Cologne: »Here and Now at Museum Ludwig« exhibition series

A New Art Historical View of Ukrainian Modernism

Bohomazow Oleksandr Bohomazow, Schärfen der Sägen, 1927 Öl auf Leinwand 138 x 155 cm.

Conventions are there to be constantly re-examined. With its series Here and Now at Museum Ludwig, the Cologne exhibition house is pursuing this leitmotif and reflecting on the way Ukrainian Modernism has been dealt with up to now, which has so far been readily subsumed under the collective term of the »Russian avant-garde«. In Modernism in Ukraine 1900-1930 & Daria Koltsova, visitors look through new art historical glasses - and can also look forward to contemporary contributions.

Venice Biennal 2024

331 artists – this number alone is impressive. That is over 100 more than at the 2022 Biennale, which was already on a grand scale. Curated by Adriano Pedrosa, the 2024 edition promises to break new ground and be a »call to action« for the (art) world.

Is Beeple the blueprint of an artist in the 21st century? How a computer scientist shook up the art world with NFTs.

Features

The art world has many stories to tell. Not every one gets the attention it deserves. The Art.Salon presents institutions and personalities that stand out through creativity and commitment and even give a voice to those who are otherwise not heard.

Auction Market

90 Millionen Dollar für eine Arbeit von David Hockney, ein Warhol für 195 Millionen US-Dollar, Basquiats Untitled: 57 Millionen US-Dollar – Der Art.Salon hält die aberwitzigsten Auktionsergebnisse fest und berichtet über denkwürdige Versteigerungen.

Artist Portraits

Interviews

What affects your choice of colors? What made you start making artwork out of old books? You are in fact a mortician and now also gallery owner, how did that happen? Art.Salon allowed itself to ask artists questions that literally impose themselves when looking at the Art. The interviews with contemporary artists allow us to look deeply and understand better.

Controversy

Art makes politics – but that does not only refer to the work. Art politicizes itself not only through its creator. Also the scene reproduces injustices. The Art.Salon explored political controversies such as the gender pay gap and looted art.

Jean-Michel Basquiat

The life and work of an iconic artist who today regularly breaks auction records.

Louise Bourgeois

The indomitable artist Louise Bourgeois stirred up the U.S. art world until she was nearly 100 years old. Born near Paris in 1911, she reckoned with her oppressive family history until her death in 2010: Ambiguous genitalia, morbid massacre installations, oversized spiders, and numerous other creative works bear witness to this cathartic process.

Documenta Fifteen

The documenta is considered one of the most important exhibitions of contemporary art worldwide. Every five years, Kassel's "Museum of 100 Days", as the documenta in Kassel is also called, welcomes artists, cultural workers and visitors.

Art Market

For those on the outside, the art market is opaque and often poses a mystery. Trends are difficult to see from the outside, and being included in the circle of collectors leaves you perplexed at the beginning. The Art.Salon brings light into the darkness, where the art market is otherwise rather hidden.
