Abstract

Présentation de l'éditeur Le cabinet de curiosités est dans l'aïr du temps. Des expositions récentes, des émissions radiophoniques le citent. L'ouvrage porte sur la réhabilitation de cette locution. Est-elle le signe d'une sortie des avant-gardes artistiques ou la recherche d'un paradis perdu mêlant les arts et les sciences ? Une histoire des collectionnismes de Verrès à Duchamp est dessinée ici pour comprendre l'outil de clarification, de passage d'un ordre à l'autre que représentent ces dispositifs apparemment désuets. http://www.amazon.fr/exec/obidos/ASIN/2747558606

Abstract

Avant les années 1970, les bâtiments étaient généralement considérés comme l’objectif de la pratique architecturale; les dessins architecturaux étaient considérés simplement comme un moyen d'atteindre ce but. Mais, de même que les frontières de l’architecture elle-même se déplaçaient à la fin du XXe siècle, la perception des dessins d’architecture évoluait également; ils ont commencé à être considérés comme des objets autonomes en dehors du processus de construction. Jordan Kauffman, dans Drawing on Architecture, explique comment les dessins architecturaux, promus par un réseau de galeries et de collectionneurs, d'expositions et d'événements, sont devenus des objets d'esthétique et ont finalement acquis le statut d'importants artefacts culturels et historiques Prior to the 1970s, buildings were commonly understood to be the goal of architectural practice; architectural drawings were seen simply as a means to an end. But, just as the boundaries of architecture itself were shifting at the end of the twentieth century, the perception of architectural drawings was also shifting; they began to be seen as autonomous objects outside the process of building. In Drawing on Architecture, Jordan Kauffman offers an account of how architectural drawings--promoted by a network of galleries and collectors, exhibitions and events--emerged as aesthetic objects and ultimately attained status as important cultural and historical artifacts, and how this was both emblematic of changes in architecture and a catalyst for these changes. Kauffman traces moments of critical importance to the evolution of the perception of architectural drawings, beginning with exhibitions that featured architectural drawings displayed in ways that did not elucidate buildings but treated them as meaningful objects in their own right. When architectural drawings were seen as having intrinsic value, they became collectible, and Kauffman chronicles early collectors, galleries, and sales. He discusses three key exhibitions at the Leo Castelli Gallery in New York; other galleries around the world that specialized in architectural drawings; the founding of architecture museums that understood and collected drawings as important cultural and historical artifacts; and the effect of the new significance of architectural drawings on architecture and architectural history. Drawing on interviews with more than forty people directly involved with the events described and on extensive archival research, Kauffman shows how architectural drawings became the driving force in architectural debate in an era of change.

Abstract

La jaquette indique : "Des accumulations des tombeaux égyptiens ou chinois et des trésors royaux jusqu'à notre Louvre aujourd'hui, entre autres lieux, il faudra du temps pour que le musée trouve sa forme et sa fonction de conservation, d'étude et d'exposition des objets. Or, une histoire mondiale des musées, à la fois politique, sociale et culturelle, n'a encore jamais été écrite. La voici : Le Musée, une histoire mondiale, en trois volumes qui paraîtront sur deux ans. Le premier volume de cette monumentale entreprise, Du trésor au musée, part d'un passé lointain pour arriver à la création de l'institution appelée « musée » inventée en Italie à la fin du XVe siècle, gagnant toute l'Europe au XVIIIe siècle. Une histoire faite de dons et de marchandises, de vols et de pillages, de guerres et de diplomatie. Et aussi d'architecture, de manières de contempler et de manier les objets, de problèmes juridiques et d'organisation. Une histoire d'art, et aussi de commerce, de savoirs et de techniques. Le second volume traitera de L'ancrage européen des musées, de la Révolution française aux années 1850, et le troisième, du musée À la conquête du monde, de la Révolution industrielle à nos jours."

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

Based on Guilliam Forchondt’s surviving business documentation in Antwerp and applying an aggregate and data-driven approach, Connecting Art Markets focuses on the role of art dealers in mediating the supply and demand for art, behaving in particular ways as to influence the markets for artworks in which they were strategically invested. Van Ginhoven presents her findings on Guilliam Forchondt’s workshop production volumes and transatlantic art trade flows, and evaluates the relationship between the production of paintings in the Southern Netherlands, their local, regional and overseas distribution channels, and the markets for these works in Europe and the Americas during the seventeenth century.

Abstract

Drawing on case studies from the thirteenth to the twentieth centuries, covering Europe and beyond, Collectors’ Knowledge: What is Kept, What is Discarded investigates how knowledge was acquired, organized and sometimes lost. It examines collections of texts and objects—libraries, textbooks, miscellanies, commonplace books, data collections pertaining to historical events, encyclopedias, royal and ducal treasures, curiosity cabinets, galleries and museums—to uncover the processes of accumulation, organization, selection and rejection that have shaped learning. The essays emphasize the complex relationship between the intentions of collectors and the limitations they encountered—issues of format, presentation, display and storage—as well as outside forces that disrupted their aims, including pillage and natural disasters. Contributors include: Stephen Bann, Laurence Brockliss, François de Capitani, Livia Cárdenas, Steven Conn, Anja-Silvia Goeing, Anthony T. Grafton, Janet Grau, Jürgen Leonhardt, Ulrich Marzolph, Paul Michel, Jürgen Oelkers, Wilhelm Schmidt-Biggemann, Nicola Schneider, Gerald Schwedler, Iolanda Ventura, Monika Wicki, and Marc Winter. Achtzehn europäische und aussereuropäische Fallstudien vom dreizehnten bis zwanzigsten Jahrhundert fragen in “Collectors’ Knowledge: What Is Kept, What Is Discarded – Aufbewahren oder wegwerfen – wie Sammler entscheiden”, wie Wissen erworben und organisiert wurde und weshalb es verloren ging. Die Autoren untersuchen Sammlungen von Texten und Objekten – Bibliotheken, Lehrbücher, Sammelbände, Datensammlungen im Zusammenhang mit historischen Ereignissen, Enzyklopädien, herrschaftliche Schätze, Wunderkammern und Museen. Ihr Ziel ist es, Prozesse der Akkumulation, Organisation, Auswahl und Ablehnung aufzudecken, die unser Wissen über die Epochen geprägt haben. Die Aufsätze unterstreichen die komplexen Beziehungen zwischen den Absichten der Sammler und den Zwängen, mit denen sie konfrontiert waren – in Fragen des Formates, der Präsentation oder Speicherung –, sowie den Kräften, die Verluste bewirkten, beispielsweise Plünderung oder ideengeschichtliche Umwälzungen.
