Abstract Expression and Beyond American Painting in the Collection Reinhard Ernst ISBN: 9783777438740 (HB - EN) € bestellen verlanglijst This lavishly illustrated publication shows outstanding works of post-war American art prior to the opening of the Museum Reinhard Ernst in Wiesbaden. From Josef Albers via Helen Frankenthaler to Andy Warhol and Julian Schnabel, they illustrate the impressive variety of abstract positions on the other side of the Atlantic. The multifaceted wealth of some 70 years of American abstraction offers a glimpse of influential individual works and groups of artists like the New York School and the Washington Color School. The expressive interplay of forms confronts rigorous geometric compositions, picturesque works enter into a dialogue with sculptural objects. Despite their diversity, the 110 works by 45 artists emphasise above all a great delight in colour.
