Authentizität und Material. Konstellationen in der Kunst seit 1900

Outlines, Volume 11

Contributions to this issue centre on concepts of authenticity and their relevance to art since 1900, notably the referential concepts underlying sculpture around 1900, Piero Manzoni and contemporary art techniques. Essays on the Hamburg facsimile controversy in the late 1920s, Dieter Roth and computer-based art address the relationship between originals and reproductions. Authenticity in the sense of a specific relationship between a thing and its authorship is explored by articles on connoisseurial expertise, haptic perception of the artefact and the question of authenticity in media studies discourse.
