Richard Tuttle "Craft" at the Annemarie Verna Galerie, Zurich |
|
|
 |
|
|
‚Say it! No ideas but in things.‘ (William Carlos Williams ‚Paterson‘ 1946) No ideas that can be separated, detached from things. No objects, no articles, just things, self-evident and incomprehensible, imbued with an important measure of undecidability. They are because they are art. Material and symbol, found and formed into the work, small and equipped with an internal structure, complex and highly differentiated.
‚Craft‘ – Richard Tuttle gave this designation to the fifteen works of this exhibition. Continue ... |

|
|
 |
|
|
75 Jahre nach der Ausstellung von Giorgio de Chirico im Kunsthaus Zürich von 1933 wird dem grossen Künstler erstmals wieder in der Schweiz eine museale Schau gewidmet. Gezeigt wird eine konzentrierte Retrospektive mit rund 60 Gemälden und 20 Zeichnungen aus Schweizer Museen und Privatsammlungen. Dazu kommt eine Auswahl der wichtigsten druckgraphischen Werke aus den zwanziger und dreissiger Jahren, die de Chiricos Nähe zu den Dichtern Guillaume Apollinaire und Jean Cocteau widerspiegeln. Manche der in Winterthur gezeigten Werke waren bis heute nur selten öffentlich zu sehen, und so bringt die Ausstellung manche Überraschung. Dazu zählt das seit 1923 nicht mehr gezeigte erste metaphysische Bild, L’énigme d’un après-midi d’automne, das de Chirico 1909 malte, nachdem er vor der Kirche Santa Croce in Florenz die verstörende Erfahrung der Fremdheit der Dinge gemacht hatte.
