Abstract

Etude récemment révisée et élargie de la société de design finlandaise de renommée mondiale ArtekBest, connue pour la production des célèbres meubles en bois courbé d'Aalto. Artek était une société de design aux multiples facettes qui a créé de nombreux produits innovants. Ce livre abondamment illustré est basé sur une gamme extraordinaire de documents d'archives récemment découverts qui jettent un nouvel éclairage sur l'histoire d'Artek. Il examine les relations de travail étroites entre Alvar Aalto et Aino Marsio-Aalto, et les rôles essentiels qu'ils ont joués dans sa création et son développement à l'échelle internationale. Réédité en couverture rigide et avec une taille de coupe agrandie, une plus grande importance est accordée aux plus de 500 dessins et photographies, y compris une sélection inédite. L'ajout d'une chronologie qui retrace l'histoire parallèle d'Artek et du bureau Aalto offre une compréhension inédite des nombreux projets qu'ils ont créés ensemble. Le texte original a reçu le prix Philip Johnson 2018 du catalogue d'exposition exceptionnel de la Society of Architectural Historians.

Abstract

In 2007 Irma Boom’s book Sheila Hicks: Weaving as Metaphor was named ‘Most Beautiful Book in the World’ at the Leipzig book fair. This book became a bestseller, collector’s item and exposed the textile designer to new audiences around the world. People who were never interested in textile design or Sheila Hicks’s works wanted to own this beautiful object. The success of the book caused the Museum of Modern Art in New York to include Irma Boom’s books as part of their permanent collection.

Abstract

"The first comprehensive study of one of the most significant innovations in nineteenth-century ceramics, this three-volume exhibition catalogue considers the principal designers and manufacturers of majolica, the ware's broad dissemination, and its ultimate decline within the social and cultural contexts of the Victorian era. 1008 pages; 1200 illustrations."-- Colorful, wildly imaginative, and technically innovative, majolica was functional and aesthetic ceramic ware. Its subject matter reflects a range of 19th-century preoccupations, from botany and zoology to popular humor and the macabre. Majolica Mania examines the medium’s considerable impact, from wares used in domestic settings to monumental pieces at the World’s Fairs. Essays by international experts address the extensive output of the originators and manufacturers in England—including Minton, Wedgwood, and George Jones—and the migration of English craftsmen to the U.S. New research including information on important American makers in New York, Baltimore, and Philadelphia is also featured. Fully illustrated, the book is enlivened by new photography of pieces from major museums and private collections in the U.S. and Great Britain
