"In 1977, Max Neuhaus turned a triangle of pedestrian space between 45th and 46th Streets in Times Square into an island of harmonic sound. The rich textures of that sound continue today, emanating from beneath the sidewalk grating, to anonymously reach an individual's ears as if one has stumbled upon a secret. Known as "Times Square," the celebrated installation was restored in 2002 with support from Dia Art Foundation, which further co ..."
"A matrix of life, nature and the cosmos, Antje Majewski's World of Gimel is the artist's own private universal museum in a nutshell, featuring a septet of objects: a clay teapot in the form of a human hand, a shell, a pot made of fragrant wood, a Buddha's hand citron, a hedge apple, a white stone, a meteorite―acquired by Majewski during her numerous travels and encounters. The exhibition is a book; the book is an exhibition; the World o ..."

"Painter Christopher Wool has written, "Some of the best stand-up performance I ever saw was Martin [Kippenberger] telling jokes in the back of some bar or restaurant." Which is not to dismiss the legendary German artist, who was at the forefront of the much-storied Cologne art scene of the early 1990s--Kippenberger, who died in 1997, used humor like a laser, to illuminate power structures and taboos. One of the most important artists of ..."

"The I, the own bodyBODY CHECK presents two illustrious artists of the late 20th century who, in an era dominated by abstract painting and nascent political correctness, ventured to spotlight in their artistic work the human body, primarily their own. In their depictions, they stage both the female and male body in a grotesque manner, theatrically dramatizing the torso as well as the limbs, head, eyes, hands, and feet. Maria Lassnig (191 ..."
"New York-based artist Terry Winters is known for paintings, drawings and prints that oscillate between figuration and abstraction. Rooted in Minimalism, Winters' work reflects his career-long investment in the historical and contemporary stakes of painting, and references ambiguous forms sourced from the sciences, mathematics and architecture. These forms subtly suggest any number of objects--maps, blueprints, seeds, spores, shells, fun ..."

"Karl Neubacher war hauptsächlich Grafikdesigner. Seine Plakate, die künstlerische Konzepte als Basis hatten, sind legendär. Durch das Miteinander von Gebrauchskunst und Formen der Konzept- und Medienkunst erzeugte er ein kreatives Spannungsfeld; Foto und Film waren dabei die Hauptausdrucksmittel. Neubachers Kunst ist deshalb im Kontext der Medienkunst zu rezipieren: ihre Aktualität wird so anschaulich.Zentral für Neubachers Arbeiten war ..."
