Description:
Art around 1800
Curating as scientific practice. The Hamburger Kunsthalle in the 1970s
An exhibition series makes history
The exhibition series Art around 1800 shaped debates about the practice of curating and the social relevance of art that continue to have an impact today, and revised narratives of European art history. Realised in nine parts between 1974-81 at the Hamburger Kunsthalle under the direction of the then director Werner Hofmann, the cycle focused in a groundbreaking way on the profound upheavals at the beginning of the 19th century.
Art around 1800 was a research project, an exhibition experiment, a celebration of the visual arts and a political statement. In the course of the establishment of a controversial democracy in the 1970s, the series emphasised the impact of works of art in the "Age of Revolutions". The focus was on artists who broke with the conventions of their time: Ossian, Caspar David Friedrich, Johann Heinrich Füssli, William Blake, Johan Tobias Sergel, William Turner, Philipp Otto Runge, John Flaxman and Francisco Goya.
This volume documents all the exhibitions of art around 1800 in great detail - a process in nine stages that is missing from current studies on the history of art exhibitions. Numerous authors from the fields of art and cultural history take a critical look at the period after 1968 and offer new perspectives on this decade of experimentation.
PETRA LANGE-BERNDT is Professor of Modern and Contemporary Art at the Department of Art History at the University of Hamburg.
DIETMAR RÜBEL is Professor of History and Theory of Art at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich. Together they have curated numerous exhibitions and published books.
