"Er zijn maar liefst 35.000 exemplaren van 'Rijks, Masters of the Golden Age' verkocht. Wegens het grote succes van deze uitgave is het tijd voor een nieuwe druk, en wel de 5e druk! Aan de 4e druk werden de twee beroemde huwelijksportretten van Marten Soolmans en Oopjen Coppit (Rembrandt - 1634) toegevoegd. De 5e druk bevat opnieuw extra pagina's. Na een tournee door de 12 provincies van Nederland, zal het imposante portret 'De Vaandeldrager' (Rembrandt - c. 1636) vanaf 2023 permanent worden opgenomen in de Eregalerij van het Rijksmuseum. Uiteraard verdient ook dit meesterwerk het te worden opgenomen in 'Rijks, Masters of the Golden Age'. 'Rijks, Masters of the Golden Age' brengt ons oog in oog met de iconische schilderijen uit de prestigieuze Eregalerij van het Rijksmuseum. Met de prachtige details van de kunstwerken en de commentaren van hedendaagse kritische denkers zoals Erwin Olaf, David Allen, Angela Missoni en Jimmy Nelson, is dit boek een waar eerbetoon aan de 17e-eeuwse Nederlandse meesterstukken."-- Provided by publisher.

First and definitive monograph on one of the most influential product, furniture and interior designers today.
"The first large-format monograph on the interiors and building projects of Marcel Wanders, one of the most original designers working today. Marcel Wanders's distinctive output combines a flair for the theatrical with a unique understanding of space that has vaulted him into the top ranks of contemporary design. His interiors projects range from iconic hotels like the Mondrian South Beach in Miami, to fairy-tale private residences in Amsterdam, Mallorca, and Jakarta. Developed integrally with his product design, his spaces incorporate a romantic, monumental sensibility that has redefined interior design. Starting with his work for the Morgans boutique hotel chain (The Rivington in New York) and the London flagship for Mandarina Duck, Wanders's work has spread to four continents. He also has recently partnered with Philippe Starck's and John Hitchcox's design-focused property development brand, yoo. The interiors developed by his Marcel Wanders Studio are drawn from a graphic tradition that combines the everyday with the ornamental, and these inspirational sources will be harnessed to create an unprecedented interior design volume."--Publisher's website.

The Stedelijk Museum opened its doors in 1895, the same year as the first Venice Biennale. It was a "quiet, civilized museum for the Amsterdam bourgeoisie in a time when there was nothing as troublesome as modern art." Initially, the museum exhibited the legacy of the eccentric Sophia Augusta de Bruyn, Douairire Lopez Suasso: a heterogeneous collection of antiques, coins, jewels, timepieces, silver knickknacks, and other curiosa. Period rooms, from canal houses that had been demolished when Raadhuisstraat was driven through, helped create a presentable whole. The museum's renowned furniture collection was not begun until 1934, but since then it has grown to include more than 1000 objects fro...
A companion to an exhibition at the Smithsonian Institution from May to September 2002 illustrates designs relating to coverings that resemble, in some way or another human skin. Organics, artificial and digital skin, vessels and membranes, padding and protection, and warps and folds are among the dimensions explored. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.
At Dwell, we're staging a minor revolution. We think that it's possible to live in a house or apartment by a bold modern architect, to own furniture and products that are exceptionally well designed, and still be a regular human being. We think that good design is an integral part of real life. And that real life has been conspicuous by its absence in most design and architecture magazines.
Out of curiosity and commitment and convinced that the new can't exist without the old, Marcel Wanders went in search of Amsterdam's creative past, personally choosing the men and women he feels are his creative family. These heroes are honored in this book, highlighting the city's most creative moments and inventions of the last 700 years. Marcel Wanders wants to illustrate how an open, tolerant city contributes to creativity and how creativity binds people. He sees creativity in the largest sense of the word; it does not only exist in predefined fields, but is found in the heart of the creator, not constrained by any definition or form. Therefore in this book you will find new, sometimes unlikely, connections; heroes who look beyond existing inventions and conventions and in doing so, open new worlds in the past and the future. In his own way Marcel Wanders wants to show the world the potential of the city: Amsterdam is the creative capital because she has the creative capital.
