IN MEMORIAM: Robert Morris (9 February 1931 - 28 November 2018)
FILM OPENING: Never Look Away. Using a very traditional narrative approach, with stunning cinematography, Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck’s film, suggested by the life of Gerhard Richter, is the German entry for the Best Foreign Language Academy Award. It is by turns horrifying and wickedly funny as it eviscerates the pretensions of the art establishment in Communist East Germany and in the Düsseldorf-centered art world of the West. Particular barbs are aimed at the mendacity and mendicity of the political class from the Nazi Era onwards on all sides, but along the way there are wonderfully evocative portraits of the operators who rose to the top in the schools for Socialist Realism in the East and for Conceptualism in the West. The portrayals suggested by such figures as Joseph Beuys and Heiner Friedrich are particularly notable, but these are only two of many indelible portraits.
