‎, Darling publ., 2022 Hardcover, 35x33cm, 107 pages ( 200gr silky paper) with full color illustrations. NL/ENG text ISBN 9783945525814.‎

‎The sensation of turning the beautiful printed pages, sensing the smooth resistance of the 200gr silky paper as well as experiencing the today rarely seen art of bookbinding manufacture in your hands, should be understood by those genuinely interested in exquisite built violins and cellos from spruce and maple, made by talented luthier hands and played with sensitive and reactive pernambuco bows. And the ears to be touched by vibrations of beauty, created with competence and some luck of a matching player, instrument and bow. For that experience even ordering this really nice book will even not be adequate. Best suggestion is to try to get an instrument by Anton in your hands and play it! --- Anton Somers. Born in 1986, Borgerhout, Belgium. Ever since childhood he was very passionate about woodworking. At the age of 15 he made his first instrument, the next year he started studying at the violin making school of Antwerp. Directly after his studies in 2006 he worked in a local workshop in Brussels till 2011. Anton then decided to take the leap and started his own business opening his workshop in his hometown Melsele where he grew up and is strongly connected to the cultural life. From 2013 till 2015 Anton Somers and his former employer tried to work together again, but now as chef d'atelier, in the workshop premises of Anton in Melsele. where he worked meanwhile on his own account. One can see finally an output of high quality instruments under his own name, with his own models and with his own varnish, which lead to a boost in his career. In September 2016 Anton also took on the challenge to work as a teacher in the violin making school of Antwerp ILSA. Sharing his knowledge for 5 years, he stopped teaching at the end of 2021 to be able to fully focus on his career. In December 2016 Anton received a Coup du Coeur in the violin making competition ?Violoncellenseine? in Paris which was dedicated to the cello. The cello was specially awarded for his tonality qualities by renowned cellist Damian Martinez Marco. In 2020 Anton was selected by Andy Lim personally to serve as one of the five supervisors for the 3-year string sextet project, where 24 last year student/ recently graduated violinmakers will make 2 violins, 2 violas and 2 cellos. Anton has the honour and the challenge to supervice the making of 2 cellos. In 2021 Anton made a string quartet containing completely CITES certified whalebone purflings. This quartet is shown in the book published by Darling Publications "Anton Somers Vioolbouwer te Antwerpen ~ 22 instruments of the violin family 2012-2021 which was launched in Brussels, June 2021. Anton?s instruments are appreciated by the most demanding musicians as also by investors who keep them in their private collection. ‎

‎Susanne Rottenbacher, Volume I - Beginning to see the light, Band 1 einer zweiteiligen Monografie ‎

‎, Darling Publications, 2009 Hardcover, 48 pages, ENG / GER, 330 x 330 x 15 mm, NEW / NEU, illustr. in colour / b/w.Large Format ISBN 9783941765061.‎

‎Susanne Rottenbacher studied stage design at Barnard College[1] from 1988 to 1991 in New York (B.A.) and then (1991-1992) completed a degree in light (MSc) at the Bartlett School of Architecture and Planning in London. She worked as a set designer at the Deutsche Oper Berlin and as a light designer for the "LichtKunstLicht" planning office. In this context, among other things, she designed the lighting design for the Federal Chancellery and the new government buildings. She has been working as a freelance light artist since 2007. Susanne Rottenbacher creates expansive installations from sculptural elements that can best be described as light-colored bodies. Her sculptures are characterised by great lightness and transparency and change in dialogue with the surrounding space and times of day. They penetrate the surrounding space like three-dimensional drawings and thus reinterpret it. The organically curved forms seem to be in dynamic motion and at the same time frozen in time and space‎

‎What do West Berlin's world-famous ICC, one of the most important pieces of 1970s pop and hi-tech architecture, and the nondescript garages, lounges, or bowling alley of the erstwhile motor pool of the GDR Council of Ministers in Lichtenberg, East Berlin, have in common? The first was created in order to show off West Berlin's claim to global city status. To this day it is regarded as one of the most successful conference centers, yet the ICC's future is still under dispute. The second was once used by the SED leadership to exhibit their claims to power and has been used, since the regime's collapse in 1989, by automobilefocused firms and now also as a gallery, exhibition and studio center. Berlin-based photographer Claus Rottenbacher and architecture historian Nikolaus Bernau investigate the astonishingly well-preserved state of these chronological documents, their ostentatious aesthetic orientation to the "zeitgeist" which was, after all, put to the service of completely different social and cultural systems. They discover a commonality that is located beyond the formal differences.‎

‎Social Consequences of Literacy in Medieval Scandinavia‎

‎, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2004 Hardcover. XVII 279 p., 40 b/w ill., 4 b/w line art, 160 x 240 mm, Languages: English, Fine copy. Including an index. ISBN 9782503514505.‎

‎Between 1000 and 1536 Scandinavia was transformed from a conglomerate of largely pre-state societies to societies with state governments. The state increasingly monopolised ?legitimate? violence. Church and state used literacy to strengthen social control in central and important areas: jurisdiction, religion and accounting. Written laws made social norms more precise and easier to change, a necessity in an increasingly complex society. The basic social transformations of the period cannot be attributed to increasing literacy alone, but the written word rendered them more peaceful and gradual, and strengthened social conformity and cohesion. Writing in Roman letters was introduced late to Scandinavia (ca. 1000 ad); consequently the transition from orality to literacy is better documented than in many other European societies. The rich saga literature from the twelfth and thirteenth centuries emerged at the time that administrative literacy was introduced. Until the fourteenth century, literacy was mainly promoted by church and state in their efforts to pacify and control society. Then the literate elites grew, encompassing ever larger groups of officials, clerks, merchants and artisans, many of whom were now educated in town schools. The resulting elite culture prepared the ground for the development of a proto-national identity.‎

‎Undressing Rubens : Fashion and Painting in Seventeenth-Century Antwerp‎

‎, Brepols - Harvey Miller 2019, 2019 Hardcover,232 pages ., 3 b/w ill. + 136 colour ill., 220 x 280 mm , English, , . ISBN 9781912554225.‎

‎The essays collected in this volume meet at a point of convergence between costume, art, and history, and focus on the seventeenth-century Southern Netherlands. Undressing Rubens looks at the significance of costume in life and art in the age of Rubens, confirming that, as is increasingly recognised by scholars of many aspects of early modern European culture, this is hardly an insular topic. Cloth and clothing in seventeenth-century Flemish paintings lead the contributing scholars north of the border to the United Provinces, south to courts in Florence, Mantua, Madrid and elsewhere, and east to Cologne and, ultimately, to Japan. Stretching back several centuries to provide critical context and points of origin for many seventeenth-century practices and ideas, the innovative research presented here also points forward in time, dealing with implications in later centuries but also, in many cases, engaging directly with questions of historiography still quite relevant today.‎

‎Angela Grauerholz : The 2015 winner of the Scotiabank Photography Award‎

‎, Steidl Publishers 2016, 2016 Hardcover, 234 pages, English, 310 x 255 mm, book in new state, . ISBN 9783958291225.‎

‎Over the course of her career, Angela Grauerholz has created a subjective vision of our world, full of intimate moments that reveal the passage of time. Her spaces are filled with people, glimpses of public and private interiors, and ethereal rural and urban landscapes. The out-of-focus quality of her photographs transforms them into a stream of consciousness, generating a sense of collective memory. She considers this approach ?a representation of our experience: a continuous prodding into something that escapes us continuously.? Turning away from the single image shown on the wall, her photographs are displayed inside cabinets, in portfolios or on sliding panels. This method creates new viewing possibilities, opens up narrative potential, and pushes the concept of the archive to reveal its potentially endless thematic categories and points of entry. Grauerholz?s attention to how the medium is displayed and experienced makes the viewer an active participant in her photographic universe.‎

‎Kandinsky Pionier van de abstracte kunst‎

‎, Waanders, 2024 softcover 144 pag. met prachtige illustraties. ISBN 9789462586369.‎

‎Volg Wassily Kandinsky op zijn reis van het impressionisme naar de abstracte kunst Wassily Kandinsky (Moskou 1866-Parijs 1944) is van niet te onderschatten betekenis geweest voor de kunst. Zijn ontwikkeling verliep van figuratief, bijna impressionistisch werk, naar een organische, hybride vormentaal. Dit boek laat de artistieke weg van de Russisch-Franse kunstenaar zien. Hij was een van de pioniers van de abstracte kunst die de kunstwereld op zijn kop zette. Kandinsky werd geboren in tsaristisch Rusland, vestigde naam als leraar aan het vermaarde Bauhaus in Duitsland, ontvluchtte het fascisme en kwam terecht in Frankrijk waar hij tot Fransman werd genaturaliseerd. Oorlogen, crises en revoluties hadden hun beslag op de kunstenaar. Zijn onwaarschijnlijke levensverhaal is terug te zien in de rijkdom van zijn kunst. Dat er zoveel van hem bewaard bleef, is te danken aan zijn weduwe Nina. Zij schonk kunst en archiefstukken aan de Franse staat. Daar kwamen ze terecht in Centre Pompidou, een van de grootste musea voor moderne en hedendaagse kunst ter wereld. Dit boek verschijnt bij de tentoonstelling in H?ART Museum. Het museum laat topstukken zien als Mit dem schwarzen Bogen (1912), Accord r ciproque (1942) maar ook het levensgrote Salon (1922). Het is de reconstructie van het Bauhauswerk dat tijdens het bombardement op Berlijn verloren ging.‎
