Medienschau: Otto Muehl, Galliano, Bauhaus, Struth, Wiley

A German media review covers controversies and interviews. Olga Kronsteiner criticizes the upcoming Otto Muehl exhibition 'Kunst am Abgrund' at the Vienna Actionism Museum, citing consent issues with the painting 'Erdbeben 2' and legal concerns raised by jurist Maria Windhager. In the taz, Barbara Steiner, director of the Bauhaus Dessau Foundation, responds to AfD attacks, defending the Bauhaus as hybrid and warning against patriotic cultural concepts. The New York Times reports on opposition to the Met's John Galliano exhibition, with City Council speaker Julie Menin calling it a serious mistake, while Anna Wintour defends it. Vanity Fair reveals that a Kehinde Wiley painting was covered in the US Embassy in Santo Domingo, with Art in Embassies director Erin Scavino citing aesthetic concerns and potential sale. In a Deutschlandfunk interview, photographer Thomas Struth discusses his shift from painting to photography, his portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, and his museum visitor photos. Monopol's September issue features Maurizio Cattelan, who will receive the revamped National Gallery Prize in Berlin, and a photo series by Charlotte Gainsbourg of her father Serge's house.
