Keramik og glaskunst (kunstværker)

The essays in this lavishly illustrated volume offer a multifaceted portrait of American financier J. Pierpont Morgan (1837-1913) as a collector of art. A riveting exploration of Morgan's acquisitions from antiquities to medieval manuscripts to Old Master paintings and European decorative arts, "Morgan-The Collector" introduces the reader to how and why he amassed his vast collection. The lively essays also serve as a tribute to Linda Roth, curator at Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art, Hartford, CT, who dedicated much of her forty-year career to researching Morgan and the over 1,500 works from his collection now in the museum. This much-needed publication focuses on Morgan as a collector and is directed at both a scholarly and more general audience that is interested in the history of collecting, America in the Gilded Age, Pierpont Morgan, and European art.

This novel belongs to the A Capella Sea Trilogy. It is a sci-fi story about a post-nuclear rise of the human world.

A beautifully illustrated guide to the diverse traditions of stained glass art throughout history. The Illuminated Window is a unique journey through stained-glass installations across history. From the twelfth to the twenty-first centuries, we find in windows stories of conflict, commemoration, devotion, and celebration. Virginia Chieffo Raguin is our guide through the cathedrals of Chartres, Canterbury, and Cologne as well as Paris's Sainte-Chapelle, Swiss guildhalls, Iran's Pink Mosque, Harvard Memorial Hall, Tiffany's chapel for the World Exposition, Frank Lloyd Wright's houses, and more. In her telling, stained glass relies on more than a single maker but on the relationship between the physical site, the patron's aims, the work's legibility for the spectator, and the prevailing style of the era. This is a fascinating and beautifully illustrated volume for anyone interested in stained-glass works.

Eine Leseprobe finden Sie unter "https://verlag.sandstein.de/reader/98-722-Zwiebelmuster-engl"The Blue Onion Pattern is almost as old as the European invention of porcelain itself! But what is so special about it? Why has it fascinated us for three hundred years? What role did the Onion Pattern play in 18th century Chinese export porcelain in underglaze blue and famille rose? The history of the Blue Onion Pattern is intertwined with the history of blue-and-white porcelain painting itself. Anja Hell sheds light on the beginnings of Meissen underglaze blue painting until the year 1739, and later covers the range from the 19th century to the present. She examines the artistic development of blue-and-white painting and the associated economic implications for the Meissen Manufactory.Lutz Miedtank cogently presents the results of his many years of research on the early period of the Blue Onion Pattern. Inspired by Chinese export porcelain and underglaze blue decorated faience, Meissen's blue painters created their own Meissen Blue Onion Pattern on hard paste porcelain around 1730. Hitherto unpublished Chinese export and early Meissen porcelain with "Blue Onion" designs including several over-decorations that were re-dated using XRF data, as well as numerous imitations of the pattern on 18th century European porcelain and faience are shown. They provide important evidence for new and surprising insights into the genesis of the Meissen Blue Onion Pattern.This English edition is based on the revised 2023 German edition of Von China nach Meissen. 300 Jahre Zwiebelmuster published in open access. It features an Introduction by Prof. Dr. Ulrich Pietsch, Director emeritus of the Dresden Porcelain Collection. A large number of previously unpublished porcelain objects, copious comments and annotations, and a comprehensive list of primary sources render this book an indispensable reference work for collectors, art dealers, historians, and friends of the Blue Onion Pattern.

Earth and fire represent the two elements that produce a ceramic object. Without the other they are simply components; together they create both practical objects and pieces of art. Told through the practices and studios of over forty-five working ceramicists, Earth & Fire explores the techniques, processes and tools these artists use to turn clay into ceramics. They work in a wide range of styles and mediums to create their pieces: everything from woodfired and fine porcelain wares, sculptured vases and everyday cups, bowls and plates, to exquisite jewellery and wall pieces. Written and compiled by Kylie Johnson and Tiffany Johnson, authors of Utsuwa: Japanese objects for everyday use, this book captures the diverse beauty and utility of ceramics, demonstrating that clay doesn't just get under your fingernails; it gets under your skin.

This publication is devoted to an extensive description of the pneumopteria which are also referred to as cloud whales or cloud sponges, and occasionally, in scientific language, as pneumospongia. Often, in older treatises, they have been termed celestial leviathans. These gigantic, cloud-like creatures, which seemed to float in the air without movement or stimulation, could reach several hundred meters in size. In all likelihood, they are extinct today. The species was, however, frequently observed in historical times and has been described by numerous cultures and in many different contexts.With his research findings, Roland Boden provides the first thorough introduction to the nature, appearance, and behavior of the pneumopteria and surveys the history of their exploration and description. In his treatise, defined as fictional research, Boden uses quotations, photographs, reproductions, reconstructive drawings, and computer-generated images, combining real scientific and historical facts with completely fictitious elements to create a parallel reality that cleverly and artistically questions contemporary perceptual processes.

A celebration of multicultural collaboration through contemporary ceramics and exquisite ikebana arrangementsAdam Silverman creates ambitious ceramic work with site-specific materials that engage their places of origin. Similar to a chef cooking with local ingredients, his works are infused with the history, culture, issues and spirit of a place. In the fall of 2019, before the coronavirus pandemic swept the globe, Silverman began a project to address the political and cultural divisions in America. Silverman collected materials (clay, wood ash and water) from every state and inhabited US territory and combined them into a single, new, fully integrated material. This material was then used to create 56 ceremonial vessels that celebrate the nation's diversity and the idea of radical inclusivity. A series of 56 Ikebana arrangements made by teachers and students at Sogetsu Ikebana Los Angeles are placed in Silverman's vessels, creating a powerful pairing of American materials and symbols with Japanese traditions.Adam Silverman (born 1963) is a Los Angeles-based artist known for his experimental processes and resulting sculptural vessels. He is regarded as one of the most dynamic practitioners dedicated to ceramics today. Silverman received bachelor degrees in both fine art and architecture from the Rhode Island School of Design.

Gestalterinnen hatten einen entscheidenden Anteil an der Entwicklung der Moderne im Wien der Zwischenkriegszeit. Die Publikation präsentiert neue Forschungen zu Designerinnen, Keramikerinnen, Modeschöpferinnen, Grafikerinnen, Gartenarchitektinnen, Fotografinnen, Kunsthistorikerinnen und Mäzeninnen. An ihrem Beispiel wird gezeigt, wie angestammte Rollenbilder in der Zwischenkriegszeit aufgebrochen wurden und welch eminente Bedeutung diese Frauen für die Wiener Moderne hatten. Sie setzten sich mit bestehenden Vorurteilen auseinander und schufen neue visuelle Sprachen, um erfolgreich Karriere zu machen. Gleichzeitig trugen sie zu einem kritischen Diskurs über die Emanzipation der Frau bei. Zu den Gestalterinnen der Wiener Moderne gehörten u.a. Emilie Flöge, Mathilde Flögl, Jacqueline Groag, Fanny Harlfinger-Zakucka, Yella Hertzka, Else Hofmann, Hilda Jesser, Maria Likarz, Madame d'Ora, Pauline Metternich-Sándor, Bertha Pappenheim, Marie Reidemeister-Neurath, Lisl Weil, Vally Wieselthier, Helene Wolf und Berta Zuckerkandl

The most comprehensive monograph available on the greatest living glassblower, Lino Tagliapietra. Lino Tagliapietra has been described as the world's greatest glassblower, a figure born from the five-hundred-year-old culture of Venetian glass, but one who also revolutionized glass as a discipline, inventing new techniques to create his masterful works. Even more astonishing, as Tagliapietra hit his full stride, he has become a notable figure in the unfolding story of modern sculpture - an artist whose distinctive works are coveted by collectors of contemporary abstract art and whose vision makes us think about art history in new and profound ways. This is the most comprehensive monograph available on his work and features insightful texts by Glenn Adamson and Henry Adams, as well as hundreds of new photographs, which showcase the impressive breadth and depth of Taglipietra's repertoire.
