“The best ways to achieve one’s goal continue to be the simplest: The handshake; holding up children; listening accompanied by the attentive ‘mmh’ and ‘aha’; relaxed speech combined with the expansive gesture for the purposes of underscoring that which is said; answering questions by using uncomplicated words; the slapping of the shoulder (with and without praise); eye contact;” Gila Lustiger, The Ashe Encyclopedia

The Populism Catalogue documents the four exhibitions at Contemporary Art Centre, Vilnius; National Museum of Art, Architecture and Design, Oslo; Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam and Frankfurter Kunstverein, Frankfurt/M. It features works of fiction as a literary approach to the theme of populism.

Künstler vor der Kamera aus der Perspektive von vier Fotografen. Die unmittelbare fotografische Abbildung des schöpferischen Menschen gehört zu den interessantesten Herausforderungen, weil die Darstellung im Zusammenhang mit einer Bildwelt entstehen und mit dieser in Dialog treten kann. Vier unterschiedliche Herangehensweisen dokumentieren die Möglichkeiten künstlerischer Inszenierung im Medium Fotografie in den letzen 60 Jahren.

Born in Duisburg, Germany, in 1958, Andrea Stappert had made a life’s work of quietly observing and documenting the European art world’s most interesting personalities. She moved to Hamburg in 1979, where she studied painting with Sigmar Polke and other instructors at the Academy of Fine Arts, and moved to Cologne in 1985.

It was there that Stappert began her career as a photographer, initially taking portraits of German artist Martin Kippenberger. Always analogue and using natural light and settings, the autodidact’s work has since focused on the artist portrait, a logical extension of her close collaboration – and often friendships – with artists and other art-world figures. In 1998, Stappert moved to Berlin and has subsequently collaborated with a number of major art institutions in Germany and around the world. She currently lives in Berlin.

Michael Werner launched his first gallery in 1963, opening with the first exhibition of Georg Baselitz. Galleries were later established in Cologne (1969) and New York (1990). Michael Werner has worked with, and helped to launch, several of the most important artists of the twentieth century, including Marcel Broodthaers, James Lee Byars, Peter Doig, Jörg Immendorff, Per Kirkeby, Markus Lüpertz, A.R. Penck, Sigmar Polke and Don Van Vliet. This 580-page catalogue presents more than 800 artworks from the collection of Germany’s most renowned art dealer, including works from his donation to the Musée d’art moderne de la Ville de Paris. Thirty-nine artists–among them Arp, Picabia, Kirchner, Fautrier, Manzoni, Klein, Broodthaers, Beuys, Filliou and Byars–are represented in 20 chapters, where they are juxtaposed with commentary by contemporary critics. An appendix lists the works in the collection, all the shows of Michael Werner Gallery and a bibliography of its many publications.
