	ALFRED KUBIN - A FEW NOTES INSPIRED BY THE EXHIBITION
	One of the oldest preserved works by Alfred Kubin (1877 - 1959) dates back to 1883. The pencil drawing is entitled Magician - the six year-old Kubin depicted a witch gathering full of levitating demons, bats, snakes, skeletons, even a coffin, a royal crown, military medals, and bishop’s staff, etc. The technical aspect of the work does not surprise one very much as it corresponds with Kubin’s age…

	THE POWER OF UTA WEBER’S DOTS
	"Joyful and colorful dots are slowly changing faces of galleries and facades of buildings in Germany. This is how it happened... A few years ago, artist Uta Weber was munching on Toffifee. Eating one after another, they stuck in her mind. Her installation at Maikäfer Flieg in Cologne was a celebration of them at its best. Enlarged and perfectly rendered sweets lost their connection to their…

	METRO AND AMERICA
	"Martin Kippenberger’s MetroNet-Connection project which he was developing several years before his death in 1997 consists in design and realization of seven sculptural installations representing architectural variations of metro entrances and exits.

A PLAY ON ART: ART BOOK

It is not immediately apparent that all of David Stairs’ artists’ books were done by the same person. Automatic Ambiance is in the form of long black-and-white photostrips, and documents a night spent in a photobooth. Tactical Aesthetics has a conventional format. Pages of text alternate with full-page color photographs of dioramas. In one diorama, toy soldiers march through a plate of blintzes.…

GLASS USED IN SHOP WINDOWS/COMMODITIES IN SHOP WINDOWS

"The glass used for the show-case displaying products isolates the consumer from the product at the same time as it superimposes the mirror-reflection of his own image onto the goods displayed. This alienation, paradoxically, helps arouse the desire to possess the commodity. The goods are often displayed as part of a human mannequin - an idealized image of the consumer. Glass isolates (draws…

I HATE THE RAIN

"It was 5:20 on a Friday evening and the Staten Island ferry was packed with people who looked like they live in Nebraska. Not that I’ve ever been to Nebraska - I’m just guessing.A woman told her companion that she didn’t want to sit on the boat’s lower level. “Where the fuck do you want to sit?“ he barked back. No one flinched. A guy with mutton chop sideburns wearing a red shirt, purple pants…

Slavka Kneppo:

Pověsti o těžkých časech na trhu s uměním jsou opět velmi přehnané...

Letošní 50. ročník Art Basel přilákal celkem 93 000 návštěvníků a sběratelů z 80 zemí světa. 290 prémiových galerií představilo umělecká díla od počátku 20. století až po současnost. Hlavní sektor přehlídky, tradičně v prvním patře výstavního prostoru, představil 232 předních galerií z celého světa nabízející umění nejvyšší kvality. Veletrh ukázal vzestupný trend prodeje prostřednictvím galerií jak soukromým sbírkám, tak i institucím. Kromě hlavního veletrhu stály za návštěvu i ty přidružené: Volta, Liste a Photo Basel, k tomu doprovodné programy a výstavy v místních institucích, které kvalitou daleko přesahují hranice města tj. Kunsthalle Basel, Kunstmuseum, Tinguely muzeum nebo Fondation Beyeler.
