Jubiläum der Gründung des Kunstgewerbemuseums der Staatlichen Museen zu Berlin gibt Anlass, seine ebenso vielfältigen wie bedeutenden Sammlungen neu zu betrachten. Die Kuratorinnen und Kuratoren des Museums präsentieren in diesem Band ihre eigenen, ganz persönlichen »Lieblingswerke«. Die 100 ausgewählten Objekte von der Spätantike bis zur Gegenwart werden durch fast ausnahmslos neu angefertigte Detailfotos faszinierend ins Bild gesetzt und durch prägnante Texte erläutert. The 150th anniversary of the founding of the Kunstgewerbemuseum (Museum of Decorative Arts) of the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin represents an opportunity to take a fresh look at this diverse and distinguished collection. In this volume, the museum's curators present their personal "favorites." Each of the 100 selected works - which range from late antiquity to the present day - is, with few exceptions, illustrated by newly prepared photographs of significant details and accompanied by an incisive text.
Form Follows Flower
Die Pflanzenfotografien Karl Blossfeldts (1865-1932) sind heute weltberühmt. Unbekannt hingegen ist, dass ihre Entstehung einen Teil der Geschichte des Berliner Kunstgewerbemuseums bildet: Nicht als freie Kunstfotografien fertigte Blossfeldt seine Aufnahmen, sondern als Elemente einer Lehrmittelsammlung. Mit dieser rückte Moritz Meurer (1839-1916) in den 1890er Jahren das Pflanzenstudium an der dem Museum angeschlossenen Kunstgewerbeschule in den Fokus. Anhand von Modellen, Herbarien, Lehrtafeln und Fotografien sollten die Gesetze natürlicher Formbildung durchdrungen und die Gestaltungslehre erneuert werden. Katalog und Ausstellung führen die Lehrmittel erstmals als Ensemble zusammen und...
Making Marvels
Featuring more than 150 treasures from several of the world’s most prestigious collections, Making Marvels explores the vital intersection of art, technology, and political power at the courts of early modern Europe. It was there, from the sixteenth through eighteenth centuries, that a remarkable outpouring of creativity and learning gave rise to exquisite objects that were at once beautiful works of art and technological wonders. By amassing vast, glittering collections of these ingeniously crafted objects, princes flaunted their wealth and competed for mastery over the known world. More than mere status symbols, however, many of these marvels ushered in significant advancements that have had a lasting influence on astronomy, engineering, and even international politics. Incisive texts by leading scholars situate these works within the rich, complex symbolism of life at court, where science and splendor were pursued with equal vigor and together contributed to a culture of magnificence.

Late Gothic
Kaum eine Epoche der Kunst ist von so durchgreifenden Veränderungen geprägt wie die Spätgotik im 15. Jahrhundert. Angeregt durch niederländische Vorbilder werden Licht und Schatten, Körper und Raum zunehmend wirklichkeitsnah dargestellt. Der Alltag hält Einzug in die Künste. Mit der Erfindung der Drucktechnik kommt es zu einer ungeahnten Verbreitung von Bildern und Texten. Künstler wie Nicolaus Gerhaert oder Martin Schongauer erlangen überregionale Berühmtheit und nehmen über alle Gattungen hinweg Einfluss auf die Entwicklung der Bildkünste in ganz Europa. Die Gegenüberstellung der unterschiedlichen Gattungen macht den Katalog zu einem Handbuch der Kunst am Übergang zur Neuzeit.
Fragile Diplomacy
While imported Chinese porcelain had become a valuable commodity in Europe in the seventeenth century, local attempts to produce porcelain long remained unsuccessful. At last the secret of hard-paste porcelain was uncovered, and in 1710 the first European porcelain was manufactured in Saxony. Meissen porcelain, still manufactured today, soon ranked in value with silver and gold. This thorough and lavishly illustrated volume explores the early years of Meissen porcelain and how the princes of Saxony came to use highly prized porcelain pieces as diplomatic gifts for presentation to foreign courts. An eminent team of international contributors examines the trade of Meissen with other nations, from England to Russia. They also investigate the cultural ambience of the Dresden Court, varying tastes of the markets, the wide range of porcelain objects, and their designers and makers. Individual chapters are devoted to gifts to Denmark, other German courts, the Holy Roman Empire, Italy, France, and other nations. For every Meissen collector or enthusiast, this book will be not only a treasured handbook but also a source of visual delight.
The Shock of Recognition
In The Shock of Recognition, Lewis Pyenson examines art and science together to shed new light on common motifs in Picasso’s and Einstein’s education, in European material culture, and in the intellectual life of one nation-state, Argentina.
Dada in the Collection of the Museum of Modern Art
Dada: The Collections of The Museum of Modern Art is the first publication devoted exclusively to MoMA's unrivalled collection of Dada works. Beginning with a core group acquired on the occasion of the landmark Fantastic Art, Dada and Surrealism exhibition of 1936, enriched in 1953 by a bequest selected by Marcel Duchamp, and steadily augmented over the years, the Museum's Dada collection presents the movement in its full international and interdisciplinary scope during its defining years, from 1916 through 1924. Catalyzed by the major Dada exhibition that appeared in Paris, Washington, D.C., and at The Museum of Modern Art in 2005-6, the book benefits from the latest scholarly thinking, not...
Porcelain
"This is the book on porcelain we have been waiting for. . . . A remarkable achievement."—Edmund de Waal, author of The Hare with Amber Eyes A sweeping cultural and economic history of porcelain, from the eighteenth century to the present Porcelain was invented in medieval China—but its secret recipe was first reproduced in Europe by an alchemist in the employ of the Saxon king Augustus the Strong. Saxony’s revered Meissen factory could not keep porcelain’s ingredients secret for long, however, and scores of Holy Roman princes quickly founded their own mercantile manufactories, soon to be rivaled by private entrepreneurs, eager to make not art but profits. As porcelain’s uses multi...
