With the opening of the new Kunst museum Ravensburg, the Stiftung Selinka is presenting to the city of Ravensburg more than 200 significant works of art of the 20th century on permanent loan. The bundle of works from the Expressionist period, as well as from the Cobra and Spur groups, forms the basis for the future exhibition activity of the new institute. The opening exhibition bears the title 'Appassionata', after the painting of the same name from the collection by Asger Jorn. The book examines "private-public-partnerships", questions the concept of feeling in the programmes of the artist groupings of Expressionism, Cobra and Spur, and documents how the collection was created in a talk between the future director, Nicole Fritz, and collector Gudrun Selinka. 0Exhibition: Kunstmuseum Ravensburg, Germany (8.3.2013).

From the 1960s and 1970s onwards, different sculptors became involved with a mode of realism based on the physically lifelike appearance of the human body. By deploying traditional techniques of modelling, casting and painting in order to recreate human figures they follow different approaches towards a contemporary form of figural realism. The sculptures show how the way we see our bodies has been subject to constant change. The publication presents artworks of all important representatives of Hyperrealism. From the early pioneers like George Segal, Duane Hanson and John DeAndrea this comprehensive selection demonstrates how Hyperrealistic sculptures continuously developed up to the current stars of the movement like Ron Mueck, Sam Jinks, Evan Penny, Tony Matelli, and Patricia Piccinini.
