manmade, often illuminated by glowing moonlight that reflects off watery expanses. His modern-day fables speak to our perpetual and vital desire for wonderment, human interaction, and love.This book, the first to survey his career from 2016 to the present, shows the range of Anholt’s work through a selection of sixty carefully chosen paintings. An art-historical overview is followed by short texts on individual paintings from world-leading curators as well as writers that cross the disciplines Anholt is drawn to, including music, education, and astrophysics.

Kerry James Marshall: The Histories is the most extensive publication on the artist to date, celebrating half a century of his work. It reveals the complex ways in which he has transformed histories of Western painting, centering Black bodies in ambitious compositions set in barber shops, public housing projects, parks, and beauty salons. It charts his use of portraiture to memorialise individuals such as Nat Turner, Harriet Tubman, and Olaudah Equiano. A new series, illustrated here for the first time, looks at under-acknowledged aspects of the history of Africa. With lavish illustrations of all the works in the accompanying exhibition, it also includes chapters on Marshall’s Rythm Mastr project and his various public commissions including his stained glass windows for the cathedral in Washington D.C.. A survey by Mark Godfrey is accompanied by shorter essays by Aria Dean, Darby English, Madeleine Grynsztejn, Cathérine Hug, Nikita Sena Quarshie, Rebecca Zorach, and an interview between Kerry James Marshall and Benjamin H.D. Buchloh.

Kunst schafft betörende Illusionen für unsere Sinne, die unser Gehirn zu einem erhabenen Glücksgefühl katalysiert. Bei den Gemälden «Grosser Meister» rezipiert der Betrachter das Ganze und übersieht oft Details, die im vorliegenden Buch aus mehreren Tausend Kunstwerken aufgespürt und aus der Perspektive der Dermatologie eingeordnet und vergleichend mit Krankheitsbildern interpretiert werden. Alterungsprozesse, Muttermale, Neubildungen, Veränderungen an Hautanhangsgebilden, Binde- und Fettgewebe, an Gefässen und Nerven stören die Makellosigkeit des Inkarnats und wurden daher -wenn überhaupt- meist unbewusst ohne medizinische Sachkenntnis vom Künstler in der zweidimensionalen Form eines Portraits dargestellt.Hingegen werden bei den dreidimensionalen dermatologischen Wachsmoulagen die krankhaften Veränderungen an der Haut in bester akademischer Absicht bewusst möglichst naturgetreu und wirklichkeitsnah abgebildet.Der Versuch einer Erkundung von Parallelen zwischen Hautdarstellungen einst und heute zeigt, dass sich am Perfektionswahn und dem Streben nach Makellosigkeit des Inkarnates damals wie heute nichts geändert hat und die wirklichkeitsgetreue Darstellung häufig dem vermeintlichen Schönheitsideal geopfert und alles Krankhafte oder Anormale verdeckt wird.Art creates beguiling illusions for our senses, which catalyzes our brain into a sublime feeling of happiness. In the paintings of “Great Masters”, the viewer admires the whole painting and often overlooks details that are tracked down in the present book from several thousand works of art, classified from the perspective of dermatology and interpreted comparatively with clinical pictures. Aging processes, moles, neoplasms, changes in skin appendages, connective and fatty tissue, vessels and nerves disturb the flawlessness of the incarnate and were therefore - if at all - usually unconsciously depicted by the artist in the two-dimensional form of a portrait without medical expertise.On the other hand, in the three-dimensional dermatological wax moulages, the pathological changes of the skin are deliberately depicted as realistically as possible with the best academic intentions.The attempt to explore parallels between skin representations then and now shows that nothing has changed in the perfection mania and the striving for flawlessness of the incarnate then as now and that the realistic representation is often sacrificed to the supposed ideal of beauty and everything pathological or abnormal is concealed.

Hingegen werden bei den dreidimensionalen dermatologischen Wachsmoulagen die krankhaften Veränderungen an der Haut in bester akademischer Absicht bewusst möglichst naturgetreu und wirklichkeitsnah abgebildet.

Der Versuch einer Erkundung von Parallelen zwischen Hautdarstellungen einst und heute zeigt, dass sich am Perfektionswahn und dem Streben nach Makellosigkeit des Inkarnates damals wie heute nichts geändert hat und die wirklichkeitsgetreue Darstellung häufig dem vermeintlichen Schönheitsideal geopfert und alles Krankhafte oder Anormale verdeckt wird.
