(English / German / Chinese)
The fourth volume in the planned catalogue raisonn of Michael M ller's
artistic work comprising over 40 volumes a unique project spanning
decades - not only offers an overview of M ller's painterly oeuvre, but
also functions as an exhibition catalogue. It is dedicated to the
monumental painting "Der geschenkte Tag", measuring over 6 x 65 m, which
is being created for Michael M ller's solo exhibition at the St del
Museum in Frankfurt, 2022. The 24-part painting as well as the
exhibition as a whole elaborate on the Greek myth of the twins Castor
and Pollux, the Dioscuri, which has received little attention from art
history or philology and philosophy to date. In addition to the history
of the works' creation, a compilation of historical textual sources and
an extensive interview with the artist, essays, and a lyrical
composition by American literary scholar and translator Stanley Lombardo
will update the story of the Dioscuri for the 21st century.
