Re view Onnasch Collection

The collection of Reinhard Onnasch demonstrates an astounding art and culture transfer between America and Europe. Published in conjunction with the exhibitions at Hauser & Wirth in London in the fall of 2013 and in New York in early 2014, Re-View: Onnasch Collection is the first in-depth study of Reinhard Onnasch&;s activities as a gallerist, art dealer, catalog publisher, and art collector. Its chronology presents a wealth of previously unpublished documents and photographs, and includes, for the first time in English translations, several interviews with Onnasch. From these conversations one gains a sense of the passion with which he built his remarkable collection. Works that could be considered exemplary of Pop art or Minimalism are featured alongside important works of color-field painting, Fluxus, assemblage, and Abstract Expressionism, which the publication illustrates with new photographs in honor of the occasion. The works reproduced in the catalog represent a veritable vanguard of the twentieth century&;s most important art movements.
