Neuware - Non-European artworks in European and American museums have become the subject of controversial debate. How exactly these collections of art from Africa, North and South America, Asia, and Oceania have been amassed in the Global North over centuries, and how such works continue to be acquired and traded today, is under close scrutiny, and claims for their restitution to the places and people of their origin are voiced loudly. Zurich's Museum Rietberg, one of Europe's most renowned museums of non-Western art, has undertaken an extensive exhibition project to explore the thoroughly ambivalent history of its own collection. The essays in this illustrated reader published in conjunction with the exhibition investigate the pathways along which objects traveled to the museum. They shed light on how the meaning of these artifacts has shifted in the course of the transfers. And they demonstrate the importance of provenance research for learning comprehensively about, and taking a critical approach in, the assessment of the complex biographies of artifacts. Pathways of Art offers an important contribution to the current debate about the status and impact of non-European art in the Global North. It aims to foster awareness of the colonial and postcolonial contexts of trading and collecting such artworks and to help establish new museum narratives.; Kunstwerke nicht-westlicher Kulturen in europäischen und amerikanischen Museen sind aktuell Gegenstand kontroverser Debatten. Wie genau diese Sammlungen von Artefakten aus Afrika, Nord- und Südamerika, Asien und Ozeanien im Globalen Norden über Jahrhunderte hinweg zusammengetragen wurden und wie solche Werke auch heute noch erworben und gehandelt werden, wird kritisch unter die Lupe genommen. Die Forderungen nach ihrer Rückgabe an die Herkunftsländer werden lautstark vorgetragen. Das Museum Rietberg in Zürich, eines der renommiertesten Museen für aussereuropäische Kunst in Europa, hat sich in einem umfangreichen Ausstellungsprojekt mit der durchaus ambivalenten Geschichte der eigenen Sammlung auseinandergesetzt. Die Aufsätze ausgewiesener Expertinnen und Experten in diesem illustrierten Lesebuch erkunden die Wege ausgewählter Objekte von ihren Ursprüngen bis ins Museum. Sie beleuchten dabei insbesondere auch die Bedeutungsverschiebungen, die sich für diese Artefakte im Laufe der Transfers ergeben haben. Und sie machen deutlich, wie wichtig Provenienzforschung für das Verständnis der oft komplexen Biografien von Kunstwerken und für eine kritische Sammlungsgeschichte ist. Pathways of Art bietet einen wichtigen Beitrag zur aktuellen Debatte um den Status und die Bedeutung nicht-westlicher Kunst im globalen Norden. Der englischsprachige Band vermittelt ein Bewusstsein für koloniale und postkoloniale Kontexte des Handels mit und des Sammelns von Kunstwerken nicht-westlicher Kulturen und trägt dazu bei, neue Museumsnarrative zu etablieren.…

- Offers an important and multi-faceted contribution to the current controversial debate around the colonial history of collections of art works from indigenous cultures and the loudly voiced claims for their restitution
- Demonstrates the importance of provenance research for a critical approach in the assessment of the complex biographies of artefacts
- Contributes to a higher awareness of colonial and post-colonial contexts of trading and collecting art created by indigenous people and to establishing new, more informed and just museum narratives
Art works created by indigenous people on other continents in European and American museums have become the subject of controversial debate. How exactly these collections of tribal art from Africa, North and South America, Asia, and Oceania in rich countries have been amassed over centuries, and how such works continue to be sourced and traded today, is under close scrutiny and claims for their restitution to the places and people of their origin are voiced loudly.
Zurich’s Museum Rietberg, one of Europe’s most renowned museums of non-European art, has undertaken an extensive research project to explore the history of its own collection. The essays by expert authors in this illustrated publication investigate the pathways along which objects travelled from their origins to the museum. They shed light at the shifts in meaning of these artefacts that have occurred in the course of the transfers. And they demonstrate the importance of provenance research for learning comprehensively about and taking a critical approach in the assessment of the complex biographies of artefacts.
Pathways of Art offers an important contribution to the current debate about the status and impact of non-European art in the global North. It aims to foster awareness of colonial and post-colonial contexts of trading and collecting such art works and to help to establish new, more informed and just, and less Eurocentric, museum narratives.
