Gerhard Richter
New scholarship explores Gerhard Richter's often overlooked early work.
Dadaism
In 1916 a meeting of artists, writers, émigrés and opposition figures took place in the Cabaret Voltaire in Zurich. Under the shadow of the First World War, this was the starting point for the dissemination of the artistic and literary style known as Dadaism.
Gerhard Richter and the Technological Condition of Painting
Aline Guillermet uncovers Gerhard Richter's appropriation of science and technology from 1960 to the present and shows how this has shaped the artist's well-documented engagement with the canon of Western painting. Through a study of Richter's portraits, history paintings, landscapes and ornamental abstractions, Guillermet reveals the artist's role in affirming the technological condition of painting in the second half of the twentieth century: a historical situation in which the medium and its conventions have become shaped, and to some extent transformed, by technological innovations.
Strategy: Get Arts
Based on close archival research, Christian Weikop (main author and guest editor) uncovers unknown and exciting narratives, as well as artist networks, concerning this provocative 1970 exhibition, held at ECA. The author has previously considered the British press reception of SGA in an article for Tate Papers, but this Studies in Photography-EUP book publication goes far beyond that article and any other scholarship on the exhibition by taking into account (for the first time) the contributions of all 35 artists based in Dusseldorf, and incorporating testimony of individuals who were involved in this landmark exhibition, or who were later engaged in archive exhibitions or recreation projects. Weikop explores the formation of the exhibition in the context of a late 1960s culture of protests and occupations, and demonstrates that SGA was a pivotal 'Shock of the New' moment that would leave its mark on art education.

Leben mit Pop
Gerhard Richter, Konrad Lueg, Sigmar Polke and Manfred Kuttner coined the term 'Capitalist Realism' on the occasion of their self-organised exhibitions in Düsseldorf in 1963. Although they only used the term themselves for a short period and quickly distanced themselves from their perception as a group of artists, Capitalist Realism represented a specific conception of art in post-war West Germany that has remained controversial to this day. This exhibition publication is the first fully dedicated to this important phenomenon. The main exhibitions and actions are documented in image and text and the international, art-historical and social context is illuminated from different perspectives. Both exhibition and catalogue substantiate the topicality of one of the most intense and influential tendencies of the postwar period.
The Essl Collection
The book is published in conjunction with the opening of the new museum Sammlung Essl in Klosterneuburg (Wien) on November 5, 1999.
