"With more than 200 color and archival images, this handy volume presents the full scope of the museums’ Korean art collections.

"Alexander Calder (1898–1976) famously transposed modernist visual abstraction into three-dimensional space, initially doing so in the context of European abstract artists such as Mondrian. In 1933, leaving Paris for his native United States, he settled in an old farmhouse in Roxbury, Connecticut, where the forms of nature became a new source of inspiration for his creativity. By the summer of 1934, Calder was producing his first outdoor ..."

"Gebundenes BuchDas Schlüsselwerk des früh verstorbenen Malers Egon Schiele (1890-1918) entstand während nur knapp eines Jahrzehnts. Seine berühmten Aktdarstellungen ergründen ungeschönt das innerste Wesen des Menschen. Von nicht minder intensiver Körperlichkeit und herausfordernder Direktheit sind auch die Arbeiten von Jenny Saville (* 1970 in Cambridge). Der Katalog stellt erstmals beide künstlerischen Positionen einander gegenüber. ..."
"The core oeuvre of Austrian painter Egon Schiele (1890-1918) was produced within barely a decade, at the beginning of the twentieth century. His famous nudes probed the existential core of human experience. The paintings of British artist Jenny Saville (born 1970) are equally intense, with their physicality and confrontational stance. This catalogue brings the work of these two artists together for the first time. The stylistic and them ..."
