De Gruyter Fotografien: Erkennen – Bewahren – Ausstellen
Book SynopsisFotografien sind kulturhistorische oder zeitgeschichtliche Dokumente mit einem schier unerschöpflichen Themenspektrum und damit für Forschung und Vermittlung zentrale Informationsquellen. Doch auch als Form des Kunstschaffens wird die Fotografie zum Gegenstand von Sammlungen und vielbeachteten Ausstellungen. Der Band stellt die Stufen der technischen Entwicklung der Fotografie bis zur Gegenwart vor. Die Lichtbild-Techniken von den Anfängen in der ersten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts werden in ihren Herstellungsverfahren beschrieben, die jeweiligen konservatorischen Problemstellungen skizziert und Maßnahmen vorgeschlagen. Nicht zuletzt widmet sich ein Beitrag den Aspekten der Langzeitarchivierung digitaler Bildaufnahmen. Die Publikation bietet übersichtlich und reich bebildert praktische Hilfen zur Identifikation und gibt Hinweise auf spezielle Risiken bei der Handhabung. Ausführliche Informationen zur Archivierung, Präsentation und zu konservatorischen Maßnahmen erleichtern den Umgang mit diesen empfindlichen Materialien. Der beliebte Band liegt nun als durchgesehene, aktualisierte Auflage vor!

De Gruyter Star oder Loser?: Zum Making-of von
Book SynopsisStars werden nicht geboren – sie werden gemacht. Das betrifft nicht nur Sport oder Unterhaltungsindustrie, sondern auch Museumsobjekte. Die Kunstwelt bietet vielfältige Beispiele dafür. Ebenso ergeht es aber auch Sammlungsstücken in ethnologischen Museen: Einige machen Karriere, schaffen es zu einer gewissen Berühmtheit oder werden gar zu internationalen Ikonen, andere verbringen ihr „Museumsleben" weitgehend unbeachtet im Depot. Wie es dazu kommt und welche Faktoren entscheiden, ob aus einem Objekt ein Star oder ein Loser wird, damit beschäftigt sich diese Forschungsarbeit. Sie fragt anhand von bekannten wie auch unbekannten afrikanischen und ozeanischen Sammlungsgegenständen des Museums Fünf Kontinente in München nach ihrem „Making-of" und den Dynamiken in ihrer Wahrnehmung, Deutung und Wertschätzung.

De Gruyter Die Suche nach einem angemessenen Bild der
Book SynopsisThe publication focuses on the relationship between needs-oriented images of history and the adoption of historical artistic styles. The congruence of re-enactment or reconstruction and the collective desire for a representative image of their own past is analyzed with respect to the interaction between zeitgeist, influential protagonists, and historicizing ideologies. Critical light is shed on various dogmas, such as the idea of a beautifully white antiquity, which still has an effect on our contemporary imagination. Even though color reconstructions can help us re-examine our aesthetic perceptions, it is still unclear whether and how we want to work with preconceived notions in the context of new societal challenges.

De Gruyter Ahnen, Göttinnen und Helden: Skulpturen aus
Book SynopsisBeschützen, heilen oder bestrafen – diese Kräfte schrieben Menschen verschiedener Zeiten und Herkünfte den Bildwerken zu, die hier zum ersten Mal gemeinsam vorgestellt werden: sei es die Skulptur des Mangaaka aus der heutigen Republik Kongo, die Schutzgöttin Mahamayuri aus China oder die Maria auf der Weltkugel aus Süddeutschland. 45 Objekte aus zwei Berliner Museen, entstanden zwischen dem 4. und 19. Jahrhundert, vermitteln ein lebendiges Zeugnis der allgegenwärtigen Bedürfnisse nach Schutz und Orientierung bei der Bewältigung individueller oder gesellschaftlicher Krisen. Sie stehen für die Existenz einer nicht-sichtbaren Welt von Göttern, Geistern oder Ahnen und schufen eine Verbindung zwischen dem Diesseits und einer „anderen Wirklichkeit". Durch ihre museale Präsentation ist ihr Gebrauchszusammenhang oftmals verlorengegangen – ein Umstand, der von den Autor/-innen dieses Buches kritisch reflektiert wird.

De Gruyter Ancestors, Goddesses, and Heroes: Sculptures from
Book SynopsisProtecting, healing, or punishing—people of various eras and origins have attributed such powers to the sculptures that are being presented together here for the first time: be it the sculpture of the Mangaaka from what is today the Republic of Congo, the protective goddess Mahamayuri from China, or the Maria on the globe from Southern Germany. Forty-five objects created between the fourth and the nineteenth century from two museums in Berlin provide a vivid testimony to the ever-present need for protection and orientation when dealing with individual or social crises. They represent the existence of an invisible world of gods, spirits, or ancestors, and create a connection between this world and a "different reality." As a result of how they are presented in museums, their context of use is, however, often lost—a situation that is reflected on by the authors of this book.

Peter Lang AG Locus Fratrum – Architecture of Observant
Book SynopsisThe book Locus Fratrum is the first attempt at a systematic analysis of the architecture and building practice of the last major medieval monastic order. The core of the book lies in chapters monitoring the history and building development of the individual monasteries in the territory of the Bohemian monastic province. The catalogue part is preceded by chapters summarizing the historical context of the Observant Franciscans’ activities in the second half of the fifteenth and the first half of the sixteenth centuries, during which the Observants experienced both rise and fall. The history of the order is followed by an exposition on the rules governing the foundation of convents, the monastic rules limiting artwork and above all the character of the order’s architecture.Table of ContentsObservant Franciscans in the Bohemian Lands in the Late Middle Ages – Monastic regulations in relation to arts and architecture – Foundation and general principles of the construction of convents – Architecture of Observant Franciscan monasteries – Catalogue of Observant Franciscan monasteries

Hirmer Verlag Tibetan Mustang: A Cultural Renaissance
Book SynopsisTibetan culture revives in hidden Himalayan kingdom. Photographers Luigi Fieni and Kenneth Parker document the cultural revival of Tibetan Mustang “the hidden kingdom” of the Himalayas. A restoration project of its sacred temple murals directed by Luigi Fieni over more than 20 years has reawakened Buddhist traditions. Included is Mustang’s extraordinary landscape as well as the Lobas’ spiritual and secular way of life. The kingdom of Mustang, where Tibetan Buddhist tradition continues, is emerging as a beacon of community-directed art conservation and resurgent culture. Sacred temples dominate the medieval capital Lo Monthang. Following centuries of deterioration a mural restoration project has taken place over more then 20 years, directed by conservator/photographer Luigi Fieni. This included training the unskilled Lobas in Western conservation methods. This extraordinary initiative led to a vibrant cultural renaissance in the kingdom.

Scheidegger und Spiess AG, Verlag Les Jardins de La Gara: Un domaine genevois du
Book SynopsisLa Gara is an 18th-century country estate in Jussy, a village near Geneva, Switzerland. The buildings have been carefully restored by Swiss architect Verena Best, who also added inspired touches to the interior design. The renowned Belgian landscape designer Erik Dhont reinterpreted and subtly redesigned the gardens and surrounding grounds, completed by a palindrome-like labyrinth designed by Swiss artist Markus Raetz. This new book tells the full story of the La Gara estate and illustrates its beauty. The essays investigate various aspects of its preservation and restoration of buildings and gardens and the contemporary interventions. They highlight features such as the historic watering system for the gardens and the fishponds and look at the specific Genevan garden tradition and characteristics of the rural landscape around Jussy with its biodiversity. Moreover, they contextualise La Gara with the 'ferme ornée', a villa with agricultural and ornamental features following ancient Roman models. The beautiful volume is rounded out with newly commissioned photographs by renowned Swiss photographer Georg Aerni. Text in French.

Silvana Venetian Glassworks: Carla Nasci - Ferruccio
Book SynopsisThis book presents the surprising collection of Venetian glass donated by spouses Carla Nasci and Ferruccio Franzoia to the Carlo Rizzarda Modern Art Gallery in Feltre. A collection of over 800 pieces ranging from the 18th century to today, allowing the viewer to marvel, in particular, at the Murano production and its great glassmakers. A first nucleus includes the elegant Liberty and Déco glasses produced by Vetri Soffiati Muranesi Cappellin Venini & C. in the twenties: the artistic director of the company was Vittorio Zecchin, one of the most fascinating personalities working in Venice between the First World War and the decade later, who with his elegant, transparent blown glass inspired by the Renaissance, marked a decisive turning point in contemporary Murano production. A second group is represented by the artifacts produced between 1925 and 1960 referable to the figure of Carlo Scarpa, creator of highly successful, innovative glass shapes and fabrics, who collaborated respectively with the Cappellini company since 1926 and with Venini since 1932, together with a mix of products from other companies and authors active in the lagoon. The third type of documented artifacts is that of table glasses: consumer objects destined for ephemeral use and therefore an important testimony of taste and customs.
