AKRIS - A Century in Fashion
A century of pioneering design from the great Swiss fashion house, with beautiful photo-essays by Iwan Baan Founded in 1922 by Alice Kriemler-Schoch, the Swiss luxury fashion house Akris started out making polka dot aprons, and--under the directorship of her son Max--grew to produce ready-to-wear clothing in the mid-1940s, in the 1980s, Max's son, Albert Kriemler, took over creative directorship.

Auctioneers Who Made Art History
Procurement analysis, sales planning, customer orientation, brand management—the art market is changing more rapidly than ever before. The price that a work of art commands influences its place in the art-historical canon. Auction houses have become dominant avenues of distribution, as have art fairs, galleries, and art dealers. Even today the ritual dramaturgy of the auction resembles an archaic competition, which can leave participants speechless and captivate bystanders. At the center of the action is the auctioneer, whose performance is increasingly critical to the success of the auction. With portraits of auctioneers, this volume tells the story of the art auction business. Key events that played out in cities such as New York, Paris, Zurich, Berlin, Stuttgart, and Pompeii come alive and show how the auctioneer is emerging from the anonymity of a service provider and stepping into the limelight as the star of the show.

This volume encapsulates the brand's singular aesthetic, with the many artistic references of Albert Kriemler.
