, Christian Eljers Forlag/Dansk Mobelkunst , 2007 Hardcover with dusjacket 2 volumes / slipcase; complet.223+ 327 pages, Illustrated. *fine condition. ISBN 9787872412511.
Danish Furniture Design in the XXth Century - Widely considered as the best assessment of modern Danish furniture available in English and are beautifully illustrated with historic photographs and new photographs of surviving pieces. Many of the photographs of some of the best pieces in museums and public buildings in Copenhagen appear to have been taken specifically for the book. Full-page photographs are set out facing reproductions of original presentation or technical drawings. Karlsen was an architect who worked with Mogens Koch, to whom the volumes are dedicated, and he approaches the subject through his hands-on experience as a furniture designer. The volumes provide a very readable and a very good broad chronological overview but what makes them invaluable is the addition of detailed and critical assessments of the most important and influential examples of chairs, tables and storage furniture produced through the century.

Gianni Versace | Retrospective
, Waanders / Groninger Museum, 2022 Hardcover, 178 pag. NL, 295 x 235 mm, NIEUW, Circa 150 afbeeldingen in kleur . ISBN 9789462585188.
Gianni Versace. Een naam die je direct associeert met stijl, weerbarstige verfijning ? kleur, creativiteit, kunst. In Gianni Versace Retrospective komt het werk een van de meest invloedrijke couturiers ooit tot leven. De excentrieke Italiaanse modeontwerper Gianni Versace neemt je mee in de wereld van extravagante kleding en uitbundige catwalkshows waarin mode, pop en design op spectaculaire wijze samenkomen. Gianni Versace werd 25 jaar geleden vermoord, maar zijn vooruitstrevende filosofie is nog steeds herkenbaar in het modebeeld van nu. Het Groninger Museum eert Gianni Versace en zijn baanbrekende ontwerpen in een grootse tentoonstelling. Spectaculaire foto?s van heren- en damesoutfits, accessoires, stoffen, tekeningen, interieurdesigns en filmopnames van de legendarische shows uit zijn glorietijd tussen 1989 en 1997 laten zien hoe uitzonderlijk creatief Gianni Versace was. Hij verbond mode met muziek, fotografie en grafisch ontwerp en liep hiermee voorop bij de transformatie van modeshows en reclamecampagnes in kunstwerken. De Italiaan wist de kunsten samen te brengen zoals nog nooit eerder vertoond.
Trecento Pictoriality: Diagrammatic Painting in Late Medieval Italy
, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2023 Hardback, 367 pages, Size:220 x 280 mm, Illustrations:115 col., Language: English. ISBN 9781915487049.
Summary In dozens of monumental examples across central and northern Italy, late-medieval artists created complex diagrammatic paintings whose content was conveyed not through proto-perspectival spaces but rather through complex circles, trees, hierarchical stemmata, and winding pathways. Trecento Pictoriality is the first comprehensive study of the practice of monumental diagrammatic painting in late-medieval Italy, moving the study of diagrams from the manuscript page to the frescoed wall and tempera panel. Often placed alongside narrative, devotional, and allegorical paintings, the diagrammatic mode was one of a number of pictorial modes available to artists, patrons, and planners, with a unique ability to present complex content to viewers. While monumental diagrams may have sparked some of the experiences usually associated with diagrams in manuscripts, acting as machines for thought, scaffolds for memory, or tools for the visualization of complex concepts, their reception was also shaped by their presence in public spaces, their scale and aura as richly decorated works of monumental visual art, and their insertion into larger pictorial programs. Closely examining the visual and communicative strategies of these paintings expands the horizon of trecento art history beyond narrative and devotional painting, and shifts our understanding of all of the arts of the trecento, calling attention to issues of scale, visual rhetoric, pictorial ingenuity, and reception.
Sam shaw
, Hatje Cantz Pub, 2011 Hardcover 240 pages 31x27 cm English. **black hardcover with photo ISBN 9783775726955.
The amiably spontaneous pictures taken by Sam Shaw (1912-1999) are well known: the native and life-long New Yorker shot countless cover photographs for Life and Look in the fifties and sixties, and later also took the still images for the films he produced himself. Shaw and Marilyn Monroe were friends, and he captured her unique aura in countless unpretentious portraits. During the filming of The Seven Year Itch, he staged his probably best known picture with her: Marilyn standing over a subway grate, a waft of air blowing the skirt of her white dress above her knees. Sam Shaw also portrayed almost every major Hollywood star of his day, consistently capturing the moment in his quest for truthfulness, with enthusiasm and from a new perspective, just as if he were selecting the camera angle for a film sequence. The researcher and author Lorie Karnath, the book's editor, enhances the publication with very personal memories of her long-time friend.

Faith and Knowledge in Late Medieval and Early Modern Scandinavia
, Brepols, 2020 Hardback, 306 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:19 col., 6 tables b/w., Language: English. ISBN 9782503579009.
Summary This book investigates the interface between faith and knowledge in Scandinavia in the centuries before and after the Reformation, a period in which the line between belief and knowledge was often blurred, and local traditions remained influential. While Scandinavia was undoubtedly an integral part of Latin Christendom before the arrival of Lutheranism, the essays gathered together in this volume demonstrate that religious discourse still took a unique form in this region. Faith was influenced by magical practices centred on remnants of Nordic paganism, local wisdom literature, and metaphoric language about the divine that diverged considerably from that of the Judeo-Christian tradition. Texts, motifs, and practices that were common throughout Europe were also transformed and altered within this northern setting. Covering the late medieval up to the early modern period, this volume offers new insights into intellectual culture in Scandinavia, and the remarkable longevity of local beliefs even into the early post-Reformation period.

Aucun autre cabinet n'est aussi largement représenté le long des quais d'Anvers, mais cet accomplissement ne reflète pas la diversité exceptionnelle de leurs projets, tant résidentiels que commerciaux. Ces dernières années, Conix a reçu beaucoup d'attention internationale pour un projet en particulier : la rénovation récemment achevée du monument de design du milieu du siècle, l'Atomium, à Bruxelles, une réplique d'un atome qui mesure plus de 300 pieds de haut, avec un espace différent dans chaque sphère de 60 pieds, allant d'un musée pour enfants à un restaurant. ""Conix Architecten"" présente un design intérieur exceptionnellement épuré et les pages du livre sont même bordées d'argent. Avec une attention particulière portée à l'Atomium, il présente une sélection de projets récents remarquables en 200 illustrations. [Cette description peut avoir été traduite par une IA.]

Urban Literacy in the Nordic Middle Ages
, Brepols, 2021 Hardback, xv + 465 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:46 b/w, 2 maps b/w, Language: English. ISBN 9782503596747.
Summary This volume explores literacy in the medieval towns of Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Finland, and aims to understand the extent to which these medieval urban centres constituted a driving force in the development of literacy in Nordic societies generally. As in other parts of Europe, two languages - Latin and the vernacular - were in use. However, the Nordic area is also characterised by its use of the runic alphabet, and thus two writing systems were also in use. Another characteristic of the North is its comparatively weak urbanization, especially in Finland, Sweden, and Norway. Literacy and the uses of writing in medieval towns of the North is approached from various angles of research, including history, archaeology, philology, and runology. The contributions cover topics related to urban literacy that include both case studies and general surveys of the dissemination of writing, all from a Northern perspective. The thematic chapters all present new sources and approaches that offer a new dimension both to the study of medieval urban literacy and also to Scandinavian studies.

Memory, Identity, and Governance in Early Modern Poland-Lithuania
, Brepols, 2025 Hardback, Pages: 528, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:17 b/w, 8 col., 5 maps b/w, Language: English. ISBN 9782503619361.
Summary In the early modern period, Poland-Lithuania stood as a realm where the echoes of a storied past intertwined with the ambitions of a dynamic present. This volume illuminates how its diverse populace navigated the complexities of their shared heritage, weaving tradition with innovation to craft a uniquely multi-layered identity. The essays presented here examine the dual nature of historical inheritance in this vast polity. On the one hand, the past served as a treasure trove of enduring ideas, compelling narratives, and time-tested practices that enriched cultural and political life. On the other, it posed formidable challenges, requiring creative adaptation to meet the demands of changing times. By exploring established narratives, performative traditions, and historical frameworks, the contributors uncover the intricate ways in which memory influenced decision-making and societal evolution. They reveal how the past was neither static nor simply an obstacle, but was an active force that shaped contemporary aspirations and inspired visions of the future. Through the lenses of rulers, nobles, intellectuals, and commoners, this collection offers fresh perspectives on how the people of Poland-Lithuania harnessed the power of history to craft a legacy that transcended their era. Essential reading for scholars and enthusiasts alike, this work examines the enduring dialogue between memory and identity in one of Europe's most compelling early modern states.

De praktijk die de Belgische kunstenaar Maarten Vanden Eynde (geboren in 1977) heeft ontwikkeld, stoelt op wetenschappelijk onderzoek en verenigt diverse maatschappelijke, economische, ecologische en antropologische invalshoeken. Zijn oeuvre behandelt enkele van de belangwekkendste thema's van onze tijd, gaande van ongebreidelde bodemontginning en ecologie tot het kolonialisme en zijn nasleep. Het werk is opgevat als een alternatieve encyclopedie van de menselijke geschiedenis, een onderzoek naar onze invloed op Planeet Aarde. Het stelt een (post)industri le archeologie van de toekomst voor, een speculatieve vooruitblik op onze evolutieve sporen, en geeft een overzicht van de werken die Vanden Eynde in de loop van de twee laatste decennia heeft voortgebracht, waaronder Plastic Reef, een massieve sculptuur gemaakt van plastic afval dat de kunstenaar in alle oceanen van de wereld verzamelde. Katerina Gregos is kunsthistorica, tentoonstellingscommissaris en auteur. Aan de hand de werken van de voorbij twintig jaar, stelt dit werk aan de lezers de multidisciplinaire Belgische kunstenaar Maarten Vanden Eynde voor.
Early Antigonids: Coinage, Money, and the Economy
, Brepols, 2020 Hardback, xlv + 390 pages, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:63 b/w, 31 col., Language: English. *new ISBN 9780897223553.
Summary This systematic analysis of the gold and silver coinages of "King Antigonos" is intended to explore the nature of the Antigonid cash economy during the second and the third quarter of the third century BC. The author's principal aim in reconstructing the precious metal coinage of "King Antigonos" is to comprehend the way in which the mints concerned functioned and to identify the major issues of the period. This helps us to answer questions such as, whether or not production was continuous; on which occasions/for which purposes the mints operated; where and why the coins produced circulated and what their value at the time was; finally, whether these issues outlasted their initiator, Antigonos Gonatas. The macroeconomic profile of Antigonid Makedonia during this period is completed by an attempt to quantify and to contextualize these Antigonid silver issues. Explanations other than military for the production of this coinage are explored and the chronology and the role of those silver coins issued posthumously in the name of Alexander that are currently assigned to the early reign of Gonatas are reconsidered. Finally, the geographical distribution of these Antigonid issues is reassessed. TABLE OF CONTENTS 1. Introduction 2.0-5.0 Catalogue and Commentary: Gold and Silver Issues "of king Antigonos" 2.

FROM MEMLING TO RUBENS The Golden Age of Flanders
, Hannibal, 2021 hardcover , 290 x 250 mm, 304 pages, ENG edition. ISBN 9789463887441.
Why did Hans Memling paint everything in such minute detail? How did Rubens, in just a few brushstrokes, create special effects that Steven Spielberg would envy? And why was the Southern Netherlands the artistic centre of the world for three centuries? From Memling to Rubens: The Golden Age of Flanders tells the story of Flemish art from the 15th, 16th and 17th centuries, as you've never read it before. It's a rollercoaster ride through 300 years of cultural history. Leading the charge are breathtaking masterpieces from the collection of The Phoebus Foundation, unknown gems by the likes of Hans Memling, Quinten Metsys, Peter Paul Rubens and Anthony Van Dyck that plunge you into a world full of folly and sin, fascination and ambition. Along the way you'll bump into dukes and emperors, rich citizens and poor saints, picture galleries like wine cellars, and Antwerp as Hollywood on the Scheldt. This is a stirring tale about the image and its meaning, and the link between culture and society. Above all, it's about us, and about who we are today - as people. Dr. Katharina Van Cauteren (b. 1981) heads the Chancellery of The Phoebus Foundation. Katharina is an art historian and has already curated numerous exhibitions from Belgium to India.

een wetenschappelijke publicatiereeks waarin pareltjes uit de collectie in de schijnwerpers worden geplaatst. Hierbij wordt voor elke nieuwe uitgave een beroep gedaan op kunsthistorici die gespecialiseerd zijn in het betreffende thema, en het verhaal op een boeiende en toegankelijke manier kunnen vertellen. Het eerste boekje uit de reeks verscheen naar aanleiding van de eerste focustentoonstelling in de Keizerskapel, waarbij het triptiekje van Sint-Lukas schildert de Madonna getoond werd. De tweede en derde uitgaven volgden snel, waarbij twee schilderijen besproken worden die vandaag te zien zijn in het nieuwe Snijders&Rockoxhuis in Antwerpen: Keukenstilleven met Christus in het huis van Marta en Maria door Frans Ykens (1601-1693) en Allegorie van de zeven vrije kunsten van Maerten de Vos (1532-1603). Het vierde boekje verscheen vervolgens naar aanleiding van VOSSEN. Expeditie door het land van Reynaert, en handelt ? u kon het al raden ? over Reynaert de vos. Recent verscheen ook de vijfde uitgave, waarin het Meermonster van Tagua Tagua besproken wordt. Dit schijnbaar vrolijke en komische schilderij blijkt een brede betekenis te hebben: je zou het een geschiedenisboekje kunnen noemen, samengebald in een merkwaardig beeld...

Phoebus Focus V Het anonieme Het Meermonster van Tagua Tagua uit 1784 geeft, tweehonderdvijftig jaar na datum, als geen ander kunstwerk inzicht in de kracht van het beeld in een krakend tijdsgewricht. Het beest brengt een synthese van driehonderd jaar beeldtraditie. In de kern gaat het terug op middeleeuwse encyclopedie n, maar zijn galante snuit verraadt een achttiende-eeuwse identiteit. Sterker nog: het Meermonster blijkt pure politieke propaganda..

Referentiewerk over de wortels van de Vlaamse culturele geschiedenis, van Emile Claus tot L on Spilliaert OER is een boek over wortels. Over wat het betekent om Vlaming te zijn. Over hoe kunstenaars als Emile Claus, Valerius De Saedeleer, George Minne en Gustave Van de Woestyne al aan het begin van de twintigste eeuw heimwee koesterden naar het Vlaanderen van hun dromen. Ook de werken van James Ensor, Rik Wouters en L on Spilliaert konden nergens anders ter wereld tot stand komen dan hier, in ?le plat pays?. Na de Eerste Wereldoorlog brengen Constant Permeke, Gust. De Smet, Frits Van den Berghe en Edgard Tytgat de kijk van kunstenaars ?van hier? op de wereld ?van hier?. Zo is dit boek een zoektocht naar wat Vlaanderen is, was, of kan zijn. Aan de hand van rijk ge llustreerde essays wekt OER de brede culturele context van de Vlaamse belle poque en het interbellum weer tot leven. Het is een verkenning van de eigen wortels, van wat blijft groeien uit wat ooit was. Dat maakt het verleden springlevend. OER is een boek over toen en nu, over u en mij.
