UNDENIABLE ME - Ausstellung Galerie Rudolfinum, Prag

Gerhard Richter schuf in den Jahren 1971/72 In fotorealistischer Manier eine Serie von 48 Porträtbildern von Persönlichkeiten, die die Moderne beeinflussten. Auf einen imaginären Betrachter in zentraler Position ausgerichtet, geben sie den Eindruck eines modernen Heldenfrieses. Genau zwanzig Jahre nach Entstehung dieser Arbeit, die ausschliesslich Männer darstellt, antwortete der österreichische Künstler Gottfried Helnwein 1991/92 mit einem Zyklus von 48 Porträtbildern ausschliesslich weiblicher Persönlichkeiten. Als Gegenpol zum kühlen Grau der Serie Richters bediente Helnwein sich warmer Rottöne. 1994 erwarben die Sammler Peter und Irene Ludwig die Werkgruppe, die seitdem, wie auch Richters Arbeit, Teil der Sammlung des Museum Ludwig ist. Die Galerie Rudolfinum in Prag hat nun im Zentrum ihrer Ausstellung 'Undeniable Me' beide Werkgruppen zum ersten Mal einander gegenübergestellt. mehr...

Aus Österreich grüßt schließlich Gottfried Helnwein mit seiner „Midnight Mickey“ von 2001, die doch etwas gefährlicher zu sein scheint als Warhols Exemplar (Taxe 80.000 bis 120.000 USD). mehr...

The-Helnwein-siblings-artful-life-in-L.A.

Los Angeles Times

Literature, art and classical music are just part of Mercedes and Ali Helnwein's DNA.

The Helnweins are cutting a wide swath through Los Angele's various scenes - the kind of creative energy that seems to come naturally. As children of the Austrian-Irish artist Gottfried Helnwein, siblings Mercedes and Ali experienced an unconventional and charmed upbringing. They lived in castles in Germany and Ireland, attended a private arts school in England and accompanied their father on trips to America, where they sold their drawings to hotel guests to buy stuffed animals at the gift shop. These days, Mercedes, 31, and Ali, 29, are drawing on that background in their own artistic endeavors: Mercedes as a novelist and visual artist and Ali as a composer and musician, with an emphasis on classical music. They bring a fresh, somewhat ironic playfulness to their chosen mediums that has attracted a raucous group of young fans not typically associated with traditional galleries or classical music concerts. In this way, they stand at a colorful intersection of L.A.'s literary, pop culture, visual art and music scene. And they are rarely at rest, working on several projects at once and often collaborating with each other on videos or performances. mehr...

Sentieri Selvaggi

Gottfried Helnwein (il geniale concept per The Golden Age of Grotesque)

Il corto contiene infatti tutti i clichè cari all'estetica del “Reverendo” (che ha annunciato il suo lungometraggio Phantasmagoria ormai dal 2004); temi già sviluppati ampiamente negli anni passati da artisti quali Floria Born Villain: Shia LaBeouf regista per Marilyn MansonSigismondi e E. Elias Merhige (i video) e Gottfried Helnwein (il geniale concept per The Golden Age of Grotesque). Quasi inevitabile per un esordiente come LaBeouf uscire dal confronto con le ossa spezzate. mehr...

La chimie, explique Djerassi, est un monde de machos. Mais les femmes ont toujours été au cœur de son univers, comme dans ce saisissant tableau du peintre austro-irlandais Gottfried Helnwein, accroché dans son appartement viennois : affleurant tel un hologramme sous la surface presque noire, on devine un visage familier, celui de Simone de Beauvoir. mehr...

Walt Disney's DONALD DUCK by Carl Barks

However, the weight of Barks's effect on the world runs much deeper and often along more indirect paths than such explicit influence. For example, conceptual artist extraordinaire Gottfried Helnwein once described a moment of revelation in Europe after World War II: " Opening my first Carl Barks Donald Duck comic book felt like seeing the daylight again for someone who had been trapped underground by a mine-disaster." mehr...

Für diese großen Bilder, die unter anderen von William Wegman, Gottfried Helnwein und Peter Beard geknipst wurden, war eine extra angefertigte Kamera notwendig

Fertige Bilder auf Knopfdruck - was in Zeiten von Digitalkameras und Fotodrucker das Selbstverständlichste auf der Welt ist, erschien in den 1970er Jahren geradezu revolutionär. Auch viele Künstler, von Andy Warhol über Ansel Adams und Gottfried Helnwein, verfielen dem geradezu magischen Aspekt der Polaroid-Kameras und schufen - mit unterschiedlichsten Konzepten, aber mit demselben Originalmaterial - beeindruckende Werke. mehr...

Stephen Farthing

In Europe, Hyperrealist painters included Austrian Gottfried Helnwein (b. 1948). He first used a hyperrealist technique to portray extremes of suffering. His later works tackle the theme of Nazism and the Holocaust, most famously in his "Epiphany" series (1996-98). In "Epiphany I" (Adoration of the Magi) SS officers with a mother and a child represent the Magi and the Virgin Mary and Jesus, with the child being admired as an example of Aryan perfection. mehr...
