Kunst und Material. Konzepte, Prozesse, Arbeitsteilungen
Media diversity, an expanded notion of the artwork and a changed understanding of creativity have shaped art since the modern era. This creates new challenges for the reception and preservation of a work as well as for the concept of authorship and the idea of authenticity. The separation of design and implementation in contemporary art also establishes a new form of art production based on the division of labour with manifold implications. The contributions in this volume show that such developments require innovative, interdisciplinary approaches at the interface of the history of technology, conservation science and art history.
Authentizität und Material. Konstellationen in der Kunst seit 1900
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.
