Burning his early paintings and producing his 1970 Cremation Project, John Baldessari embarked on a new quest to explore the relationships between painting and language, images and text, originality and authorship. This overview of his works up to the early 1980s, encompassing film, photography, and painting, show him rooting around with characteristic humor and poignancy.

In this volume the Viennese Museum Moderner Kunst Stiftung Ludwig collaborates with the National Museum of China to present an overview of contemporary art in China. The survey opens with an assessment of the Cynical Realism movement, that defiant brand of (mostly) painting which developed in the more liberal cultural climate after the death of Mao Zedong. In the visual vocabulary of Cynical Realism, human figures are often grotesquely exaggerated by the clarity of their rendering, facial expressions are subtly or explicitly contorted and crowds amass in oppressive agglomerations. But as the moniker would suggest, this is not Expressionism-a certain matter-of-factness pervades the work of this movement, whose best-known exponents may be Fang Lijun, Yue Minjun and Zhang Xiaogang. Examining younger artists such as Liu Xiaodong, Shen Ling, Chen Wenling, Cui Xiuwen and Jiu Jianhua, China Facing Reality locates a generation which has turned to digital photography, video, film and computer animation to articulate related concerns of alienation and surfeit. Works by artists such as Miao Xiaochun, Song Tao, Song Dong and Yang Zhenzhong grapple with the city as an unstable backdrop whose daily flux produces escapist worlds in which the archaic and the ultramodern permeate one another.

The book "Museum der Wünsche" presents highlights from the mumok'scollections (Wassily Kandinsky, Paul Klee, Alberto Giacometti, PietMondrian, František Kupka, René Magritte, Pablo Picasso, etc.) togetherwith works that are still available in the market and might complement and expand the collections in thematic terms. Given the scant acquisitions budgets that now hamper efforts to purchase additional works of art at almost all museums, this form of presentation is an ideal way to win the support of private patrons and sponsors. The museum hopes to buy works by Cy Twombly, Dan Flavin, Blinky Palermo, and Fred Sandback, among others; by acquiring art by younger artists such as Monika Sosnowska, Phil Collins, Tacita Dean, and Stephen Prina, it wishes to open its doors to the twenty-first century.
