16. November 2006
Council of the City of Philadelphia
City Council Resolution

JOURNAL OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF PHILADELPHIA.

Renowned Austrian-born artist, Gottfried Helnwein has committed himself and his art to reminding the world of the Holocaust. His exhibit, Ninth November Night, consists of 17 children's portraits displayed in commemoration of Kristallnacht. Ninth November Night was originally displayed in 1988 in Cologne, Germany. Days into the exhibit, the paintings were vandalized by neo-Nazis.
This exhibit will have its American premiere in Philadelphia in Spring, 2007; now, therefore be it RESOLVED, by the Council of the City of Philadelphia that the 68th anniversary of Kristallnacht be commemorated, and that Gottfried Helnwein be honored for his artistic contributions. ... +

Gottfried Helnwein : Epiphany I (Adoration of the Magi)

Exhibition catalogue
The Logan Collection
Gottfried Helnwein's Epiphany (Adoration of the Magi) is a strange takeoff on a traditional New Testament theme in art. The work depicts a Madonnalike mother displaying her baby to attentive Nazi officers, Painted in hyperrealist grisaille with chiaroscuro effects, the work resembles an old documentary photograph made huge. The eerie, sinister overtones are unmistakable. Who is this mother? What do these officers want with her and her child? What kind of official paper might the officer on the left hold in his hand and what might be its result? Helnwein, characteristically, presents us with an ambiguous, haunting image and leaves us to wonder about its meaning...
With its huge size, hyperrealist style, and disturbing content, this unsettling work bestows a psychological anxiety accompanied by a strong magnetic pull. Confronting it, we tend to stare-entranced by both its beauty and its seductive, malevolent overtones... ... +

Gottfried Helnwein : Lentos Museum of Modern Art, Linz
05. June 2006
Lentos Museum of Modern Art Linz
March 10 - June 5 2006
Stella Rollig

Director

Museale Werkschau des üsterreichischen Künstlers.
The Lentos Museum of Modern Art in Linz organizes the first museum show of Gottfried Helnwein in Austria since he left the land of his birth in the mid-1980s. Helnwein was born in Vienna in 1948. After spending years in Germany, Helnwein now lives in Los Angeles and Ireland.
An extensive body of work is presented in the large exhibition hall of the museum. In Austria Helnwein is still remembered as a "provocateur" and "shock artist", as which he established himself a quarter of a century ago. In light of the substantial further development of his work in conjunction with new image treatments and the use of new media (digital photography, video), it is time for a comprehensive view of this oeuvre today. This is interesting, not least of all, in the context of a boom in new figurative painting and in light of the largely predominant references to media images and popular culture in more recent painting. An updated view of Helnwein's subject matter and his mode of production reveals an artist devoted primarily to moral, emancipatory motifs, whose place within so-called "political" art is only now recognizable to its full extent. ... +

Leiter des Referats für Ausstellungen der der Staatlichen Museen zu Berlin

MÉLANCOLIE, GÉNIE ET FOLIE EN OCCIDENT
Die Zurschaustellung des eigenen Körpers als Verwesungsmasse beginnt mit den Selbstporträts von George Grosz als Suizidgestalt im Kaffeehaus und reicht über die wie durch den Fleischwolf gedrehten Konterfeis eines Francis Bacon bis hin zur Leichenfledderei am eigenen Leib bei Günter Brus, Kurt Kren oder Frank Tovey, dem jüngst verstorbenen Enfant terrible der experimentellen New-Wave-Szene der 1980er Jahre. Die Befreiung des melancholischen Bewusstseins durch den Tod bietet keine philosophische Perspektive mehr. Es ist ihm ohnedies schon anheim gefallen. Stattdessen wird der Suizid in einer Performance masochistischer Selbstverstümmelung kultisch sublimiert.
In einer fotografischen Inszenierung Gottfried Helnweins erhebt sich der Künstler, fäulnisschwarz und monumental wie das Mahnmal einer letzen Einsicht: “So ist Verzweiflung, diese Krankheit im Selbst, die Krankheit zum Tode. Der verzweifelte ist todkrank. Der Tod ist nicht das letzte der Krankheit, aber der Tod ist in einem fort das Letzte. Von dieser Krankheit erlöst zu werden durch den Tod ist eine Unmöglichkeit, denn die Krankheit und deren Qual und der Tod ist gerade, nicht sterben zu können.”
So ist die Geschichte der Moderne nicht zuletzt auch eine Erfolgsgeschichte der Melancholie und des Eindringens ihres schwarzen Spuks in die letzten Paradiese des Seins- und Weltvertrauens. ... +

האמן הפלסטי גוטפריד הלנוויין מגיע לאופרה הישראלית בחודש מרס כמעצב התפאורה והתלבושות של הפקת רוזנקווליר. הלנוויין
טיפוס יוצא דופן בפני עצמו, מגדיר את האמן בצורה פרדוקסלית כאאוטסיידר חברתי, שמחויב לקשר עם הציבור והחברה בה הוא
חי. הוא סולד מהאמנים הציניים העכשוויים שיוצרים עבור עצמם ועובר בועת האמנים ולא עבור הציבור הרחב. "מטרת האמנות היא אך ורק לתקשר. אני חושב שהאמנות יכולה לשנות את העולם. המבחן האמיתי הוא ההיסטוריה- מה שנשאר מחברות ותרבויות שלמות היא האמנות". במילה אמנות אין הוא מתייחס רק לאמנות הפלסטית אלא כולל את כל צורות האמנות, כולל האמנות הפלסטית, אמנויות הבמה, המוסיקה והארכיטקטורה. "אם נוציא את האמנות מהחברה ישארו רק המלחמות. גם הדת, כל הדתות הגדולות, באות לידי ביטוי בצורה אסתטית, גם דת מינימליסטית כמו היהדות באה לידי ביטוי במוסיקה שלה, בעיצוב הבגדים
המסוים שלה, בארכיטקטורה." ... +
