Hall Art Foundation

The Hall Art Foundation collaborates with public institutions around the world to facilitate loans from its own collection and that of the Halls.

The Hall Art Foundation was founded in 2007 and makes available postwar and contemporary art works from its own collection and that of Andrew and Christine Hall for the enjoyment and education of the public. Together the two collections comprise some 5,000 works by several hundred artists, including Richard Artschwager, Georg Baselitz, Joseph Beuys, Eric Fischl, Leon Golub, Jorg Immendorff, Anselm

Kiefer, Baryy Le Va, Malcolm Morley, A.R. Penck, Ed Ruscha, Andy Warhol and Franz West. In addition to a dedicated gallery space at MASS MoCA, the Hall Art Foundation operates a contemporary art space in Reading, Vermont.

“Georg Baselitz: Time for New Heroes” is now on view at Kunstmuseum Schloss Derneburg. Conceived as a revolving presentation of prints by the acclaimed German artist, this initial exhibition includes approximately seventy woodcuts and etchings created between 1964 and 2008 supplemented by examples in painting and drawing.

In the series Remix ‘65/66 (2008), Baselitz references his early prints in title and motif, with paper painted in synthetic tones that provides an energized ground for a negative image.

Aaron Curry describes his work as collage-based and significantly influenced by elements in popular culture, including his background in music, science fiction and comic books. As a teenager, Curry was attracted to the design of guitars, record albums, action figures and skateboards displaying colors and forms inspired by 20th century sculpture and modernism. References to the sculptures of Alexander Calder abound in his work, including curvy biomorphic shapes and vibrant palettes.

In Danny Skullface Sky Boat (Reclining), the clean, straight lines of the sculpture’s lower half give way to more organic shapes, in the abstracted skull form, dramatic horns and jaw-like protrusions, that evoke visions of a prehistoric rhinoceros, bison or dinosaur. Curry manipulates the various planes to achieve a middle ground between two dimensions and three dimensions as well as an illusion of depth, while simultaneously implying that the sculpture could methodically fold up into a neat stack of metal sheets.

Danny Skullface Sky Boat (Reclining) is a new addition to our sculpture park in Vermont, one of approximately two dozen outdoor sculptures installed throughout our grounds.

In her sculpture, drawing, painting, photography, video and installations, and often drawn from her own life experiences, Tracey Emin documents the intimate performances of the female body as well as the complex emotional states of the mind. Emin’s I lay here for you is a 3-ton bronze sculpture cast from a figure modeled in clay. The figure’s undulating, organic form, though massive in size, maintains traces of the artist’s markings. The sculpture’s pose conveys at once and with total candor a visceral sense of intimacy, vulnerability, longing, rawness and heightened sexuality.

This work is one of approximately 40 sculptures installed throughout the grounds at Kunstmuseum Schloss Derneburg.

Mohammed Sami was born in Baghdad, Iraq, in 1984, where he witnessed first-hand the Iran-Iraq conflict, the Gulf War and US invasion. After completing studies in drawing and painting at the Institute of Fine Arts, Baghdad in 2005, Sami immigrated to Sweden. Sami went on to graduate from the Belfast School of Art in 2015 and earned an MFA at Goldsmiths College, London, in 2018. Sami currently lives and works in London.

In his paintings, Sami renders haunting and semi-abstract autobiographical scenes that unfold belated memories, obliquely exploring the dynamics of war, memory and loss. Ashfall I (2022) depicts a landscape of traditional Iraqi architecture made of stone or concrete under a darkened sky. The extreme side lighting and specks in the air suggest the moment after an explosion or during a fire, as light ash diffuses from a distance. Devoid of figures or any sense of movement typical of news images coming from the Gulf War, Sami’s uncanny landscape reclaims the power of representation through his recollections and underscores the complicated process of memory through conflict.

This work is including in our group show, “A Farewell to the Western World”, currently on view at the Hall Art Foundation in Reading, Vermont.

As a young child in Iraq, the painter Mohammed Sami was recruited based on exceptional artistic talent to produce propagandistic images of Saddam Hussein and the Ba’athist regime. Sami had lived in Baghdad through the Iran-Iraq conflict, the Gulf War and US invasion before immigrating as a refugee to Sweden at the age of 23. Sami has since produced haunting images surrounding his childhood that avoid direct depictions of violence or even the presence of figures, and instead rely on quieter aspects around the chaos.

In Ashfall I (2022), Sami drafts a landscape of traditional Iraqi architecture made of stone or concrete under a darkened sky. The extreme side lighting and specks in the air suggest the moment after an explosion or during a fire, as light ash diffuses from a distance. Devoid of figures or any sense of movement typical of news images coming from the Gulf War, Sami reclaims the power of representation through his recollections and underscores the complicated process of memory through conflict.

“Konferenz: Baselitz, Immendorff, Lüpertz, Penck” is now on view at Kunstmuseum Schloss Derneburg, including these paintings by Jörg Immendorff.

Comprised of over 50 significant works by Georg Baselitz, Jörg Immendorff, Markus Lüpertz and A.R. Penck, the exhibition joins four celebrated post-war German artists with unique and groundbreaking methods of exploring national identity during a time of political fracture.

Critically intertwined after a period of simultaneous representation by gallerist Michael Werner, each artist rejected any fidelity to a specific style, and together offer a broad understanding of generational concerns in the decades prior to the fall of the Berlin Wall.
