Abstract

Ein wichtiger Teil der historisch gewachsenen Kunstsammlung Dubs-Huwyler ist eine rund 100 Stück umfassende Kollektion von Glasgemälden. Sie wird in einem herrschaftlichen Gebäude im schwyzerischen Steinen aufbewahrt und gehört zweifellos zu den bedeutendsten und umfangreichsten privaten Glasgemäldesammlungen in der Schweiz. Schwerpunkte bilden die Innerschweizer, die Zürcher sowie die Ost- und Nordostschweizer Glasmalkunst vom frühen 16. bis in die erste Hälfte des 18. Jahrhunderts. Weitere künstlerische Höhepunkte sind eine Gruppe von frühneuzeitlichen niederländischen Glasgemälden insbesondere mit Vogel- und Insektendarstellungen. Den jüngsten Sammlungsschwerpunkt bilden mehrheitlich schweizerische Kopien und Neuschöpfungen von der zweiten Hälfte des 19. bis ins 20. Jahrhundert. One important part of the Dubs-Huwyler art collection, which has grown over time, comprises around 100 works of stained glass. These are kept in a magnificent building in Steinen in the canton of Schwyz, and undoubtedly form one of the most important as well as extensive private collections of stained glass in Switzerland. The focus is on glass from central Switzerland, Zurich, and eastern and north-eastern Switzerland from the early 16th to the first half of the 18th century. Other artistic highlights include a group of early modern Dutch paintings on glass, depicting birds and insects in particular. The collection’s most recent focus is on Swiss copies and new designs from the second half of the 19th to the 20th century.

Abstract

A piece of Plymouth Rock. A lock of George Washington's hair. Wood from the cabin where Abraham Lincoln was born. Various bits and pieces of the past-often called "association items"-may appear to be eccentric odds and ends, but they are valued because of their connections to prominent people and events in American history. Kept in museum collections large and small across the United States, such objects are the touchstones of our popular engagement with history. In Sacred Relics, Teresa Barnett explores the history of private collections of items like these, illuminating how Americans view the past. She traces the relic-collecting tradition back to eighteenth-century England, then on to articles belonging to the founding fathers and through the mass collecting of artifacts that followed the Civil War. Ultimately, Barnett shows how we can trace our own historical collecting from the nineteenth century's assemblages of the material possessions of great men and women.

Abstract

En 1909, le banquier et mécène néerlandais David van Buuren (1886-1955) s'installe à Bruxelles. Sa carrière dans le monde de la finance suit un cours parallèle à celui des grandes évolutions politiques, économiques et culturelles du xxe siècle. En 1922, il épouse une Belge, Alice Piette (1890-1973) : c'est le début de trente années de bonheur au cours desquelles la villa Art Déco du couple, avenue Errera à Bruxelles, va peu à peu atteindre sa destinée culturelle. Mécène, David van Buuren soutient les arts sans compter. Après son décès, Alice poursuit son ouvre et, en 1970, elle lègue la maison, les ouvres d'art et les jardins à une fondation. Cette fondation deviendra le Musée van Buuren, concrétisation d'un vieux rêve des occupants des lieux. La villa, construite dans le style de l'École d'Amsterdam, est un musée vivant. Mobilier rare, tapis, vitraux, sculptures et tableaux de maîtres s'y trouvent encore aujourd'hui à leur emplacement d'origine, dans l'intimité d'une demeure pleine de souvenirs.L'impressionnante collection de tableaux du Musée van Buuren couvre cinq siècles d'histoire de la peinture, avec entre autres des ouvres d'anciens maîtres flamands et italiens, des deux fils de P. Bruegel, de l'École de Rembrandt, de Guardi, Fantin-Latour, Ensor, Van Gogh, Signac, Van Dongen, Foujita, Ernst, Permeke, Wouters et Desmet. David van Buuren était l'unique mécène de Gustave van de Woestijne, dont le musée possède toujours 32 tableaux. Le jardin est un régal pour les yeux. La propriété s'étend aujourd'hui sur 1,5 hectare. Avec des endroits tels que la pittoresque roseraie ou le Jardin du cour, cette oasis de verdure au cour de Bruxelles offre une grande unité de style avec la maison.

Abstract

"Featuring a selection of women artists active between 1890 to 1924, this book investigates divergent responses to the dramatic historical events and structural transformations during the early twentieth century. It reveals their efforts, with greater or relative success, to negotiate the competitive market economy of the late Wilhelmine empire and the uncertainties of the early Weimar Republic. In examining these artists, Shulamith Behr uncovers the overlooked importance of women's emancipative ideals to the development of avant-garde culture. Behr explores the richness of the women's engagement with and shaping of Expressionism, the modern art movement noted for its intention to express the emotional-rather than physical-reality of the artist. Behr examines the posthumous critical reception of Paula Modersohn-Becker as a prime agent of the feminization of the movement; Käthe Kollwitz's use of printmaking as a vehicle for technical innovation and socio-political commentary; and the dynamic relationship between Marianne Werefkin and Gabriele Münter, including their different national and cultural origins and paths towards Expressionism in the Blaue Reiter, a group of artists that included Wassily Kandinsky and Paul Klee. Additional chapters examine the role of Herwarth Walden's and Nell Walden's role as art dealers who promoted women Expressionists during the First World War, Münter's encounter with Swedish Expressionism in Scandinavia, and the recognition of Dutch-born abstractionist Jacoba van Heemskerck as an honorary German Expressionist"--

Abstract

The international controversy over who "owns" antiquities has pitted museums against archaeologists and source countries where ancient artifacts are found. In his book Who Owns Antiquity?, James Cuno argued that antiquities are the cultural property of humankind, not of the countries that lay exclusive claim to them. Now in Whose Culture?, Cuno assembles preeminent museum directors, curators, and scholars to explain for themselves what's at stake in this struggle--and why the museums' critics couldn't be more wrong. Source countries and archaeologists favor tough cultural property laws restricting the export of antiquities, have fought for the return of artifacts from museums worldwide, and claim the acquisition of undocumented antiquities encourages looting of archaeological sites. In Whose Culture?, leading figures from universities and museums in the United States and Britain argue that modern nation-states have at best a dubious connection with the ancient cultures they claim to represent, and that archaeology has been misused by nationalistic identity politics. They explain why exhibition is essential to responsible acquisitions, why our shared art heritage trumps nationalist agendas, why restrictive cultural property laws put antiquities at risk from unstable governments--and more. Defending the principles of art as the legacy of all humankind and museums as instruments of inquiry and tolerance, Whose Culture? brings reasoned argument to an issue that for too long has been distorted by politics and emotionalism. In addition to the editor, the contributors are Kwame Anthony Appiah, Sir John Boardman, Michael F. Brown, Derek Gillman, Neil MacGregor, John Henry Merryman, Philippe de Montebello, David I. Owen, and James C. Y. Watt.
