Street prints

Caro Jost's works are called street prints . In 2000 Caro Jost developed the street print technique and realized the first works on canvas in New York. This technique is based on impressions of streets and paths in different cities and metropolises. The work process begins with researching events and locations that could be of interest for a print and subsequent print. These are places that play a special role for Jost personally or in their art-historical context. Many refer directly to the workplaces and fate of famous artists in several ways. The names of the artists and the events are not mentioned, only the streets and squares are named in the captions, as in the street prints: Central Park West / 61th Street, New York (where Max Beckmann suffered a heart attack), Ground Zero , New York , or Burdenko 8, Moscow (former Wassily Kandinsky house ).

Room installation stop-over / cross-over

In 2009 the installation stop-over / cross-over was shown at the Munich Residence . The more than 13 m² large wall piece consists of 42 street prints from 19 different cities, such as New York, Paris , London , Istanbul or Berlin . A former Thonet chair from the bar of the same name by Charles Schumann in Munich forms the focus of the installation. The chair did its job as a regular seat for years - today it is cast in a plaster base, firmly attached to the floor.

Invoice Paintings

In the INVOICE PAINTINGS series of works , Caro Jost uses original invoices collected in the archives of important artists such as Barnett Newman and Günther Uecker . As in her street prints (since 2000), Caro Jost searches for and follows the traces of the recent past, conserves and comments on them, revises and alienates them, and transfers them into the present.

Movie

In 2010 Caro Jost started the film project Tenth Street, New York. The film was shot in New York at the original locations of the former apartments, exhibition locations such as the Tenth Street Galleries and the Abstract Expressionists' studios . The film project shows what of these places, where art history was written in the middle of the 20th century, still exists today. Contemporary witnesses such as the art historian Irving Sandler, artists such as Alex Katz and Philip Pearlstein , and relatives of the artists give interviews.
