Caravaggio's complete works in high-quality reproductions: Dramatic shifts from foreboding dark to probing light; a realism that exposes all the flaws and folds of human flesh; a surgical explication of almost unbearably tense emotion; and the poised depiction of crucial moments at the very lip of their unfolding: these were among the innovations of Michelangelo Merisi, known as Caravaggio. During…

“While I may be the first woman in this office, I will not be the last.“ (Kamala Harris) The legal right of women to vote was established in the United States only 100 years ago; many other countries introduced women's suffrage even later. For a long time, women weren’t involved in decision making, in creative processes or in politics – and an inequality still exists…. Now Kamala Harris…
Never before have we come so close to the master. Dürer was provocative, curious, a brilliant creator and a visionary genius. He painted himself with equal self-assurance, wether in the pose of Christ or completely naked, was a master of self-marketing, and created the first logo in history with his initials. Dürer – Meisterwerke im Detail looks at all areas of the artist's wide-ranging production…

Jules Chéret lead the way for this art form and Henri Toulouse-Lautrec perfected it: At the end of the 19th century the poster was not merely a means of advertisement or political campaigns. Sketched by artists, posters became a favourable artwork to collect, poster-societies were installed and poster-exhibitions presented the diversity of designs. The Affichomanie reached its climax. After the turn…
Time and again, she appears in various states of undress: Venus, the goddess – whether she was painted by Botticelli and Cabanel or Cranach, Titian and Velázquez. And Eve, the seductress - she's also naked. Goya's Maja, Manet's Olympia, Klimt's Judith - they refer to Venus and Eve, the prototypes of the nude. Albrecht Dürer depicted himself naked, Mapplethorpe's self-portrait is more explicit.…
