Art and Curiosity Cabinets of the Late Renaissance
For the first time, the pioneering book that launched the study of art and curiosity cabinets is available in English. Julius von Schlosser’s Die Kunst- und Wunderkammern der Spätrenaissance (Art and Curiosity Cabinets of the Late Renaissance) is a seminal work in the history of art and collecting. Originally published in German in 1908, it was the first study to interpret sixteenth- and seventeenth-century cabinets of wonder as precursors to the modern museum, situating them within a history of collecting going back to Greco-Roman antiquity. In its comparative approach and broad geographical scope, Schlosser’s book introduced an interdisciplinary and global perspective to the study of ...
There Is No Evil Angel But Love
A celebrated comic book author suffers a mysterious death. His widow, Lilli Kuck, spontaneously travels to the site of his accident in Venice and traces entries in her husband's notebook, following his routes and trying to meet with people he encountered during his final days. Her sleuthing uncovers several of her late-husband's secrets, forcing Lilli to question how well she had really known her life's companion. She also witnesses the killing of a policeman and herself becomes a target for murder. In the end, her journey to Venice becomes a journey to herself, confronting the very riddles of life itself. Author Gerhard Roth was born in Graz in 1942, the son of a medical doctor and a nurse....
Ephemeral Bodies
The material history of wax is a history of disappearance--wax melts, liquefies, evaporates, and undergoes innumerable mutations. Wax is tactile, ambiguous, and mesmerizing, confounding viewers and scholars alike. It can approximate flesh with astonishing realism and has been used to create uncanny human simulacra since ancient times--from phallic amulets offered to heal distressing conditions and life-size votive images crammed inside candlelit churches by the faithful, to exquisitely detailed anatomical specimens used for training doctors and Medardo Rosso's "melting" portraits. The critical history of wax, however, is fraught with gaps and controversies. After Giorgio Vasari, the subject of wax sculpture was abandoned by art historians; in the twentieth century it once again sparked intellectual interest, only soon to vanish. The authors of the eight essays in Ephemeral Bodies--including the first English translation of Julius von Schlosser's seminal "History of Portraiture in Wax" (1910-11)--break new ground as they explore wax reproductions of the body or body parts and assess their conceptual ambiguity, material impermanence, and implications for the history of Western art.

Wiener Jahrbuch für Kunstgeschichte LXVI
Julius von Schlosser (1866-1938) ist eine der großen Figuren der Kunstgeschichte und darf neben Alois Riegl (1858-1905) als einflussreichster Vertreter der Wiener Schule gelten. Zum 150. Geburtstag positionieren die hier vorgelegten Beiträge den Wiener Gelehrten in der Geschichte der Kunstgeschichte und innerhalb des aktuellen Methodendiskurses. Die Beiträge gehen auf eine vom Kunsthistorischen Museum und dem Institut für Kunstgeschichte der Universität Wien gemeinsam veranstaltete Tagung zurück und eröffnen neue Perspektiven auf Leben und Werk Julius von Schlossers. Zentrale Themen bilden seine einflussreiche Rolle als Museumsmann und Universitätslehrer und seine bis heute stark rezipierten Publikationen zu den Kunst- und Wunderkammern der Spätrenaissance, zur Porträtbildnerei in Wachs und zur Kunstliteratur, aber auch seine Bedeutung als Historiograph der Wiener Schule, seine Ambitionen als Brückenbauer zwischen Deutschland und Italien und sein Verhältnis zu wichtigen Zeitgenossen wie Wilhelm von Bode, Alois Riegl, Aby Warburg, Heinrich Wölfflin, Karl Vossler und Benedetto Croce.
