The Thyssen - Bornemisza Collection is one of the most important private collections of western art, comprising 780 works from the Middle Ages through to the 1970s. Opened in Madrid in 1992, this extraordinary museum provides an encyclopaedic overview of eight centuries of western painting.
This is a thought-provoking exploration of the masterpieces of sculpture, drawing and decoration of the last Ice Age. Produced between 40,000 and 10,000 years ago, this is some of the oldest known figurative art in the world. Looking at these artworks provides a fascinating insight into the earliest modern minds and their capacity to express ideas symbolically through art.
Over 100 objects are featured, including small but exquisite sculptures made from mammoth ivory, engraved drawings, ceramic models, decorated objects and jewellery from the age of the great painted caves. Some are celebrated masterpieces such as the Swimming Reindeer (13,000 years old), the so-called Willendorf Venus (25,000 years old), the Vogelherd Horse (32,000 years old) and the Lion Man (32,000 years old); others are lesser- known treasures from the collections of European museums. The author examines them in a new light, as works of aesthetic – not solely archaeological – interest, and as such forming part of an unbroken continuum of human creativity.
The compelling narrative is also illustrated with a wealth of images, from classical sculpture to twentieth-century painting and even contemporary advertising campaigns, which demonstrate surprising aesthetic parallels between these ancient works and familiar modern pieces.
In this way, Ice Age art will bring home the point that the minds that created these objects in all their diversity and inventiveness were modern minds like our own, capable of highly sophisticated thought and expression.
The Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna is home to one of the world's most important collections of early Netherlandish painting. The origin of those rich holdings can be traced back to 1477, when the Burgundian Netherlands became a Habsburg possession on Mary of Burgundy's marriage to Archduke Maximilian of Austria.
Imperial Treasures. Masterpieces from the Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna is the fruit of the outstanding exhibition of the same name at the Groeningemuseum in Bruges. The book is devoted to a unique selection of fifteenth and sixteenth-century masterpieces from the Low Countries in the museum's collection. In a series of essays by leading scholars, it explores the history of the collection and the emergence of the various pictorial genres. The exceptionally early development of history, portrait, landscape and genre painting in the Low Countries laid the foundations for the unprecedented flowering of both Flemish and Dutch painting in the seventeenth century.
A narrative chronology of the dealers, artists and spaces that have defined modern art – lavishly illustrated throughout with photographs of artists, dealers and art world personalities.
Art galleries are enormously influential in the aesthetic discourse of the modern age. They have launched the careers of the era’s most important artists, and breathed life into some of its most important artistic movements.
International Art Galleries is the first book to examine the modern gallery phenomenon, offering more than seventy-five portraits of art galleries from around the world, all of whom have represented the finest artists of the last sixty years, and all of whom have had a key role in defining the artistic zeitgeist.
Organized decade-by-decade, each chapter is introduced by a brief historical sketch that summarizes the social background of the decade in question. The galleries are introduced by a brief factual section that details their date of foundation, proprietor, addresses and artists represented, followed by a lively illustrated essay.
This book rewrites the history of jewellery in the age of Victoria. The ‘age of Victoria’ is taken in its widest sense to encompass jewellery made throughout Europe and America, displayed at the great international exhibitions and distributed through foreign trade, illustrated publications and a burgeoning tourist industry. Throughout, links with other disciplines will provide both the specialist and the non- specialist with the information to understand how jewellery permeated all walks and conditions of life in the 19th century.
The focus of the book is on the attitudes of owners to their jewellery and the symbolic weight that it was expected to carry. Rather than concentrating on the major figures at the top end of the jewellery trade, it is oriented towards the social aspects of owning, wearing and displaying jewellery. For example, novelists used jewellery to add a moral or metaphorical dimension to a character, while jewels depicted in portraits often carried multiple messages which could be immediately decoded by the viewer. The achievements of science, the fascination with nature and the Victorian sense of humour are all embodied in jewellery. Topics discussed in depth include the importance of jewellery in the life of the Queen herself, jewellery and dress, the language of jewellery, the cult of novelty, the importance of nationalism in the revival of historical styles, and the contribution of archaeological discoveries. The volume is sumptuously illustrated with contemporary reportage, photographs and portraits as well as examples of jewellery from the British Museum and other collections.
This opulent volume features large-format plates of an impressive selection of masterpieces from the Kunsthaus Zurich: fascinating paintings from the late Gothic period, the Golden Age of the Netherlands, the Italian Baroque, and the Venetian Settecento. Icons of Swiss art, including Fuseli, Böcklin, Hodler, Segantini, Vallotton, and Giacometti are among the highlights of the collections. First-class works by leading painters draw the viewer into the colorful world of Impressionism and Post-Impressionism, at whose center stands a group of works by Monet. Besides pieces by Munch, there are important works by Kokoschka, Beckmann, and Corinth. Last but not least, this splendid book presents an excellent array of early 20th-century works by Picasso, Matisse, and Chagall, as well as American post-war art, Pop art, and other works up to the present time: Twombly, Beuys, Bacon, Baselitz, and Fischli/Weiss set the tone here.
This fascinating book presents the universal theme of love as seen in artworks from many different ages and cultures. The Louvre's diverse collection ranges from classical examples such as Nicostratos' c. 150-100 BCE sculpture Couple on their Wedding Night to more modern works such as Fragonard's eighteenth-century painting The Lock. An array of different scenes in the gathered works present the many faces of love, from the first seeds of romance to sensual, passionate intrigues. Each painting or sculpture is shown in its entirety and in detail, focusing on the elements pertaining to the theme of love. All are accompanied by a short, illuminating commentary and are introduced by a preface in which the specialist author Jean Claude Bologne draws upon his personal reflections on the works. Those discovering the works for the first time will find much to appreciate, art lovers will see great works in a different light, and the romantically-inclined will be enchanted.
For Madrid the Prado is without a doubt what the Louvre is for Paris and the Uffizi for Florence. A guidebook to this museum with a knowledgeable commentary is therefore essential for really getting to know Madrid. However this richly illustrated book not only portrays the dynamic relationship of the city and its art, it also relates a long and chequered history - from its beginnings and its charms as a residence, to the Civil War and modern times - expressed in countless churches, buildings, and squares. With this authoritative and visually striking book, simply browsing through its pages becomes a pleasant, culturally informed stroll through Madrid's streets.

This richly illustrated overview provides the perfect means to understand and enjoy the art of our time.

The thoughtful selection of works that follows highlights the collection’s peerless range of styles and ideas.
Legendary favourites, such as van Gogh’s 'The Starry Night', Picasso’s 'Girl before a Mirror' and Andy Warhol’s 'Gold Marilyn Monroe', sit alongside lesser-known masterworks such as Horace Pippin’s 'Abe Lincoln, The Great Emancipator' and Niki de Saint Phalle’s 'Shooting Painting American Embassy'. Contemporary landmarks, such as Gerhard Richter’s 'October 18, 1977' and Kara Walker’s 'Gone: A Historical Romance of a Civil War as It Occurred b’tween the Dusky Thighs of One Young Negress and Her Heart' demonstrate the outstanding contributions of more recent art.

Эта книга об искусстве, которое долго не признавалось в нашей стране и о котором почти ничего не было известно широкой публике: лишь знатоки-искусствоведы знали его истинную ценность.
Современное западное искусство едва просматривалось за железным занавесом СССР. Когда Энди Уорхол иронизировал над обществом изобилия, в Советском Союзе царил тотальный дефицит. Жестянка с томатным супом "Campbell" в США была символом дешевизны, массовости, доступности, удобства... А жестянка со сгущенным молоком в СССР символизировала лакомство, удачу, беззаботную жизнь...
Американская идея - возведение обыденных предметов в ранг предметов искусства - для советского человека была чуждой: обыденные предметы имели собственную, жизненно необходимую смысловую ценность. Причем здесь искусство? Сама эта мысль показалась бы абсурдной. Мир западный и мир, в котором жил советский человек, существовали параллельно, но совершенно отдельно друг от друга много десятилетий.
Современность уравняла обе жестянки в своей ценности. Нынче и у нас сгущенка - дешевый, массовый, доступный продукт, над которым не грех иронизировать.
Теперь параллельно существовавшие миры пересеклись!
Авторы книги стремились дать общее представление об уникальном собрании нью-йоркского Музея современного искусства, насчитывающем сейчас более 100 000 произведений искусства. Основание Музея в 1929 г. позволило продемонстрировать широкой публике лучшие произведения современного искусства и стало событием в культурной жизни США. С огромным энтузиазмом сотрудники Музея пополняли и совершенствовали его коллекцию, так что сегодня музей обладает лучшим в мире собранием такого рода. По счастливому совпадению публикация альбома совпала с празднованием 75-летия Музея. В ожидании этого события Музей расширил и обновил свое помещение: новое здание стоимостью 425 миллионов долларов, сооруженное по проекту одного из самых передовых японских архитекторов Йосио Танигучи, - это практически новый музей.
As a carrier of human cultural information, the museum is a global cultural facility, which evolves into new functions and forms during the endless social development and gradually develops into a multi-functional cultural complex.
