Blau International no. 13

In the 13th issue of Blau, Victor Man spends a few quiet days in Cluj with Cornelius Tittel. Cai Guo-Qiang gives an explosive exclusive to Frank Rose. At once the most famous and least known of great American artists, Andrew Wyeth is saluted by Andrew Winer. Charline von Heyl gets to the point of painting with Max Dax. Ushering in an age of innocence, Julie Greve collaborates with Marie Chaix. Hans Joachim-Müller holds a vigil for František Kupka. And the Antwerp studio of Bendt Eyckermans is photographed by François Halard.

Then, Andrew Winer introduces us to Grant Falardeau, an emerging LA sculptor who makes characters who make us human. An eternal vision of brotherhood is shaped by Otto Meyer-Amden. Udo Kittelmann passionately presents his collection of Margarete Heymann-Loebenstein ceramics. The monomymous Meuser talks heavy metal. Jarrett Earnest writes an ode to “Satyricon” from Fire Island. And Markus Lüpertz discusses the perfect academy with Nils Emmerichs and Cornelius Tittel.

Other highlights include: Leila Hekmat on Peter Greenaway, Slavoj Žižek announcing that Tristan dies without Isolde, Claes Juhlin on the Hollywood Hills home of Barry Lowen, Ulf Poschardt on the Ferrari 250 GT “Tour de France,” and, at the back, a particularly lively Charts.
