Abstract

The Journal of the History of Collections is dedicated to providing the clearest insight into all aspects of collecting activity. For centuries collecting has been the pursuit of princes and apothecaries, scholars and amateurs alike. Only recently, however, has the study of collections and their collectors become the subject of great multidisciplinary interest. The range of the Journal of the History of Collections embraces the contents of collections, the processes which initiated their formation, and the circumstances of the collectors themselves. As well as publishing original papers, the Journal includes listings of forthcoming events, conferences, and reviews of relevant publications and exhibitions, making it the most comprehensive source available on a subject of increasing interest and study.

Abstract

Das Buch knüpft direkt an die 2017 publizierte Studie zu österreichischen Kirchenmöbeln an. Während für den ersten Band Ausstattungsstücke aus dem Osten Österreichs bearbeitet wurden, präsentiert der zweite Möbelensembles aus den anderen Landesteilen. Neben einem umfassenden Katalog mit genauen Beschreibungen und einer Vielzahl von Abbildungen beinhaltet das neue Buch einleitende Kapitel zu Planungsabläufen und handwerklichen Prozessen, zur Zusammenarbeit von Tischlern mit anderen Gewerken und zur Einbindung des sakralen Mobiliars in die räumliche Umgebung. Da die Recherche nicht nur Fragen der Stilkritik nachgeht, sondern auch Gebiete der Wirtschafts- und Sozialgeschichte streift, reicht sie über eine rein deskriptive Analyse des überlieferten Bestandes weit hinaus. Die beiden Bände tragen daher wesentlich dazu bei, unsere bisherigen Vorstellungen von Tischlern, ihren Werkstätten und Arbeiten im Zeitalter des Ancien Régime zu präzisieren.

Abstract

Anna Grasskamp investigates display practices of the sixteenth and seventeenth century in China and Europe. The book provides an in-depth analysis of the processes through which foreign artifacts and natural objects were framed in early modern collections. Material exchanges between China and Europe have a long history in which complex culturally defined processes of object appropriation play a role. Anna Grasskamp investigates display practices of the sixteenth and seventeenth century in China and Europe providing an in-depth analysis of the processes through which foreign artifacts and natural objects were framed in early modern collections. While the first two chapters focus on the appropriation of artifacts through the examples of porcelain vessels and scientific instruments in metal mounts, the books later chapters analyze the staging of foreign nature in Renaissance and Ming collecting through the case of coral.
