IntroductionIn the face of new media, Marc Brandenburg, born in 1965 in Berlin, decided with pencil and paper to pave the way for drawing. In an almost old-fashioned way, his works force us to take a closer look, which puts him in good company with Dürer, Menzel, and Richter. Brandenburg's works are in collections such as MoMA (New York), Deutsche Bank, or the Kupferstich Kabinett (Berlin). In 2005 he received the renowned Karl Ströher Prize.
His research tool is the camera, and with it Brandenburg finds his motifs in his immediate urban surroundings, capturing them with the camera. His work's detail and magnificence, on the other hand, are the antithesis of his snapshots. Self-portraits, protests, thickets, or hustle and bustle – his drawings looks like the afterimages burnt into the retina after being blinded by blazing brightness. In their negative reversal, white becomes gray like ash, shadows become light.
For these plates, Brandenburg created two self-portraits as reflected in water and launches the series of art editions LUMAS is developing with Rosenthal Porcelain.
In the 1950s Rosenthal porcelain manufacturer was the first in Europe to develop a creative new beginning. Based on the realization that "originals of the times" would maintain their worth, exciting projects were undertaken with prominent artists such as Günter Ferdinand Ris, Victor Vasarely, Henry Moore, and Lucio Fontana to create unique art editions. Salvadore Dali, HAP Grieshaber, and other well-known artists painted, for example, the surfaces of main pieces in the famous "Suomi" series service after their own designs, overruling the artistic division of art and function. Above all, the collaboration with various artists made these Rosenthal pieces appealing to art collectors.
LUMAS has now again coupled with this tradition to develop this edition with Marc Brandenburg and Rosenthal. Brandenburg's design was digitized and adapted by an elaborate reproduction process so that it can later be converted to the three-dimensional porcelain pieces. Through such a process is it able completely to retain the artist's hand and the character of the original. The plate originates from Rosenthal's "TAC 1" collection. Bauhaus founder Walter Gropius designed "TAC 1" in the late 1960s in collaboration with The Architects' Collaborative (TAC), a group of young, avant-garde architects.Bio
