Helene Schjerfbeck

Helene Schjerfbeck (1862–1946) is one of the most important Finnish artists of the first half of the twentieth century. While her painterly oeuvre has attracted a great deal of attention in Scandinavia, she is largely unknown abroad. This comprehensive monograph introduces the life and work of the painter, with over 80 impressive works from all of her creative phases. The publication shows how, despite her physical isolation, the artist kept up with the art of her contemporaries through illustrations from art and fashion magazines. Here, both the famous self-portraits and the picture series The Convalescent, The Seamstress and The Death of Wilhelm von Schwerin play a crucial role, as do as numerous portraits of women and the less well-known male nudes and history paintings.

History & Criticism

This substantial and long-needed volume surveys the five-decade career of the popular German Minimalist painter and sculptor Imi Knoebel (born 1940). It features material from Knoebel's archive and reproductions of key works by the artist, from his early Line Pictures to his recent work. A pioneering and much-loved figure of 1960s abstraction, Knoebel continues to find fresh ways to experiment with form and color. Also included in this volume are essays by curator David Moos, art historian Marie-Amélie zu Salm-Salm and Knoebel's contemporaries Johannes Stüttgen and Max Wechsler. An in-depth descriptive catalogue of works further affirms this volume as an essential standard reference. It is published to accompany Knoebel's career retrospective at the Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg, on the occasion of his 75th birthday.
