Abstract
Das Werkverzeichnis des Düsseldorfer Malers, Fotografen und Objektkünstlers Achim Duchow (1948 – 1993) lädt ein zur Wiederentdeckung eines komplexen OEuvres. Im spielerischen Umgang mit Autorschaft, Subjektivität und Medien, dem unmittelbaren Zugriff auf alle ihn bewegenden Themen ist ein Werk entstanden, das auch heute noch seine Wirkung entfaltet. In chronologischer Folge, unterbrochen von einzelnen Essays verzeichnet die Publikation als eine über 400-seitige
Liste alle Phasen des Werks: Duchows Zusammenarbeit mit Sigmar Polke in den 1970er Jahren, seinen zweieinhalbjährigen Aufenthalt in Japan, seine Rückkehr 1981 in eine Kunstszene, die sich rasant in Richtung Marktgängigkeit verändert hatte, seine Arbeit an einem neuen Selbstverständnis als Künstler und Kulturarbeiter, seine malerische Auseinandersetzung mit deutscher Geschichte und Politik, mit Kolonialismus und Wiedervereinigung, aber auch mit dem Informel und dem Konstruktivismus. Das Werkverzeichnis katalogisiert alle auffindbaren Arbeiten sowie Texte von Duchow selbst. Weggefährt·innen und Historiker·innen geben einen Einblick in den radikalen Kontext seines Lebens.
A look at the catalogue raisonné of Düsseldorf painter, photographer, and object artist Achim Duchow (1948 – 1993) suggests a complex oeuvre that is ripe for rediscovery. His playful relationship with authorship, subjectivity, and media and the directness with which he addresses the subjects that motivate him have led to the creation of a body of work whose impact is still unfolding today. In over 400 pages, the book lists all the phases of the artist’s oeuvre mapped in chronological order and punctuated by individual essays: the list covers Duchow’s collaboration with Sigmar Polke in the 1970s, the two and a half years he spent in Japan, his return in 1981 to an art scene that had rapidly shifted its focus to marketability, his efforts to construct a new sense of himself as an artist and cultural worker, and his painterly engagement with German history and politics, with colonialism and reunification, and with art informel and constructivism. The catalogue raisonné lists all the works that can be located along with texts by Duchow himself. Close associates and historians shed light on the radical context in which his life unfolded.
