How’s My Painting? Malerei aus der Sammlung Falckenberg

Herausgeber: Goesta Diercks und Dirk Luckow

Softcover, 29 x 21,5 cm, deutsch/englisch, 192 S., 126 ganzseitige Abbildungen in Farbe, mit Textbeiträgen von Isabelle Graw, Dirk Luckow und Kenny Schachter.

Mit How’s My Painting? erscheint der zweite Band einer fortlaufenden Publikationsreihe, die sich den verschiedenen Medien innerhalb der Sammlung Falckenberg widmet. Nach dem ersten Band Counter Culture (2020), der Installationen und Objekte in den Fokus rückte, steht nun die Malerei als zentrales Medium künstlerischer Auseinandersetzung im Mittelpunkt. Die Reihe dokumentiert nicht nur die außergewöhnliche Bandbreite der Sammlung, sondern auch deren medienübergreifende konzeptuelle Tiefe.
 
Der neue Band begleitet die gleichnamige Ausstellung in den Phoenix-Hallen in Hamburg-Harburg und versammelt rund 170 Werke aus sechs Jahrzehnten – ein vielschichtiger Querschnitt durch die malerischen Bestände der Sammlung Harald Falckenbergs, die zu den umfangreichsten und bedeutendsten in Deutschland zählt.
 
Der Titel How’s My Painting? geht auf ein Werk der New Yorker Künstlerin Nicole Eisenman zurück, das Harald Falckenberg bereits 2006 erwarb – zu einer Zeit, als Eisenman noch weitgehend unbekannt war. Heute zählt sie zu den wichtigsten Künstler*innen ihrer Generation. Dieser frühe Ankauf steht beispielhaft für Falckenbergs Gespür für das künstlerische Relevante und seine Leidenschaft für das Zeitgenössische in der Kunst.
 
Die Ausstellung entfaltet eine Genealogie der Sammlung im Medium der Malerei über drei Künstler*innengenerationen hinweg. Zugleich dokumentiert sie Harald Falckenbergs kontinuierliche Auseinandersetzung mit gesellschaftspolitischen Diskursen und kunsttheoretischen Fragestellungen. Thematische Schwerpunkte wie Landschaft, Körperpolitik, interkulturelle Perspektiven sowie – als bewusst gesetzter Kontrapunkt zur überwiegend figurativen Malerei – minimalistische Positionen verdeutlichen anhand von über rund 70 künstlerischen Positionen die Vielschichtigkeit der Sammlung.

Die begleitende Publikation zeigt Malerei an der Schnittstelle von Bild und Sprache, Kunst und Gesellschaft – oft geprägt von hochironischen, parodistisch-rebellischen Inhalten. Inspiriert von der Ästhetik der Underground-Comic-Kultur spannt sich der Bogen von frühen Arbeiten der 1960er Jahre – etwa von Philip Guston oder Öyvind Fahlström – bis hin zu Schlüsselpositionen der Gegenwartskunst wie Martin Kippenberger, Mike Kelley oder Monica Bonvicini.

Mit einem Interview mit Isabelle Graw sowie Texten von Dirk Luckow und Kenny Schachter entsteht ein facettenreiches, stellenweise persönliches Porträt der Sammlung Falckenberg. Der Band eröffnet neue Einblicke in deren Entwicklung und beleuchtet dabei sowohl die Rolle der Malerei als auch Falckenbergs Haltung zur zeitgenössischen Kunst. Ein Plädoyer für eine Kunst jenseits ästhetischer Dogmen geprägt von Subversion, Humor, Selbstbefragung und einem kritischen Blick auf künstlerische Produktion sowie deren institutionelle und gesellschaftliche Verankerung – sammlerische Eitelkeiten ausdrücklich eingeschlossen.

How's My Painting? is the second volume in an ongoing series of publications dedicated to the various media within the Falckenberg Collection. Following the first volume Counter Culture (2020), which focused on installations and objects, the second volume pursues painting as a central medium of artistic exploration. The series documents not only the extraordinary range of the collection, but also its cross-media conceptual depth.
 
The new volume accompanies the exhibition of the same name in the Phoenix-Hallen in Hamburg-Harburg and brings together around 170 works from six decades - a multi-layered cross-section of the painterly holdings of Harald Falckenberg's collection, which is one of the most extensive and relevant in Germany.
 
The title How's My Painting? is based on a work by the New York artist Nicole Eisenman, which Harald Falckenberg acquired back in 2006 – at a time when Eisenman was still largely unknown. This early purchase exemplifies Falckenberg's sense of artistic relevance and his passion for contemporary art.
 
The exhibition unfolds a genealogy of the collection in the medium of painting across three generations of artists. At the same time, it documents Harald Falckenberg's continuous engagement with socio-political discourses and art-theoretical questions.
 
Thematic focuses such as landscape, body politics, intercultural perspectives and – as a deliberate counterpoint to the predominantly figurative painting – minimalist positions illustrate the complexity of the collection with more than 70 artistic positions.
The accompanying publication shows painting at the interface of image and language, art and society - often characterized by highly ironic, parodically rebellious content. Inspired by the aesthetics of underground comic culture, the collection ranges from early works from the 1960s – for example by Philip Guston or Öyvind Fahlström – to key positions in contemporary art such as Martin Kippenberger, Mike Kelley or Monica Bonvicini.
With an interview with Isabelle Graw and texts by Dirk Luckow and Kenny Schachter, a multifaceted, sometimes personal portrait of the Falckenberg Collection emerges. The volume provides new insights into its development and sheds light on both the role of painting and Falckenberg's attitude towards contemporary art. A plea for an art beyond aesthetic dogmas characterized by subversion, humor, self-questioning and a critical view of artistic production as well as its institutional and social anchoring - collector's vanities expressly included.

Works amazing! My eczema is clearing up on my face!
Size: 13.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I've been struggling with eczema all of my life and I'm insanely sensitive to all sorts of creams. I've tried just about everything you could find. Colloidal oatmeal ones...to hypo allergenic creams in high end stores. I react to goat's milk and even ones with no fragrance. Well, for the first time ever, I found a cream that seems to be doing the trick. I'm on meds to help with the eczema, but the issue was the eye area, upper forehead [between eyebrows], and right under the nose and around the lips. I'd always get this redness and it didn't matter what creams I used. I recently switched to a Clinique soap [more like a moisturizer that comes out of a bottle] for my face, but it still wasn't getting better. It helped, but the redness wasn't going away! I read online about this cream. I don't use a ton. I put literally a drop under each eye and gently tap it into the area. I also just dab a tiny amount on any other red spot. I'm primarily using this for areas where the redness won't go away. Well, three days after starting this my skin is FINALLY healing around my eyes and in the other zones. My mom even noticed! I can tell you, this is a THICK cream. It's too heavy to slather all over your face. Use it to target areas and use a lighter moisturizer [Aveeno has a sensitive face cream that's new and works]. This cream will help the skin heal [all those annoying patches and redness]. It's worth the money. I suspect it's going to take me ages to finish this bottle off. But, it just is so nice to see my face and not have some sort of weird raccoon look. FYI - I do have some patches on my legs which I glob it on and it's helping that heal too. If you need a good hydrating cream that helps protect the skin and helps it get over that bump where it's irritated, this may work for you. Oh, it has absolutely no scent - none. That was a nice surprise. It's designed for sensitive skin. Initially, I was worried about the cost, but now that my eczema is healing up, it's worth every penny. This worked better than all those steroids and hydrocortisone my docs kept giving me. I was so stressed over the wrinkles under my eyes and for once, it's looking nice. :)

Amazing!! Redness and itchiness gone after 1 day!
Size: 6.76 Ounce (Pack of 1), Size: 6.76 Ounce (Pack of 1)
So, I've had really bad rashes around my eyes and cheeks for a few years. The doctors can't tell me what it is but just used to prescribe me steroid cream which thinned my skin and gave me eye wrinkles. I read about this in a post on Pinterest and ordered it immediately as I had a recurring rash on my face for 3 weeks that kept coming back. Yes it's $32 but I was DESPERATE. Everything else I tried burned my face, even products with the eczema association seal! I was so excited when this came in the mail. I was tiding myself over with Clinique's Dramatically Different Moisturizing Cream and yes, it hydrated my dry face but it stung on contact a bit, and also made my skin tight and began to peel, not painfully but still gross. So I finally got a chance to put this xeracalm product on my face last night. I put about a quarter size amount at first, then two extra pea sized amounts under my eyes. Unfortunately through the night my face soaked it all up (my skin is EXTREMELY DRY and it's winter now) but as soon as I woke up and look in the mirror my redness was 90% gone. My face was a little tight but not uncomfortably, and definitely no peeling. It also does not burn on contact which is so great for me. It's called a balm but it's really more like a heavy thick cream. The top is interesting as you just squeeze it and it pops out and dispenses product to not contaminate it. If you have a problem with the dispenser you have to be an idiot, I just have to be honest lol. It's not rocket science. It serves a very important purpose. Also, I was surprised at the size. $32 seemed pricey but for the amount of product I got it is totally appropriate. I only see myself using this for when my skin gets REALLY DRY and not for regular use though. And a little goes a long way. I'm hoping to see my face go back to normal in a few days. I will definitely update!

This is SO helpful for Dyshidrotic Dermantitis
Size: 6.76 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I have dyshidrotic dermatitis and this helps me with the dryness and itchy feet. It is pretty greasy but I have to keep socks on so I don't care. It works the best if you use it twice a day but still works well once a day.

A rich moisturizer that doesn’t feel heavy!
Size: 13.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I bought this because the skin on my face is very reactive and has also been very dry and I wanted to try something that was a little more rich than the moisturizer I was using. I liked that this is for face and body so it comes in a bigger size than typical face moisturizers come in. I have been using it for about a week and have noticed a reduction in flakiness and my sensitive skin does not get irritated by it. It absorbs really well and doesn’t feel heavy or make my skin feel sticky. I definitely feel it is worth the price since you get so much in the bottle and it will last a very long time!

The best eczema cream I’ve used !!!
Size: 6.76 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I will give 10 stars if it were available!! Used most of the eczema creams out there, including prescribed ointments, but given the fact you can’t avoid using water on your hands throughout the day, the eczema was only getting worse for the past couple of months! I am glad I didn’t give up and found this cream!!! The second I put this cream on my hands, it immediately moisturized the itching and flaking skin without drying or being greasy unlike other creams I’ve used before. It’s very calming, soothing, and deeply moisturizing! So I had to write this review for those who are suffering the similar symptoms. This may help you as much as it is helping me as I speak!
