Addressing and reimagining the frailty of global economic systems and the precariousness of our era, Human Condition draws on works by Lida Abdul, Marcel Dzama, Maria Lassnig, Mark Manders, Kris Martin and Adrian Paci, and writings on ethics and judgment by Hannah Arendt, Judith Butler, Jeremy Rifkin and others, to reexamine conceptions of humanity in unstable times.

As the Cold War drew toward its tumultuous close, artists in the United States and Germany such as Isa Genzken, Félix González-Torres, Mike Kelley, Martin Kippenberger, Jeff Koons, Zoe Leonard, Albert Oehlen, Richard Prince, Julian Schnabel, Cindy Sherman, Thomas Struth, Rosemarie Trockel, Franz West and Christopher Wool responded in ways direct and indirect to the shifting order happening under their feet. This volume, published on the occasion of a group show at Galerie Max Hetzler, travels between the centers of art in America and German-speaking Europe: Los Angeles and New York, Cologne and Vienna. As these cities, at the center of the world's realignment of values and politics, conversed with each other, it became apparent that their artistic rebellion was poised to overthrow the aesthetics of the past for a new freedom of idiosyncratic approaches.

Maria Lassnig (1919-2014) is internationally recognized as one of the most important painters of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. This publication provides the first comprehensive index of Lassnig's film works, offering insight into the filmmaker's world of ideas through a wide selection of Lassnig's own, previously unpublished notes.
