Christiane Löhr schafft einen einzigartigen skulpturalen und installativen Kosmos mit Materialien aus der Natur. Organische Elemente wie Flugsamen, Pflanzenstängel, Kletten, Baumblüten, Pferde- und Hundehaar nutzt sie als Konstruktionsmaterial für ihr organisch-abstraktes Formenrepertoire. Auf überraschende Weise transformiert sie die vergänglichen Materialien in präzise konstruierte, zarte Skulpturen, mal filigran, mal raumgreifend. Passend zu der groß angelegten Überblicksausstellung lässt sich der Katalog als eine Art Anthologie verstehen: Neben aktuellen Texten von Julia Wallner, Jutta Mattern, Astrid von Asten und Tiziano Scarpa vereint er Essays diverser Autor*innen zum Werk der Künstlerin aus den vergangenen Jahrzehnten. Ergänzt wird er durch In-Situ-Fotos der Skulpturen im lichtdurchfluteten Bau des Arp Museums Bahnhof Rolandseck von Richard Meier.CHRISTIANE LÖHR (*1965, Wiesbaden), die in Köln und in Prato in der Toskana arbeitet, ist eine der wichtigsten Stimmen im aktuellen Diskurs um neue, zeitbezogene Ansätze in der Skulptur. Ihre Werke sind weltweit zu sehen, u.a. war sie Teilnehmerin der von Harald Szeemann kuratierten 49. Biennale di Venezia. Einzelausstellungen wurden ihr in der Panza Collection, Varese, im Kunsthaus Baselland, im Skulpturenpark Waldfrieden, Wuppertal sowie im Haus am Waldsee, Berlin gewidmet.

The reissue of a historical exhibition catalogue and a new interview retrace important art relations between Italy and America after World War II

The horse has been represented in the history of art by almost every culture in every time period. In 1969, Jannis Kounellis (member of the Italian art movement Arte Povera) brought twelve living horses inside a gallery in Rome, creating a very reinterpreted image of the horse in an art context. Lara Nickel¿s homage is comprised of twelve life-size, realistic paintings of horses, positioned on the ground and installed perpendicularly to the wall. Presented in this non-traditional way, the images of horses appear to be standing in the room, making the architecture itself the setting of the paintings. Nickel¿s 12 Horses ¿ Homage to Jannis Kounellis uses painting as a sculptural intervention, inviting the audience to physically engage with the artwork. Using Kounellis¿ original piece as an art historical reference, Nickel¿s paintings are not only portraits of horses but painting-as-illusion, painting-as-object, and painting-as-situation.

Beauty, lifes triumph, is fleeting. It heightens the bodys sublime aspect, but beneath its effigy lies the spectre of passing time, and so the figure beauty has within it the spectre of decay. In this work, the author challenges himself by confronting one of the deepest philosophical and literary themes.
