In the fall of 2013 the Museum Villa Stuck presents \u2013 as an anniversary project – the exhibition \u201eIn the Temple of the Self: The Artist\u2019s Residence as a Total Work of Art\u201d. An exemplary artist\u2019s residence, the Stuck villa is not just the supreme expression of \u201cartist prince\u201d Franz von Stuck\u2019s life-as-total-work-of-art, but also his most splendid artwork. It is the culmination of his aspirations for a unification of all the arts. To Stuck himself the ancient-looking villa was both cosmos and personal pantheon, an embodiment of his self and a colourfully blazing source of inspiration for his work. Thus it epitomises everything that an artist\u2019s residence can accomplish, transcending mere representation and image cultivation.
\nIn this exhibition, the type of artist\u2019s residence that is designed and built by the artist \u2013 or at least created with essential input from the artist \u2013 is examined in an international context. Some 20 examples bring to life the fascination such materialised artist\u2019s fantasies continue to exert on people to this very day. For all their individuality, the selected examples in Europe and America epitomise ideas, styles and eras on the respective continents in the period from 1800 to 1948. Within international exchange, as well as within the competition between the individual artists, their residences play a significant role and each rank among their creators\u2019 most important works.<\/p>\n
