Description
Book Synopsis
(English / German Edition) Informal art developed into the dominant art movement in Europe from the early 1950s to the early 1960s. The art historical view of this art movement, which is detached from classical principles of form and design, has so far mostly focused on its male representatives. The volume now takes a new look at the art of Informel and honors high-profile positions by 16 female artists. In addition to well-known names such as Maria Lassnig, Brigitte Meier-Denninghoff, Judit Reigl and Maria Helena Vieira da Silva, long-forgotten artists are being rediscovered. Using art-sociological questions about networks, participation in exhibitions and reception, the mechanisms of the art world are also investigated.

Die informelle Kunst entwickelte sich vom Beginn der 1950er- bis zu den frühen 1960er-Jahren zu der vorherrschenden Kunstrichtung in Europa. Der kunsthistorische Blick auf diese von klassischen Form- und Gestaltungsprinzipien losgelöste Kunstrichtung fokussierte sich bislang meist auf ihre männlichen Vertreter. Der Band wirft nun einen neuen Blick auf die Kunst des Informel und würdigt hochkarätige Positionen von 16 Künstlerinnen. Neben bekannten Namen wie Maria Lassnig, Brigitte Meier-Denninghoff, Judit Reigl und Maria Helena Vieira da Silva werden lang vergessene Künstlerinnen wiederentdeckt. Anhand von kunstsoziologischen Fragen zu Netzwerken, Ausstellungsbeteiligungen und zur Rezeption wird zudem den Mechanismen des Kunstbetriebs nachgespürt.
