Frank Gerritz, born in 1964 in Hamburg, is an artist whose ideas literally move in space. Starting from the floor, his work spills onto the wall and, from there, has an effect back into the room. The sculptor works, among other things, on aluminum panels with paintsticks in such dense layers that the surfaces on the one hand appear sealed, yet the structure of the application on the other hand remains visible. Black is not always black; where the silver-anodized aluminum sur­faces reflect the room, the darker parts of the ­surfaces reveal a shimmering, a residue of light that changes depending on the viewpoint and light conditions. The drawn surfaces--graphite pencil or paintstick on MDF boards or aluminum--develop a materiality characterized by blurred reflections, thus transferring the surfaces of the two-dimen­sional image carriers into a spatial dimension. In addition, Gerritz casts iron blocks based on his own body dimensions; their stand area form the basis for his first prints on paper and define the proportions of his sculptural works in front of the wall. The catalog shows the inherent spatiality of the wall objects and sculptural groups and unfolds specific details.

Jean de Jullienne (1686–1766) was one of the leading French amateurs and collectors of the eighteenth century. He played an important role as editor and dealer, most famously of Watteau’s œuvre, and held an influential position in the French art administration of his time, as director of the Gobelins factory until 1729. Jullienne’s collection epitomizes the most advanced taste of Parisian private collectors of the period. His strong interest in contemporary French art, Netherlandish painting, in sketches, pastels and drawings were all typical or even trendsetting for a new generation of rich Parisian collectors with only loose ties to the French court. The two sales of his collection were major events for the European art market. The watercolor views of his collection in the inventory from 1756, a unique document for the period, are here published in their entirety for the first time. This exhibition catalog will present masterworks from Jullienne’s collection, including Rubens, Rembrandt, Watteau, Wouwermans, Netscher, Bourdon, Vanloo, Greuze and Vernet. These are drawn from the Wallace Collection as well as museums in London, Edinburgh, Valenciennes, Berlin and from several important British private collections.

Die zunehmende Arbeitslosigkeit in der Bundesrepublik aussert sich in einer Aussenverlagerung der Beveridge-Kurve. In dieser Arbeit werden ausgehend von einem Strom-Bestands-Ansatz die theoretischen Ursachen hierfur analysiert. Im Mittelpunkt stehen dabei der Einfluss von Lohnsetzung und Langzeitarbeitslosigkeit. Eine branchenbezogene antizipative Insider-Lohnsetzung bei Lohnfuhrerschaft eines Sektors mit durchschnittlicher Produktivitatsentwicklung stellt eine besonders problematische Konstellation dar. Entwertet sich das Humankapital wahrend der Arbeitslosigkeit, fuhrt schon ein schwacher Abschwung zu einer dauerhaften Zunahme der Arbeitslosigkeit. Der Effekt wird durch die Berucksichtigung von Insider-Lohnsetzung zusatzlich verstarkt. Eine Datenanalyse zeigt, dass hier eine Erklarung fur die beobachtbare Aussenverlagerung der Beveridge-Kurve liegt."
