Horst Bredekamp (born April 29, 1947 in Kiel ) is a German art historian and image scientist .

Live and act

Bredekamp studied art history, archeology , philosophy and sociology in Kiel, Munich , Berlin and Marburg . In 1974, he was with a thesis on art as a medium of social conflicts, especially the pictures fights from late antiquity to the Hussite revolution, at the University of Marburg doctorate . His doctoral supervisor was Martin Warnke . He then initially worked as a trainee at the Liebieghaus in Frankfurt am Main , and from 1976 as an assistant at the art history seminar at the University of Hamburg .

In 1982, he received the reputation as a professor of art history at the University of Hamburg ; In 1993 he moved to the Humboldt University in Berlin . In 2005 he held the Gadamer endowed professorship in Heidelberg. Bredekamp also made guest stays at the Institute for Advanced Study , Princeton (1991), Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin (1992), Getty Center ( Los Angeles , 1995 and 1998) and at the Collegium Budapest (1999). From 2003 to 2012 he was a permanent fellow at the Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin . Since 2004 Bredekamp has been a member of the Berlin Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities and a member of the German Academy of Sciences Leopoldina in Halle. Bredekamp is also a member of the Board of Trustees of the Schering Foundation .

Bredekamp's main research areas are iconoclasm , Romanesque sculpture , Renaissance and Mannerist art , political iconography , art and technology, and new media . In the course of his move to Berlin, he advocated the transfer of the Census of Antique Works of Art and Architecture Known in the Renaissance to the Humboldt University.

In 2000 he founded the Technical Image Department at the Hermann von Helmholtz Center for Cultural Technology (HZK) at the Humboldt University in Berlin . From 2008 to 2019 Bredekamp headed the research group Image Act and Embodiment at the Humboldt University in Berlin. In June 2012, he was able for the Humboldt University under the second phase of the Excellence Initiative of the federal and state successfully promoting excellence cluster image design knowledge. Acquire an interdisciplinary laboratory . Bredekamp has been the Senior Speaker of the Matters of Activity Cluster of Excellence since 2019 .

In spring 2015, he was appointed to the founding directorship of the future Humboldt Forum in the walls of the rebuilt Berlin City Palace, alongside the British museum director Neil MacGregor (management) and the archaeologist Hermann Parzinger . The founding directorship of Neil MacGregor, Hermann Parzinger and Horst Bredekamp ended with Hartmut Dorgerloh's appointment as general manager by the Board of Trustees of the Humboldt Forum on June 1, 2018.

Image act theory

Jan van Eyck, “Man with the Red Turban” (1433), National Gallery London.

Bredekamp's theory of the image act examines the autonomous power of the image , contrary to a largely predominant constructivist view of reality and the handling of images . When the viewer and the image meet, the recipient does not develop his or her own subjective perception of the image, but is confronted with a counterpart who has and exercises autonomy in its distinct form.

Like David Freedberg in his fundamental study The Power of Images (1989), Bredekamp also ties in with Aby Warburg's image studies and uses an expanded concept of image: the 'image' includes all material artifacts that show a minimum of human processing. While Freedberg's methodology consists in examining the ways in which popular images such as religious votive images are used, Bredekamp incorporates other visual media into his approach and tries to differentiate the approach. The term image act is designed as a counter-model to the concept of speech act , which comes from linguistics . The image is situates in this transfer in the role of the speaker. In artistic practice, this form of “reflexive ensouling” is shown, for example, by speaking works on which inscriptions with self-statements are formulated. The well-known formula “me fecit” (Eng. “Made me”) names, for example, on the frame of Jan van Eyck's man with the red turban (“JOH [ANN] ES DE EYCK ME FECIT A [N] NO MCCC 33 21 OCTOBRIS "; German: Jan Van Eyck made me in 1433 on October 21st) in this way" the double existence of the work as a created object and an autonomous subject ".

Peter Paul Rubens and Frans Snyders, "Head of Medusa" (between 1610 and 1625), Vienna, Kunsthistorisches Museum.

Bredekamp distinguishes between three different forms of the pictorial act:

The schematic pictorial act describes pictorial practices that bring the picture to life by making use of the body schemes or by making bodies themselves pictures. The Tableaux Vivants are mentioned as an example .

The substitutive image act describes the interchangeability of image and body. This role of the image is shown in iconoclasm , when images are punished like living people, or people are killed as a means of terror, “in order to let them become images of destruction”. Examples of this range from the Reformation iconoclasm to shameful pictures such as Leonardo da Vinci's drawing of Bernardo Bandini Baroncelli to the current terrorist tactics of the so-called IS , which annihilates people as living images and images as living enemies. The substitutive image act therefore opens up the social dimension of the images, that is, their function in the creation and reception of sociality .

The intrinsic act of image names the effect that emanates from the specifics of the material and the designed forms, and thus opens up an ontological level of observation. Bredekamp's approach, however, does not consist in reducing the effect of the image to supposedly objective facts, but on the contrary to show an ambiguity of the interpretation already on the level of materiality. Bredekamp points to the power emanating from images or the “potentia” inherent in them, for example through examples of their deliberate veiling. This includes the concealment of Pablo Picasso's anti-war image Guernica in the UN, on the occasion of a declaration of war by Colin Powell in 2003, as well as the targeted curtains of Gustave Courbet's scandalous image The Origin of the World or Peter Paul Rubens ' Head of Medusa .

While reviewers on the one hand missed the theoretical generalizability of the concept ("it is obviously not about theory in a reasonably resilient sense"; "the theoretical instrument of the pictorial act [is] strangely blunt"), the book was on the other hand also considered to be "radical, groundbreaking [n] Study "praised. The international reception of the English translation took up similar points of criticism (“in general, the book paints conceptual exposure and analysis of some of its key ideas”), but at the same time praised the challenging approach of an alternative image experience (“His book paints on a vast canvas that challenges us to understand why the pictures we love or hate exercise that power "). Bredekamp's publication has seen multiple editions and has so far been translated into six languages, including Italian as “Atto iconico”, French as “Théorie de l'acte d'image”, Portuguese and Spanish as “Acto Icónico” and English as "Image Acts". The pictorial act theory receives special attention in the Asian cultural area because it is understood as a parallel to one's own aesthetic concepts. This is also borne out by the translation of the theory of the pictorial act into Chinese.

Humboldt Forum

On April 18, 2001, Horst Bredekamp formulated a concept for the Humboldt Forum “as a museum of the history of science” in front of the expert commission “Historic Center Berlin” during the public hearing and in parallel in the FAZ . He explained that the global and, in the sense of Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, egalitarian art chamber of the Berlin Palace was not only the nucleus of the Berlin museums, but also the scientific history collections of the Friedrich Wilhelms University in Berlin. There is "the non-recurring chance that the Kunstkammer will find its way back to its old location in a contemporary form."

Together with the project to establish the Berlin State Library in the palace and to represent the non-European collections of the Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation , the historical core of which also comes from the palace's art chamber, this concept was accepted by the expert commission and presented to the Bundestag . This passed it on July 2, 2002.

Since then, Horst Bredekamp has worked on the steering committees for the reconstruction of the castle and the founding of the Humboldt Forum. From April 2015 to June 2018 he was appointed founding director of the Humboldt Forum together with Neil MacGregor and Hermann Parzinger . Together with Peter-Klaus Schuster, he had published the history of the Humboldt Forum including documents. In an analysis of Berlin's architectural history from 2018, Bredekamp emphasized the structural connections between the old Berlin Palace and the new Humboldt Forum by architect Franco Stella and Italian art. Bredekamp emphasizes a collection history that, starting with the Kunstkammer as a world museum, understands the collection of artefacts from foreign cultures as an instrument of critical self-knowledge and as an advertisement for the understanding of the "other". He last traced this reference to the anti-colonial traditions of collecting in the book Aby Warburg of the Indians (2019) .

"Galileo the Artist"

In 2007, Bredekamp's monograph Galilei the Artists was published. The moon, the sun, the hand , which also included a special edition of Galileo's Sidereus Nuncius that appeared in a US antiquarian bookshop in 2005 . This edition contained previously unknown ink drawings attributed to Galileo. After a thorough examination, including material studies, this sensational special edition was found to be genuine by a research team led by Bredekamp. According to Bredekamp's monograph, Galileo's lunar and sun drawings obtained through the telescope reveal that the style of the representations determined the meaning of what was depicted, i.e. that Galileo's drawing art was to be understood as an essential instrument of his research, and that Galileo's scientific cognitive process was practically carried out during artistic drawing.

The edition that appeared in 2005 then turned out to be a forgery from 2012 onwards , which was allegedly brought into the US antiques trade by the Italian antiquarian Marino Massimo De Caro . Although from May 2012 it could be assumed that the special edition of the Sidereus Nuncius had to be a forgery, the German public was not informed. Peter Frensch , Vice President of the Humboldt University, instead instructed Bredekamp and his research group to re-examine the suspicious “star messenger” and to officially present the results in a further publication. The case was discussed by the German public in December 2013 in response to an article in the New Yorker publik and subsequently widely discussed.

On February 14, 2014, Bredekamp and his research group at Humboldt University presented the third publication on the special edition, in which they revised the results of the first two volumes and confirmed the special edition of the Sidereus Nuncius as a forgery. The monograph Galilei der Künstler , published in 2007 , was then presented by Bredekamp in 2015 under the title Galileo's thinking hand in a new version - "adjusted for an incorrect attribution".

Historical image science

In order to take up those roots of art history as general picture history, from which the discipline was developed in the 19th century, Bredekamp reintegrated the once art-historical research area of ​​prehistory into his most recent investigations. In doing so, he also expanded scientific connections in areas beyond the visual arts. For him, the application of image-critical methods and the formation of theories of visual knowledge in the fields of scientific, technical and medical imaging are of particular importance. The journal Bildwelten des Wissens (since 2003) and the standard work Das Technische Bild (2008 and 2015), which has been translated into English , already emerged from his research on historical image science .
