Abstract

Frederick Kiesler was a committed networker and communicated regularly with the who's who of the avant-garde. He was an important intermediary between the visionary ideas of the European Moderne movement and the up-and-coming New York art scene. About 20 contributions portray his colorful life and his multifaceted oeuvre in various contexts, and place Kiesler in a dialog with the most important artists and architects of his time. The publication on the occasion of the 20 year anniversary of the Friedrich Kiesler Foundation deals with his relationship with the Bauhaus, surrealism, and the New York School, as well as with personalities such as Richard Buckminster Fuller, Marcel Duchamp, Arshile Gorky, Theo van Doesburg, Piet Mondrian, Hans Arp, Sigfried Giedion, and others. Friedrich Kiesler war ein engagierter Netzwerker und stand mit dem Who's who der Avantgarde in regem Austausch. Er war ein wichtiger Vermittler zwischen den visionären Ideen der europäischen Moderne und der aufstrebenden New Yorker Kunstszene. Rund 20 Beiträge verorten sein schillerndes Leben und sein facettenreiches Werk in verschiedenen Kontexten und setzen Kiesler in einen Dialog mit den bedeutendsten Künstlern und Architekten seiner Zeit. Die Publikation anlässlich des 20-jährigen Bestehens der Friedrich Kiesler Stiftung behandelt sein Verhältnis zu Bauhaus, Surrealismus und New York School sowie zu Persönlichkeiten wie Richard Buckminster Fuller, Marcel Duchamp, Arshile Gorky, Theo van Doesburg, Piet Mondrian, Hans Arp, Sigfried Giedion u.a.

Abstract

The material for this book has been taken from the 2006 thesis, Frederick Kiesler's Art of This Century in New York, (1942-1947), in the Context of the Twentieth Century Art Museum. The prime objective was to establish why so few people remember Art of This Century, which Kiesler designed for Peggy Guggenheim in 1942, and she ruthlessly closed in 1947. A second aim was to investigate why there has been so research carried out on the Gallery, when it was acknowledged as a work of art in it...
