Frida Kahlo was just one of them: between
1930 and the 1960s many more women
artists contributed to the Surrealist move

male Surrealists surrounding André Breton
mostly saw them only as partners or
models, but this volume shows how much
more these women artists had to offer.

270 works by 36 international women artists
The dominant topic of male Surrealists was woman as goddess, she-devil,
doll, fetish, child-woman, android, and dream creature. The women artists

HIRMER HIGHLIGHTS
When considering the term icon, how can the
idea of cultic worship be connected with the
concept of the transcendental today? The quali-
ties of the traditional icon continue to have an
effect, particularly in the spiritual presence and
auratic power of many modern and contem-
porary artworks. This volume presents master
pieces which express aspects of spirituality
and reverence in a variety of individual ways.
60 stars – from the Byzantine devotional image 11
to Andy Warhol
The works extend from Russian icons via Caspar David Friedrich, Vasily
Kandinsky, Kazimir Malevich, Piet Mondrian, Mark Rothko and Yves Klein
to Andy Warhol, Niki de Saint Phalle, Isa Genzken and Andreas Gursky.
Everyday icons from the world of brands and pop culture complete the ICONS

HIRMER HIGHLIGHTS
The political collages of John Heartfield
(1891–1968) have earned him a reputation as
one of the most innovative graphic artists of
the Weimar Republic. His photomontages and
book covers based on collages which had their
origins in Berlin’s Dada scene were directed
against Fascism and made him internationally
famous. Their explosive power has lost none
of its impact.

first comprehensive museum exhibition with a
focus on portraits and representations of

Angelica Kauffman (1741–1807) is regarded as
the first woman artist of European standing. Well
educated and very well connected, she enjoyed
an international reputation. She pursued a
brilliant career and was one of the outstanding
artist personalities of the Classical Age in London
and Rome. She was admired by Goethe and
Herder and her clients included queens and
emperors from across the continent.
A new look at the most famous woman artist 19
of the 18th century
“Mad about Angelica” describes the Kauffman myth, which arose even
during her lifetime. Her remarkable life and work are presented in some
100 of her best paintings and drawings, including many new discoveries.

Kurt Schwitters (1887–1948) is one of the
most influential protagonists of the avant-garde,
both as an artist and an author. With his utopia
of the total Merz vision of the world he aimed at
the unification of art and non-art. The art of
assemblage and material art reached its first
high point in his work; his Merzbau is regarded
as a forerunner of present-day installations.
Introduction and overview of Merz art 37
with rare documents from the artist’s estate
After the end of the First World War Schwitters declared the syllable
Merz to be a word mark for his one-man movement and thereby propa
gated his wide-ranging creative work in almost all areas of art, literature
and typography. The expression stands for a concept of the greatest
possible unreservedness and artistic freedom in the choice of forms of
expression. In Schwitters’s compositions, apparently worthless things
are resurrected and open up rich fields of association in new interactions.
The publication draws on the wealth of material to be found in the artist’s
estate, which is the subject of recent research. KURT SCHWITTERS

Still and always my muse:
New York through the eyes of Abe Frajndlich
Abe Frajndlich (*1946, Frankfurt am Main) is known internationally for
his portraits of famous people such as Jack Lemmon and Stephen
Hawking. Since moving to New York in 1984 the city itself has been one
of his principal subjects. He is fascinated by its radiance and watches
spellbound how it changes and reinvents itself on a daily basis. The
result is a multi-faceted picture: the black-and-white photographs are
sometimes perceptive, sometimes thoughtful, and sometimes witty or
quirky – but they are always a declaration of love to New York.
