‎Portraits of Unidentified and Newly Identified Sitters Painted in Antwerp - Corpus Rubenianum Ludwig Burchard XIX. / 3‎

‎, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2021 Hardcover with dusjacket, 410 pages ., 75 b/w ill. + 60 colour ill., 175 x 260 mm,.NEW ISBN 9781912554638.‎

‎This book, one of four devoted to Rubens's portraiture, contains a catalogue of all the portraits of unidentified individuals attributed by Ludwig Burchard or by the authors to Rubens and executed in Antwerp. The volume thus complements the catalogue of all the portraits of known persons painted by Rubens in Antwerp, published in the Corpus Rubenianum Ludwig Burchard as Part XIX.2 in 1987. A decade earlier the volume on the portraits painted by Rubens outside Antwerp (XIX.1) had inaugurated the series on Ruben's portraits. In 2016, the book dealing with Portraits after Existing Prototypes (XIX.4) also appeared, so that now the cataloguing of Rubens?s entire oeuvre in the field of portraiture is complete. Not all the works discussed in the present book (XIX.3) are, however, portraits of unidentified sitters ? initially the volumes title. Recent scholarly research has not only allowed insights into sitters previously unrecognised, but has indeed made it possible to give an identity to a number of persons portrayed in works that were not included in the second volume (XIX.2). Among these sitters are members of Rubens's own family, as well as his contemporaries, including significant figures in the political, economic or religious life of the period.‎

‎Power of Textiles : Tapestries of the Burgundian Dominions (1363-1477)‎

‎, Brepols 2018, 2018 XII+221 p., 28 b/w ill., 2 b/w tables, 156 x 234 mm, English, Paperback, . ISBN 9782503533933.‎

‎The power of textiles in the Burgundian Dominions, spinning webs between city and court c. 1363-1477. Textiles were used as markers of distinction throughout the Middle Ages and their production was of great economic importance to emerging and established polities. This book explores tapestry in one of the greatest textile producing regions, the Burgundian Dominions, c. 1363-1477. It uses documentary evidence to reconstruct and analyse the production, manufacture, and use of tapestry. It begins by identifying the suppliers of tapestry to the dukes of Burgundy and their ability to spin webs between city and court. It proceeds by considering the forms of tapestry and their functions for urban and courtly consumers. It then observes the ways in which tapestry constructed social relations as part of gift-giving strategies. It concludes by exploring what the re-use, repair, and remaking of tapestry reveals about its value to urban and courtly consumers. By taking an object-centred approach through documentary sources, this book emphasises that the particular characteristics of tapestry shaped the strategies of those who supplied it and the ways it performed and constructed social relations. Thus, the book offers a contribution to the historical understanding of textiles as objects that contributed to the projection of social status and the cultural construction of political authority in the Burgundian polity. Katherine Anne Wilson is Senior Lecturer in Medieval History at the University of Chester. Her research interests lie in understanding the relationship between social and cultural change, and shifting patterns in the use of material culture in the later Middle Ages. She has worked and published on the circulation of tapestry and luxury goods of the Burgundian Netherlands as well as the biographies of their producers and consumers.‎

‎* Louis Isadore Kahn (* 20. Februarjul./ 5. März 1901greg. in Kuressaare, Gouvernement Estland, Russisches Kaiserreich; ? 17. März 1974 in New York) war ein US-amerikanischer Architekt, Stadtplaner und Hochschullehrer. Sein Arbeitsschwerpunkt waren öffentliche Bauten. Kahn wurde auf der estnischen Insel Saaremaa geboren. Sein Vater Leopold Kahn emigrierte 1904 in die USA, 1906 reiste seine Mutter Bertha mit Louis und seinen Geschwistern nach. Kahn wuchs in Philadelphia auf, 1915 bekam er die US-amerikanische Staatsbürgerschaft. Von 1920 bis 1924 studierte er Architektur an der Universität von Pennsylvania. Es folgte eine Europareise, die ihn unter anderem auch nach Carcassonne in Frankreich führte. 1925?26 war er als Mitarbeiter des Bauamtes Chefdesigner der Weltausstellung in Philadelphia. Danach arbeitete er im Büro von Paul P. Cret, ein damals bekannter Architekt, und reiste erneut nach Europa. 1930 heiratete er Esther Virginia Israeli, zehn Jahre später wurde die Tochter Sue Ann geboren. 1934 eröffnete er ein eigenes Büro und begann mit Siedlungsbauprojekten. Ab 1947 lehrte er in Yale, ab 1957 lehrte er an der University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. 1954 kam seine Tochter Alexandra zur Welt, die Mutter war Kahns Mitarbeiterin Anne Tyng. Ebenfalls eine Mitarbeiterin, Harriet Pattison, brachte 1963 den Sohn Nathaniel zur Welt. Nach der Rückkehr von einer Indienreise starb Louis Kahn an einem Herzinfarkt in der Bahnhofstoilette der Penn Station in Manhattan. Da er unzureichende Papiere mit sich führte und vollkommen verwahrlost war, konnte er erst nach drei Tagen identifiziert werden. 1912 bis 1920 besuchte Kahn die Central High School und die Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. Das Studium der Architektur von 1920 bis 24 an der Universität von Pennsylvania schloss er mit dem Bachelor of Architecture ab. Das Bauamt unter Leitung von John Molitor war von 1925 bis 1926 seine erste berufliche Station, wo Kahn Entwurfs-Chef für die Hundertfünfzigjahrfeier (der amerikanischen Unabhängigkeit) wurde. Von 1928 bis 1929 folgten Reisen in Europa, 1930 begann er seine Tätigkeit im Büro von Paul P. Cret, danach im Büro von Zanzinger, Borie & Medary. 1932 wurde er Organisator und Leiter der Architectural Research Group: Dreißig arbeitslose Architekten und Ingenieure untersuchten Philadelphias Wohnverhältnisse, planten Wohnungsbau, erarbeiteten Studien über Städteplanung und Slum-Sanierung und erforschten neue Konstruktionsmethoden. Bald danach schrieb er sich im American Institute of Architects ein und wurde als Architekt selbständig. Seine Bauten aus dieser Zeit erreichten keine überregionale Bekanntheit, allerdings wurde er 1937 Beratender Architekt bei der Wohnungsbaubehörde Philadelphias, 1939 Beratender Architekt bei der Wohnungsbaubehörde der USA und von 1946 bis 1952 Beratender Architekt der Stadtplanungskommission Philadelphias. 1941 trat er als Partner in George Howes Architekturbüro ein, später im gleichen Jahr kam Oscar Stonorov als dritter Partner hinzu. Ein Jahr später schon schied Howe aus dem Büro aus, noch bis 1947 bestand die Architektengemeinschaft Stonorov and Kahn. Der Aufenthalt an der American Academy in Rom in den Jahren 1950 und 1951 markierte eine Wende in seiner Karriere, wie Vincent J. Scully in seinem Buch Louis I. Kahn 1962 schrieb: ?Vor zehn Jahren - er war damals über 50 - hatte Louis I. Kahn noch fast nichts gebaut [?]. Innerhalb von zehn Jahren aber ist aus dem ?hätte sein können? ein ?ist? geworden und Kahns Leistungen in nur einem Jahrzehnt weisen ihm unbestreitbar einen Platz in der ersten Riege lebender Architekten zu.? In den folgenden Jahren bis zu seinem Tod realisierte er eine Reihe von großen öffentlichen Bauprojekten. Er war weiterhin als Hochschullehrer tätig und hielt zahlreiche Vorträge, etwa 1959 das Schlussreferat am Zehnten CIAM-Kongress in Otterlo, Niederlande oder 1962 den Jahresvortrag am Royal Institute of British Architects in London. Er blieb immer seiner Heimatstadt Philadelphia verbunden und engagierte sich in städtebaulichen Fragen; so war er 1961 Beratender Architekt der Stadtplanungskommission Philadelphias und 1968 Mitglied der Kunstkommission von Philadelphia.

‎Louis Kahn to Anne Tyng : the Rome letters, 1953-1954‎

‎Quarto in off-white dj; 216 pages; illustrations ; 27 cm; English "After maintaining a professional and personal relationship with Louis Kahn for seven years, Anne Griswold Tyng departed in the autumn of 1953 for Rome. During her year in Italy, where their daughter was born, Kahn wrote weekly to Tyng, and his correspondence to her is published here for the first time. The fifty-three letters document not only their intense private relationship, but also give a vibrant account of the experience of a brilliant young architect on the cusp of achieving international renown. Kahn's letters, together with Anne Tyng's intimate essays, vividly capture the professional politics of the modern architecture scene - such prominent figures as Philip Johnson, Eero and Aline Saarinen, Vincent Scully, George Howe, Pier Luigi Nervi, and Robert Venturi make appearances - and illuminate the creative processes at work in the early stages of Kahn's emergence as one of the most influential architects of the twentieth century." ó Publisher || Architects.
