Wie die Häuser in den Himmel wuchsen. Die Geschichte des Bauens.

Vom Diebstahl der Mona Lisa 1911 bis zum Juwelenraub im Grünen Gewölbe 2019 – dieses Buch steckt voller fesselnder und unglaublicher Geschichten: es erzählt von gewieften Mafia-Clans, als Polizisten verkleideten Tätern, findigen Kunstdetektiven, zerschnittenen Gemälden, besessenen Kunstliebhabern und Lösegeldforderungen in Millionenhöhe – Fälle wie aus einem Kriminalroman, die aber das Leben schrieb. Weltberühmt wurde die Mona Lisa erst durch ihren Raub. Als sie im August 1911 verschwand, bemerkte das zunächst niemand. Aber als die Museumsbesucher in Scharen zu der leeren Wand pilgerten und davor Blumen ablegten, war sie bald in aller Munde. Glücklich in den Louvre zurückgekehrt, ist sie heute eins der bekanntesten und bestbewachten Kunstwerke überhaupt. Wie konnte ein solcher Diebstahl ausgeführt werden, wie wurde er aufgedeckt und was waren die Beweggründe des Täters? Susanna Partsch geht diesen Fragen in ihrem Buch nach und stellt neben der Mona Lisa noch viele weitere spektakuläre Fälle vor – darunter ein Rembrandt, der viermal hintereinander geklaut wurde, ein Fluchtwagen voller van Goghs, der wegen einer Reifenpanne auf der Strecke blieb, oder ein Picasso, der von der Yacht eines saudischen Scheichs gestohlen und als Scheck im Drogendealer- und Waffenhändlermilieu verwendet wurde. Eine spannende und zugleich unterhaltsame Lektüre für jeden Kunstliebhaber!

The prince of decadence: Looking at Klimt in a whole new light: a groundbreaking monograph The countless events being held to celebrate the 150th anniversary of his birth make a clear statement to the enduring appreciation for the work of Gustav Klimt. Not that it takes such a special occasion for the press and the public to start talking about Klimt. More than two hundred articles about the artist appeared online in August 2011 alone, in comparison with barely seventy on Rembrandt within the same period. This media publicity set editor Tobias G. Natter thinking about the value of compiling the present book. During his lifetime, Klimt was a controversial star whose works made passions run high; he stood for Modernism but he also embodied tradition. His pictures polarized and divided the art-loving world. Journalists and general public alike were split over the question: For or against Klimt? The present publication therefore places particular emphasis upon the voices of Klimt's contemporaries via a series of essays examining reactions to his work throughout his career. Subjects range from Klimt's portrayal of women to his adoption of landscape painting in the second half of his life. The cliché that Gustav Klimt was a man of few words who rarely put pen to paper is vehemently dispelled: no less than 179 letters, cards, writings and other documents are included in this monograph. This wealth of archival material, assembled here for the first time on such a scale, represents a major contribution to Klimt scholarship. Defining features of this edition: Catalog of Klimt's complete paintings All known letter correspondence Featuring new photographs of the Stoclet Frieze commissioned exclusively for this book Contributing authors: Evelyn Benesch, Marian Bisanz-Prakken, Rainald Franz, Anette Freytag, Christoph Grunenberg, Hansjörg Krug, Susanna Partsch, Angelina Pötschner and Michaela Reichel

Life and Work

Klimt, Gustav

Meet a giant of 20th-century modernism with this introduction to Paul Klee, the Swiss-born painter whose highly individual style combined Cubism, Expressionism, and Surrealism in sun-drenched landscapes, child-like figures, and enigmatic symbols. Though typically small in scale, Klee's works are remarkable for their sophisticated thought and...

Paul Klee, 1879-1940

Geometrical figures and hieroglyphic elements: The delightfully unclassifiable work of a master painter Designated as "degenerate" by the Nazis, Paul Klee (1879-1940) is today considered one of the most important artists of the 20th century. His works stand out for the variety in their forms of artistic expression. His Tunisian water-colours depicting landscape, architecture and, above all, the North African light of this Mediterranean land constitute the true beginning of Klee's painting career. Although these paintings still fall under the heading of 'objective, ' they already exhibit indications of his tendency toward abstraction and a language of forms. Geometrical figures and hieroglyphic elements characterize the majority of these works, which for this reason seem reminiscent of 'naive' and playful children's painting. In reality, however, Klee's paintings have their roots in theoretical considerations, their recurrent symbols conveying personal and at times political content.

Poet of Colours, Master of Lines

The enfant terrible of the Viennese art scene, Klimt was notorious for his portraits of beautiful women. Illustrated with color reproductions, this book profiles the women who figured in the artist's life and on his canvases. The author looks beyond the standard assumption that Klimt was a hardhearted philanderer, pointing instead to his committed and loving relationship with Emilie Floge that prevailed despite the parade of beautiful women who wandered in and out of the artist's studio. Partsch demonstrates Klimt's role in the evolution of portrait painting, which helped usher in the age of Expressionism."

Painter of Women

"Gustav Klimt's beautiful, ornamental, and often gilded paintings, as well as his remarkable depictions of women, have made him world famous. The milieu and achievements of this remarkable artist are portrayed through handsome color reproductions and a comprehensive text. This volume is a tribute to an artist who continues to engage, surprise, and fascinate us."--Amazon.

The entertaining companion novel to the best-selling The Sweet Second Life of Darrell Kincaid. Michelle Lawrence's perfect life has been just as she's designed it. But then her husband, Chad, ruins everything by taking a job in San Francisco, about as far from their comfortable family home as it's possible to get without actually emigrating. Up until now, Chad's primary focus has been keeping her happy, and Michelle can see no good reason why this should change. But change it has, and Michelle now has to deal with Chad's increasing detachment, while building a new life with her two small children in a place filled with cat-eating coyotes. On top of that, Michelle's oldest friend is turning against marriage while her newest is a little too obsessed with clean taps. And down the redwood-lined street, there's Aishe Herne, a woman who could pick a fight with a silent order of nuns. Aishe has designed her own kind of perfect life, in which there's room for her, her teenage son and no one else. But when cousin Patrick lands in town like a Cockney nemesis, both Aishe and Michelle must begin determined campaigns to regain their grip on the steering wheel of their lives.

Franz Marc

Animal expressions: Franz Marc's search for a universal art Franz Marc (1880-1916) became known principally for his images of animals: blue horses, yellow tigers, red fawns. What was it that led him to concentrate on painting animals? Marc himself explained his choice of subject matter in these words: "From an early date I felt humankind to be 'ugly'; animals seemed to me possessed of a greater beauty and purity..." Seeing Marc merely as a painter of animals proves, however, premature. Marc, cofounder of the Blauer Reiter group of Expressionist artists, was deeply dissatisfied with the impurity of the world, and was on a quest for a universal art which would resolve the contrarieties of life in the harmony of creation. Using pure colors highly charged with symbolic values, adopting crystalline shapes, and absorbing the influence of Cubism, he moved steadily towards an abstract order of image, coming closer to his own understanding of a better world. At the age of 36, Franz Marc's life was cut short when he died in the Battle of Verdun.
