This. Is. Happening! Aby Warburg: Bilderatlas Mnemosyne from @hatjecantzverlag releases soon!!! ・・・#repost In the 1920s, Aby Warburg worked on his Bilderatlas Mnemosyne, a volume of plates that has taken on mythical status in the study of modern art and visual studies. With this project, Warburg created a visual reference system that was far ahead of its time. With @the_warburg_institute Roberto Ohrt and Axel Heil have now undertaken the task of finding all of individual pictures from the atlas and displaying these reproductions of artworks from the Middle East, European antiquity, and the Renaissance in the same way that Warburg himself showed them, on panels hung with black fabric. Thus, the folio volume and the exhibition at @hkw_berlin in fall 2020 will show his complete unfinished magnum opus for the first time since Warburg’s death. ⠀ Read more about the large-format illustrated book in artbook.com⠀ ⠀ #hatjecantz #artbook #publishing #bookoftheday #abywarburg #bilderatlas #mnemosyne #arthistory #culturalstudies #mediastudies #visualstudies #robertoohrt #axelheil #hausderkulturenderwelt #warburginstitut #dap #artbookdap #stayhomereadabook #staffpicks https://www.instagram.com/p/B-fGWkMJTpJ/?igshid=1xcsk4oxkreqd

Coming soon from @hatjecantzverlag !! #Repost ・・・ Aby Warburg (1866–1929) is considered one of the fathers of modern visual studies, whose pictorial legacy was long hidden from view: In the late years of his life, the Hamburg art and cultural historian worked on his Bilderatlas Mnemosyne, with which he created a visual reference system that was ahead of its time. Warburg dealt intensively with the interaction of myths, images, and rites from different cultural contexts and set new standards with his method: he rearranged canonical alongside unknown images and considered them across epochs. ⠀ ⠀ The large-format illustrated book now being published and the future exhibition at Haus der Kulturen der Welt (postponed until autumn 2020) restores the last documented version of the 1929 atlas almost completely with the original illustrations. To this end, the curators Roberto Ohrt and Axel Heil, in cooperation with the Warburg Institute in London, have tracked down the majority of the 971 illustrations in the Institute’s Photographic Collection, which comprises 400,000 objects, and are showing his complete unfinished magnum opus for the first time since Warburg's death. @hkw_berlin @the_warburg_institute ⠀ ⠀ Read more about the book on artbook.com⠀ #hatjecantz #artbook #publishing #bookoftheday #abywarburg #bilderatlas #mnemosyne #arthistory #culturalstudies #mediastudies #visualstudies #robertoohrt #axelheil #hausderkulturenderwelt #warburginstitut #dap #artbookdap #stayhomereadabook #staffpicks https://www.instagram.com/p/B-cvCqfpFa0/?igshid=19585get5zbfp
