Chunghi Choo and Her Students
The renowned silversmith and jewelry artist Chunghi Choo (born 1938 in South Korea) is internationally known for her work with electroplating technology and plastic. Her pieces are represented in the most important museums worldwide, including the Metropolitan Museum of Arts (US), the Victoria and Albert Museum (UK) and the Musée des Arts décoratifs (FR). She is also professor emeritus at the University of Iowa, where she established a metals department and raised it to global prominence during her more than 30 years of tenure. Many of her students have become respected artists in the fields of painting, jewellery, textile art, metal design or sculpture. The publication chronicles Choo's distinguished career and features select pieces over the past six decades that have earned her Elected Fellow status of the American Craft Council. Their lasting influence on subsequent generations of artists becomes clear in the works presented by 30 former students.--Translation provided by cataloger via Google Translate.
Mitchell & Ruff
This portrait of jazz musicians Willie Ruff and Dwike Mitchell tells not just how these men became musicians but how they live their lives as musicians -- how they give the gift of jazz to communities that would otherwise not have access to this powerful music. Born into Southern homes long before the civil rights era began, Ruff and Mitchell became successful musicians with degrees from two of the country's most elite conservatories. Mitchell and Ruff follows the musicians to Shanghai, where they bring jazz to China; to the Midwest, where they demonstrate their talents to audiences usually ignored by musicians; to New York City, where Mitchell teaches a new generation of talented but untrained musicians; and to Venice, where Ruff travels back to the roots of Western music in order to understand jazz legacy.

Collecting and Provenance
The study of provenance—the history of the creation and ownership of an artefact, work of art, or specimen—provides insights into the history of taste and collecting, illuminating the social, economic, and historic trends in which an object was created and collected.

This book promotes the study of the history of collecting and collections in all their variety through the lens of provenance, and explores the subject as a cross-disciplinary activity. Perhaps for the first time in a publication, it draws on expertise ranging from art ...
A Brief History of Bucktown: Davenport's Infamous District Transformed
"German immigrants created leafy beer gardens here nearly two centuries ago, establishing Bucktown as the heart of entertainment in downtown Davenport for generations. In 1916, the founding of the Tri-City Symphony Orchestra at the Burtis Opera House embodied the neighborhood reputation for high culture. The numerous saloons and theaters, as well as the forty-two documented brothels that flourished within two blocks, lent a bawdy side to the good times. Varied industries thrived through World War II, and downtown bustled with shoppers visiting department stores like Petersen . Later, the neighborhood struggled and declined as a farming crisis hit the region hard. With revitalized landmarks like the magnificent Hotel Blackhawk and the historic Redstone Building, the community is growing more vibrant as a place to live, work and play. Author Jonathan Turner explores this dynamic history and transformation."--Publisher description.
