An elegant manifesto for Rose Tarlow’s approach of blending the personal with the aesthetic to create timeless, beautiful spaces.One of the most influential designers working in America, Rose Tarlow’s signature approach is as much an emotional matter as it is one of color, light, fabric, and furniture. This essential book encourages readers to decorate with elegance and personal style through simple principles of creative design that are appropriate to any home. Finely designed in a modest size, the book is powerful in its intimacy, offering insights into the mind of a master designer—as well as a glimpse into some of the extraordinary homes she has created.Long out of print, the book is republished in its entirety from the original edition of 2001—with photography from Oberto Gili, Derry Moore, and Tim Street-Porter, among others—and updated with new images and a new afterword by the author. The Private House is a classic of modern interior design and an inspiration to creative homeowners.

Felice Rix-Ueno studierte bei Josef Hoffmann, einem Mitbegründer der Wiener Werkstätte (1903-1932). Inspiriert von der japanischen Formensprache bildete sie einen eigenen Stil aus, der sich in besonders fantasievollen Stoff- und Tapetenmustern, Mode- und Wohnaccessoires sowie Wandmalereien ausdrückte. Nach ihrer Heirat mit dem japanischen Architekten Isaburo Ueno übersiedelte sie 1926 nach Japan. Hier entstanden gemeinsame Arbeiten, die viel Beachtung fanden, wie etwa die Star Bar in Kyoto, die 1932 in der berühmten Ausstellung Modern Architecture im New Yorker MoMa gezeigt wurde. Felice Rix-Ueno, die schon in der erfolgreichen MAK Ausstellung Die Frauen der Wiener Werkstätte prominent vertreten war, wird mit diesem Katalog erstmals außerhalb Japans eine substanzielle monographische Aufarbeitung zuteil.

In the artist's book My Last Will, 32 international artists respond to the question "What remains?" They deal with their legacy and try to get to the core of what constitutes their artistic or personal interest. In doing so, they sound out their presumed significance for a future whose standards of value are still entirely unknown. This anthology brings together all the text, collage and image contributions of the participating artists. It is in Japanese binding, so that the reader has to cut open the pages to get to their contents. The artist's book was conceived by M+M and is published in the context of the exhibition "Mein letzter Wille" / "My Last Will" at the Kunstsammlungen Chemnitz (2023) and at the Casino Luxembourg (2024).Text: Lara Almarcegui, Carlos Amorales, Ivàn Argote, Mire Lee, Erik van Lieshout, Christodoulos Panayiotou, Cesare Pietroiusti, Agnieszka Polska, PPKK (Schönfeld & Scoufaras), L.A.

It covers all the rulers' robes on display, including complete costume ensembles, suits with doublet and trousers, ladies' dresses, and individual garments. There are also introductions to the many portraits, accessories and sumptuous armoury on display.

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.
