{"product_id":"66598-boris-lurie-100th-anniversary","title":"Boris Lurie. 100th Anniversary","description":"On the occasion of Boris Lurie's 100th birthday, the catalog \"Life with the Dead\" presents more than fifty works from 1950 to 1970 that illustrate his active commitment to social justice and the memory of the Holocaust. The Jewish artist experienced the horror of the Holocaust in many ways, but his artworks are not only an expression of suffering, but also symbols of hope for the integration of the few who survived. Friends and companions describe the artist's development from his beginnings in the 1950s, through the NO!art movement, to his renaissance as one of the most important representatives of Holocaust art. Tom Wolfe published his text for an exhibition at Gertrude Stein's gallery in New York in 1964. René Block exhibited Lurie in Berlin. Achille Bonito Oliva became acquainted with Boris Lurie's art in 1962 at the \"Doom Show Boris Lurie and Sam Goodman\" exhibition at the Galeria Arturo Schwarz in Milan. Rafael Vostell and Jürgen Kaumkötter provide the thematic framework for the book, which is supplemented by greetings from Gertrude Stein, Boris Lurie's lifelong friend, and Jürgen Wilhelm of the Landschaftsverband Rheinland.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBORIS LURIE (1924–2008), born in Leningrad and raised in Riga, lost his mother, grandmother, sister, and childhood sweetheart in the Rumbula Forest (Riga) on December 8, 1941, during a mass shooting by the National Socialists. After surviving several labor and concentration camps, he emigrated to New York in 1946 and became one of the co-founders of NO!art, a provocative art movement of the 1960s. Full of subversion, irony, and often direct references to the Holocaust, his paintings and sculptures are a critical commentary on Pop Art, consumer culture, and the society of his time.","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49755250131208,"sku":"9783775756877","price":44.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8948\/8049\/files\/odoo_9783775756877_026dd96b-5c82-45ff-a3c8-590112cc86e5.jpg?v=1744288593","url":"https:\/\/hatjecantz.de\/en\/products\/66598-boris-lurie-100th-anniversary","provider":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
