‎Taste and the Antique The Lure of Classical Sculpture: 1500-1900. Revised and Amplified Edition‎

‎For several hundred years, until about 1900, a limited number of antique sculptures were as much admired as are the Mona Lisa, Botticelli's Birth of Venus or Michelangelo's David today. They were reproduced in marble, bronze and lead, as plaster casts in academies and art schools, as porcelain figurines for chimneypieces and as cameos for bracelets and snuffboxes. They were celebrated by poets from Du Bellay and Marino to Byron and D?Annunzio, and memorably evoked by novelists as diverse as Marcel Proust and Nathaniel Hawthorne, George Eliot and Charles Dickens. Copies of some of these statues can be seen at Pavlosk and Madrid, at Stourhead, Charlottenburg, Malibu and Versailles, and in countless gardens, houses and museums throughout the world. How and when did these particular sculptures achieve such a special status? Who were the collectors, restorers, dealers, artists, dilettanti, scholars and archaeologists who created their reputations? Under what names (often wildly fanciful) did they first become famous? How were they interpreted, and how and when and why did their glamour begin to wane? These are some of the problems that are confronted in Taste and the Antique. Taste and the Antique has become a classic of art history since its original publication in 1981. This revised and amplified edition significantly updates the information based on new research undertaken in the last several decades, as well as expanding examples of the reception and influence of these works by artists and collectors from the Renaissance through to contemporary art. The original edition has been expanded into three volumes: Volume 1 is a revised and amplified version of the 1981 edition. Fifteen chapters trace in narrative form, with the support of a wide variety of plates, the rise and decline of this highly important episode in the history of taste. These chapters are followed by catalogue entries for 95 of the most celebrated sculptures, all of them illustrated, which provide information on when and where they were discovered, changes of ownership and nomenclature, as well as a record of varying critical fortunes designed to complement the more general discussion in the earlier chapters. Volume 2 contains especially commissioned new photography of over 90 statues catalogued in Volume 1. Volume 3 is entirely devoted to a visual survey of the full range of replicas and adaptations of the works catalogued and illustrated in the previous volumes. The book is indispensable for historians of taste, and to art historians concerned with the debt owed by numerous artists from the Renaissance onwards to the art of ancient Greece and Rome; and it is also of great value to students and collectors of the many surviving copies of the sculptures discussed.

‎, Silvana Editoriale, 2024 2 VOL BOXED, 270 x 210 mm, 670 p. ENG edition. Illustrated in color. . ISBN 9788836657735.‎

‎The 60th International Art Exhibition, curated by Adriano Pedrosa, which will be held from April 20th to November 24th 2024 in Venice, is titled Foreigners Everywhere. The Exhibition takes its name from a series of artworks made in 2004 by the Claire Fontaine collective, and will be, as the Curator himself explained, "a celebration of the foreign, the distant, the outsider, the queer, as well as the indigenous". It "will focus on artists who are themselves foreigners, immigrants, expatriates, diasporic, migr s, exiled, and refugees- especially those who have moved between the Global South and the Global North" (Adriano Pedrosa). The Catalogue, published by Edizioni La Biennale di Venezia, is as always printed in two volumes, and follows the Exhibition route to accompany visitors and art lovers through the exhibition spaces of the Giardini and the Arsenale. It also presents the other projects on display in various locations around the city of Venice and at Forte Marghera, in Mestre. Volume I of the Catalogue is dedicated to the International Exhibition, curated by Adriano Pedrosa. The first pages of the book open with two short introductions by President Pie-trangelo Buttafuoco and President Roberto Cicutto, followed by an interview with Adriano Pedrosa by Julieta Gonz lez. Part One of the book is dedicated to the critical essays and a number of "Conversations", including interviews with Anna Maria Maiolino and Nil Yalter, Golden Lions for Life-time Achievement of the Biennale Arte 2024, and one with the Claire Fontaine collective. Part Two is dedicated to the presentation of the artists on exhibit and is divided into two main sections: Nucleo Storico and Nucleo Contemporaneo. The Catalogue includes essays by Jaider Esbell, Kobena Mer-cer, Luce Delire, Naine Terena, Ranajit Guha, Ticio Escobar and Walter Mignolo. Each artist is introduced by a critical essay that explores their work, and is illustrated with a rich iconographic apparatus. The book ends with a detailed listing of the artworks on display. The National Participations and the Collateral Events partici-pating in the 60th International Art Exhibition are gathered in Volume II, and are presented by texts illustrated with images that explore the works on exhibit in the Pavilions, the Giardini and the Arsenale, and the collateral events located in various venues throughout Venice.‎

‎Pour les grands voyageurs du XVIe au d but du XIXe si cle, l'exploration des les du Pacifique avait t une aventure exceptionnelle, pour de Queiros, Cook, La P rouse, Bougainville et Dumont d'Urville qui avaient brav ces mers inconnues pour d couvrir ce qu'ils crurent tre le paradis. Aujourd'hui, le voyageur peut suivre leurs traces, et pourtant de nombreux aspects de ces cultures insulaires demeurent aussi peu familiers qu'autrefois. Parmi ces aspects m connus, l'un des plus int ressants est l'extraordinaire richesse artistique cr e par les habitants de ces les. Le monde oc anien recouvre des milliers d' les, de l'immense Nouvelle-Guin e de simples atolls coralliens. Les indig nes y d velopp rent plus de cultures autonomes et vari es que partout ailleurs dans le monde. Dans la plupart d'entre elles, les arts tiennent une place fondamentale car ils sont un facteur essentiel d'int gration la vie sociale et religieuse. Ils incluent non seulement l'architecture, la peinture et la sculpture, mais aussi la musique, la danse, la pri re, et l'ornement du corps. Presque tous les mat riaux disponibles sont utilis s, durables ou ph m res. Cependant, pour des raisons principalement historiques, l'art des les du Pacifique a t relativement n glig . Si un grand nombre de publications sp cialis es, techniques ou anthropologiques existent, principalement sous forme d'articles, aucune synth se d'ampleur n'a t publi e depuis trente ans. Et cela en d pit des nombreuses d couvertes importantes et des tudes approfondies sur l'art de ces communaut s pass es et pr sentes. Pr senter au grand public l'art oc anien partir des recherches et des th ories contemporaines sur cet ensemble complexe de soci t s et de cultures, c'est ce qu'accomplit cet ouvrage travers des textes de grande qualit et une iconographie qui r unit les chefs-d'?uvre dont un bon tiers d'?uvres in dites. Une documentation pr cise sur les principaux groupes culturels apportent le compl ment indispensable pour une bonne d couverte de ce continent parpill entre ciel et oc an.‎

"At first it was envisaged to assemble the papers of the Congress in a single book. In spite of all the additional effort and financial burden it incurred, it was finally decided to prepare two books for publication: one in Turkish and the other in English and French. it was a major preference to publish the papers presented to the Congress which lasted for three days and which provided a dense medium of information, exchange of ideas and discussion, as a source of reference that would meet the varying needs of a much wider audience. The products of Cem Erozu's research on 'The Musical Build-up of Architect Sinan's Works', promising an interesting point of view, was on display at Taskisla, throughout the Congress. It was our sincere wish that the scientific level of the papers assembled in these books would be of an international quality. We hope that this wish has come true.".‎

‎* René Gardi (* 1. März 1909 in Bern; ? 8. März 2000 ebenda) war ein Schweizer Reiseschriftsteller, Fotograf und Filmer. Nach einem Studium der Mathematik, Physik und Zoologie an der Universität Bern war er von 1932 bis 1945 Sekundarlehrer in Brügg bei Biel und arbeitete dann als freier Schriftsteller und Vortragsreisender. Vor allem mit seinen Pfadfinderbüchern und Knabenromanen machte er sich zunächst einen Namen als Schriftsteller. Nach 1945 wandte er sich immer mehr dem Reisen und der Reiseschriftstellerei zu. Bevorzugte Reiseziele waren zuerst Skandinavien, dann ab 1948 Afrika und Neuguinea, insbesondere die südliche Sahara und der Norden von Kamerun, also das «afrikanische Hinterland», dessen Einfachheit und Ursprünglichkeit ihn lebenslang faszinierte. Seine Reisen dokumentierte er in verschiedenen Büchern sowie in den beiden Filmen Mandara (1959) und Die letzten Karawanen (1967). Gardi bekam mehrere Literaturpreise und ihm wurde 1967 von der Universität Bern der Titel eines Dr. h. c. der Ethnologie verliehen. Allerdings erfuhr sein Werk auch schon früh Kritik; so verweigerte ihm die deutsche Prüfstelle für den Film Mandara ? Zauber der schwarzen Wildnis ein Prädikat und damit Steuerfreiheit, weil Gardis Kommentartext, den er im Film zu seinen Bildern vorlas, mangelhaft sei und «nicht nur umgeschrieben, sondern von Grund auf neu konzipiert werden» müsse. 2019 war Gardis Leben und Werk Gegenstand des Dokumentarfilms African Mirror von Mischa Hedinger. Dieser deckte unter anderem auf, dass Gardi 1945 nach einer Selbstanzeige wegen sexueller Übergriffe auf Kinder verurteilt wurde und darauf einen Suizidversuch beging. Danach prüfte die Stadt Bern die Umbenennung einer nach ihm benannten neuen Strasse und die Universität Bern den Entzug des Ehrendoktortitels, worauf letztere aber verzichtete, da dies gegenüber Verstorbenen nicht möglich sei. 2020 traf der Gemeinderat der Stadt Bern den Grundsatzentscheid für die Umbenennung der Gardistrasse und entschied sich 2021 zur Ehrung von Bertha Trüssel für den Namen Trüsselstrasse.(Quelle Wikipedia)‎
