Die ersten Bände des mit über 40 Bände umfassenden geplanten Werkverzeichnisses des Künstlers Michael Müller - ein einzigartiges über Jahrzehnte angelegtes Vorhaben - bieten einen Überblick über das malerische uvre Müllers. Sie dokumentieren zahlreiche Werke, gruppiert nach Serien und Werkgruppen. Zu allen Arbeiten werden neben den Werkangaben umfangreiche Informationen geliefert: Ausstellungshistorie, Provenienz, Literaturverweise und persönliche Anmerkungen des Künstlers zu Entstehungsgeschichte und Werkinhalt. Zusätzlich erschließen Texte namhafter Autor/-innen den Bilderkosmos von Müller und machen die Komplexität, Vielschichtigkeit und visuelle Kraft der oft großformatigen Gemälde erfahrbar, die immer wieder auf zentrale Werke der Kunstgeschichte anspielen und doch stets eine eigenständige künstlerische Sprache behalten.
Band 1.1. stellt Müllers malerisches Werk von 1982 bis 2016 erstmals vollständig und ausführlich vor. Mit begleitenden Essays von Anne-Marie Bonnet und Tobias Vogt sowie einem Vorwort von Hubertus von Ameluxen.
About the author
The
Berlin-based, German-British-Indian artist
Michael Müller, born in Ingelheim am
Rhein in 1970, explores the aesthetics and visualisation of complex thought
processes in his artistic production. The conceptual artist's extremely
diverse, constantly expanding oeuvre defi es one-sided interpretation or
classification. Michael Müller works with different forms of artistic
expression, continually expanding them; he combines works on paper with
painting, texts, sculpture, objets trouvés, music and performance - and also
sees curating as artistic practice. His large-format paintings, drawings,
installations and sculptures, on which he works over periods of several months,
are exhibited internationally. Michael Müller studied sculpture and fi ne arts
at the Kunstakademie in Düsseldorf and has taught as a visiting professor at the
Universität der Künste Berlin. Comprising over 40 volumes with the ambiguous
title "Ernstes Spiel" (Serious Play), the planned catalogue raisonné of Michael
Müller's art is a unique undertaking. It will introduce the near inexhaustible
oeuvre with close collaboration from the artist himself, providing a
comprehensive overview of the painting and graphic art, sculpture,
installations and performances. In addition, it will present Müller's texts,
which cover a spectrum of different disciplines - the natural sciences, poetry
and linguistics, philosophy, and music. The catalogue raisonné, published in
German, English and Chinese, is a project spanning several decades and, in
addition to detailed documentation, will also offer a classification of
Müller's art by renowned authors.
