Die Künstler-Künstlerin Jutta Koether ist eine der zentralen Figuren für die gegenwärtige Malerei, und zugleich mehr als eine Malerin. Sie ist Performancekünstlerin, Musikerin, Schriftstellerin und Kritikerin. Ihre Rolle als Künstlerin wurde lange Zeit als feministische Antwort auf die Kölner Szene der späten achtziger Jahre reduziert. Mit ihren durchscheinenden Farbfeldern, dem gestischen Pinselstrich, Zeichnungen weiblicher Körper sowie der Aneignung von Poesie und Kunstgeschichte scheint sie häufig die gegenüberliegende Position zu Künstlern wie Martin Kippenberger, Sigmar Polke und Albert Oehlen einzunehmen. Texte von Diedrich Diederichsen, einem der wichtigsten deutschen Poptheoretiker und Musikkritiker, von Isabelle Graw, Martin Prinzhorn und anderen erläutern die unterschiedlichen Werkbereiche. – Erster umfassender Katalog zu diesem wichtigen Werk zeitgenössischer Kunst

A study of how the rhetoric of painting remains omnipresent in the field of art. Painting seems to have lost its dominant position in the field of the arts. However, looking more closely at exhibited photographs, assemblages, installations, or performances, it is evident how the rhetorics of painting still remain omnipresent. Following the tradition of classical theories of painting based on exchanges with artists, Isabelle Graw's The Love of Painting considers the art form not as something fixed, but as a visual and discursive material formation with the potential to fascinate owing to its ability to produce the fantasy of liveliness. Thus, painting is not restricted to the limits of its own frame, but possesses a specific potential that is located in its material and physical signs. Its value is grounded in its capacity to both reveal and mystify its conditions of production. Alongside in-depth analyses of the work of artists like Édouard Manet, Jutta Koether, Martin Kippenberger, Jana Euler, and Marcel Broodthaers, the book includes conversations with artists in which Graw's insights are further discussed and put to the test.

According to Graw, the art economy has been transformed from a retail business into an industry that produces visuality and meaning. In this book she questions the assumption of a dichotomy between art and the market, as well as the notion that market value is equal to artistic value

Viele Theoretikerinnen und Theoretiker haben sich von einer Praxis der Kritik verabschiedet und sich für alternative Einstellungen des Urteils ausgesprochen, die als Praktiken der Wertschätzung bezeichnet werden können. Der Sammelband untersucht, wie eine Opposition dieser beiden Denkweisen verstanden wird, und fragt danach, ob und wie sie sich überwinden lässt. Dabei spielen die Praktiken der Urteilens im Feld der Kunst eine paradigmatische Rolle. Mit Beiträgen u. a. von Luc Boltanski, Eva Geulen, Rahel Jaeggi und Bruno Latour

"In response to recent developments in pictorial practice and critical discourse, Painting beyond Itself: The Medium in the Post-medium Condition seeks new ways to approach and historicize the question of the medium. Reaching back to the earliest theoretical and institutional definitions of painting, this book--based on a conference at Harvard University in 2013--focuses on the changing role of materiality in establishing painting as the privileged practice, discourse, and institution of modernity. Myriad conceptions of the medium and its specificity are explored by an international group of scholars, critics, and artists. Painting beyond Itself is a forum for rich historical, theoretical, and practice-grounded conversation"--Publisher's description
