In the catalogue accompanying the exhibition Art and Alchemy: The Mystery of Transformation internationally renowned scientists introduce the results of their most recent research. In this richly illustrated volume the exhibits are discussed in relation to alchemy in more than 60 object texts. In the mysterious representation of Melancholy by Lucas Cranach the Elder, in the Allegory of Fire by Jan Brueghel the Elder, and in a variety of works by Hendrick Goltzius one can sense the strong impulse that emanated from alchemy and influenced art. In modern art alchemy has a key function in the works of Yves Klein, Joseph Beuys, Sigmar Polke and Anish Kapoor, to name just a few. These interrelations between modern/contemporary art and alchemy will be featured in a selection of works by prominent artists such as: Joseph Beuys (1921 1986); James Lee Byars (19321997); Leonora Carrington (19172011); Marcel Duchamp (18871968); Max Ernst (18911976); Rebecca Horn (b. 1944); Thomas Huber (b. 1955); Anselm Kiefer (b. 1945); Yves Klein (1928-1962); Jannis Kounellis (b. 1936); Eva Andree Laramee (b. 1956); Helmut Schweizer (b. 1946); Gerda Steiner (b. 1967) & Jorg Lenzlinger (b. 1964).
