W. Somerset Maugham
Collected Stories

2004 y.
Publisher: Everyman`s Library
Description: From one of the twentieth century’s most enduringly popular fiction writers: the only hardcover edition of his short stories. Though W. Somerset Maugham was also famous for his novels and plays, it has been argued that in the short story he reached the pinnacle of his art. These expertly told tales, with their addictive plot twists and vividly drawn characters, are both galvanizing as literature and wonderfully entertaining. In the adventures of his alter ego Ashenden, a writer who (like Maugham himself) turned secret agent in World War I, as well as in stories set in such far-flung locales as South Pacific islands and colonial outposts in Southeast Asia, Maugham brings his characters vividly to life, and their humanity is more convincing for the author’s merciless exposure of their flaws and failures. Whether the chasms of misunderstanding he plumbs are those between colonizers and natives, between a missionary and a prostitute, or between a poetry-writing woman and her… [detailed...]

Jonathan Brown
Collected Writings on Velazquez

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: In this stimulating book, a leading authority on the Spanish master Diego Velazquez discusses this enigmatic artist and explores the mysteries presented by his paintings. The essays collected here, written over the course of Jonathan Brown’s distinguishedcareer, include some which are published in English for the first time and one which has never before been published. Two themes unite them. The first concerns the changing relationship between Velazquez and his patron Philip IV, which provides a framewor for Brown to interpret the painter’s career. The centerpiece of this relationship is Velaquez’s masterpiece, Las Meninas, and this painting is the subject of two essays. The second theme is the problem of attributions and the related issue of Velazquez’sinnovative technique. Since Velazquez was not a prolific painter, questions of authenticity become increasingly contentious. Brown considers this matter in its widest dimensions and participates in the debate about individual… [detailed...]

Collecting Antique Meerschaum Pipes: Miniature to Majestic Sculpture

1999 y.
Publisher: Schiffer Publishing
Description: Collecting Antique Meerschaum Pipes: Miniature to Majestic Sculpture, 1850-1925 is an illustrated guide to the smoking utensils made of a mineral that has been used since at least the early 1700s and which is, today, still a popular material. In the last decade, a surge in interest in tobacco collectibles has already spawned many books on cigarette lighters, cigar-box labels, and snuff boxes and bottles. This book now comes at a time when antique meerschaums are taking center stage, and collecting them is like buying blue-chip stocks. Ben Rapaport is one of the few internationally recognized authorities on the subject of antique pipes, and in this, his second book published by Schiffer, he has created a powerful and convincing tour de force in word and picture that evidences why so many pipe collectors have a fervent passion for these exceptional works of art. Ranging from very diminutive and expressive cigarette holders to massive sculptured pipes, these instruments were produced… [detailed...]

Collecting Contemporary Art (Hapax)

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: For the collector of contemporary art, the acquisition of new work is an aesthetic and intellectual adventure that records a personal journey and cuts a unique cross-section through the culture. Consequently every collector has a different story to tell about art and the art market today. The world of the collector overlaps with that of the artist but is also a realm of stratospheric prices, occasional plunges in value and gestures of bold speculation. As a public figure and commentator, the collector has regained a prominence and a spotlight role little seen in earlier decades, and Collecting Contemporary Art has been assembled to address the emergence of the twenty-first century collector. Published in JRP|Ringier`s superb Hapax series, this volume gathers interviews with 40 collectors from Europe, the Americas and Asia, among them Renato Alpegiani, Blake Byrne, Teresa Sapey, Tian Jun, Uli Sigg, David Roberts and Ivo Wessel.

Collecting and the Internet: Essays on the Pursuit of Old Passions Through New Technologies

2008 y.

Description: The Internet has had a profound effect on collecting--because of the Web, collectibles are now more readily available, collections more easily displayed for a wider audience, and collectors` online communities are larger and often quite intimate.

In this work, essays discuss the age-old habit of collecting and its modern relationship with the Internet. Topics include individually authored websites, online auctions, watches, eye-ware, Kelly dolls, the gambler`s rush of online acquisition, mp3s, collecting friends via online social networking sites, and online museums, among others.

Collecting the New: Museums and Contemporary Art

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Collecting the New is the first book on the questions and challenges that museums face in acquiring and preserving contemporary art. Because such art has not yet withstood the test of time, it defies the traditional understanding of the art museum as an institution that collects and displays works of long-established aesthetic and historical value. By acquiring such art, museums gamble on the future. In addition, new technologies and alternative conceptions of the artwork have created special problems of conservation, while social, political, and aesthetic changes have generated new categories of works to be collected. Following Bruce Altshuler`s introduction on the European and American history of museum collecting of art by living artists, the book comprises newly commissioned essays by twelve distinguished curators representing a wide range of museums. First considered are general issues including the acquisition process, and collecting by universal survey museums… [detailed...]

His ground rules dictated that he would buy one work per month from an artist he had never written about or exhibited before. In this fascinating diary of his year on the market, he tracks the changes in his relation to art, when the commitment becomes one of the wallet and not just the mind and words. `It has affected the way I look at art,` he writes. `On the one hand, if I am unwilling to part with my hard-earned money, how worthy can the art really be? On the other, there are certainly works far above my humble means . . . . For this project, I have had to pay to have my say.` By Bob Nickas. Paperback, 4.5 x 6.5 in./64 pgs / 20 color.
