The future of tradition, the tradition of future : 100 years after the exhibition Masterpieces of Muhammadan art in Munich : [exhibition, Haus der Kunst, Munich, September 17, 2010 - January 9, 2011] = 100 Jahre nach der Ausstellung Meisterwerke muhammeda

This breathtaking presentation of historic and contemporary Islamic art offers a lively comparison between past and present. A century ago, the exhibition 'Masterpieces of Muhammadan Art' at the Haus der Kunst in Munich, Germany, introduced the Western world to the artistic splendors of the East. Artists such as Wassily Kandinsky and Franz Marc, along with thousands of other visitors, were inspired by the works' colorful abstractions and technical brilliance. One hundred years later, thirty of the pieces from the original exhibition have been reintroduced alongside contemporary and previously unexhibited examples of Islamic art, design, photography and fashion. The juxtaposition highlights issues , such as how we define Islamic art today, the role of the avant-garde in past and contemporary art, and how the 1910 exhibition was a turning point for the reception and exploration of Islamic art in the West. These and other perspectives are explored in lively essays by scholars and curators. Beautiful color reproductions allow readers to appreciate the enduring traditions as well as the remarkable developments in Islamic art. CHRIS DERCON has curated numerous exhibitions in Paris and Rotterdam. He is Director of the Haus der Kunst in Munich. LEA N KREMPEL is curator at Haus der Kunst. AVINOAM SHALEM is Professor for the History of Islamic Art at the Ludwig- Maximilians University in Munich. doc00504720190424110115 79 doc00504820190424110127 80 doc00504920190424110144 81 doc00505020190424110157 82 doc00505120190424110218 83 doc00505220190424110230 84 doc00505320190424110249 85 doc00505420190424110303 86 doc00505520190424110323 87 doc00505620190424110334 88 doc00505720190424110351 89 doc00505820190424110404 90 doc00505920190424110427 91 doc00506020190424110440 92 doc00506120190424110500 93 doc00506220190424110513 94 doc00506320190424110536 95 doc00506420190424110549 96 doc00506520190424110609 97 Mit der Ornamentik der Arkaden wurde sich bisher weniger aus-:. einandergesetzt, während Pope 1935 bei spätsasanidisch bis frühis-·Ia misch blieb, sah Sauvager 1941 hiereindeutig islamische Ornamen·:tik vom Anfang des 10.
