For the past thirty years this book has, in its various editions, outsold all others on British antique furniture simply because it is unique in explaining what to look for when assessing the value of individual pieces. In this, the fourth edition, additional colour plates have been added to illustrate the huge financial importance of patination and colour -- something which has never before been explained and illustrated but which has become increasingly important in recent years.This classic guide consists of some 1,200 photographs of furniture found in shops and auction rooms throughout the country with the author's down-to-earth comments on important features which affect individual prices. The reader will come to understand the rules and prejudices which apply while the eye will become aware of gradations of quality. He will come instinctively to assess the workmanship and how all this affects the final price tag. This is, above all, a reference book for the practising collector and dealer, a work from which the memory may be refreshed and points checked.Each item is clearly referenced. This enables the annual price revision list to be compiled with a ready cross-reference. The list is available in January/February each year on a private subscription basis and details are contained within the book. This new edition contains both Sterling and US Dollar prices.

FLEXI, 260 x 210 mm, 288 p, throughout illustrated with coloured illustrations. ENG text. ISBN 9783967040401. The fascinating world of product design that emerged between the 1960s and 1980s symbolized the birth of a new age and human behavior. From coffee grinders to fondue sets to hairdryers, each home appliance was intended to help in the daily household routines-but they were also masterpieces of style. Based on Jaro Gielens's collection, one of the largest in the world, Soft Electronics explores a nostalgic and unique set of products from a very distinct time for design. Each object possesses a sense of longevity, quality, and innovation-one that has been hard to match since manufacturing was moved overseas and planned obsolescence redefined our relationship with electronic goods. Soft Electronics pays homage to an iconic era of design.
Softcover, 240 pages, 240 illustrations . 24 x 28 cm. 1,1 kg. fine!. ISBN 9788874398287. Alexander Calder (1898-1976) was a radical inventor: an artist who discarded convention and disrupted hierarchies, overturning the traditional basis of culture while revolutionizing the way people perceive and interact with art. Calder's 'new line' was not simply an evolution of forms and styles. From the start, it was quite clear to all who witnessed him at work that - in his way of drawing attention and gaining notoriety - he was doing something radically new. This catalogue shows how Calder's work emerged from expectations of change in American popular culture. Calder, who was initially attracted by the structure and functions of the circus, looked for alternative models to triumph over respectability, public decorum, and the ambitions of industry. The catalogue, with twelve essays from major contributors, will examine how Calder, among the first college-trained artists, found techniques and inspiration in many disciplines and their development: technology, engineering, architecture, physics, and astronomy, among others. All these contributed to the development of his wire sculptures, mobiles, and stabiles. More than 100 works and comparative illustrations will guide the reader through this innovative and unique path.
Paperback, English/ Finnish, 151 PAGES Illustrated. fine! ISBN 9789529878871. Timo Sarpaneva was originally trained as a graphic designer and the student assignments from his years at the Central School of Industrial Art (1940 ? 1949) have not been previously published or displayed. Less known works by him also include textile patterns and designs from the 1940s and 1950s. Added to these are paintings and graphic design by Timo Sarpaneva from the same period, 1943 ? 1956. Timo Sarpaneva : Piirroksia, luonnoksia ja maalauksia 1943 - 1956 Drawings, Sketches and Paintings 1943 - 1956 Paperback English, Finnish Translated by Jyri Kokkonen , Edited by Harry Kivilinna Share Timo Sarpaneva oli koulutukseltaan graafikko, ja hänen Taideteollisuus-keskuskoulun aikana (1940 - 1949) tekemiään koulutehtäviä ei ole aikaisemmin ollut esillä tai julkaistu. Vähemmän tunnettuja ovat myös hänen 1940-1950 - luvuilla suunnittelemansa tekstiilimallit. Tähän julkaisuun on lisäksi koottu hänen maalauksiaan ja grafiikkaa samalta ajanjaksolta, vuosilta 1943 - 1956. Timo Sarpaneva (1926-2006) oli monipuolinen kansainvälinen taiteilija ja suunnittelija, jonka ura ajoittuu seitsemälle vuosikymmenelle. Hän suunnitteli mm. tekstiilejä, painotuotteita, muovia, valurautaa, terästä, posliinia, lasia ja hopeaa. Hänen keksimälleen paperin- ja kankaanpainomenetelmälle myönnettiin kansainvälinen patentti. Myös Iittalan lasitehtaalla Sarpanevan keksimä Finlandia-pintalasitekniikka vaikutti suuresti seuraavien vuosien käyttö- ja taidelasin ilmeeseen. Jo Sarpanevan ensi esiintyminen taidemaalarina v. 1949 Helsingin Taidehallin nuortennäyttelyssä oli menestys. ?Sarpaneva on huomioon otettava koloristinen lahjakkuus, jonka hienostunut taidekäsitys antaa suuria lupauksia?, kirjoitti arvostettu taidekriitikko Edward Richter. Toinen sija Riihimäen lasitehtaan julistamassa kansainvälisessä lasinsuunnittelukilpailussa v. 1949, sytytti kiinnostuksen lasiin. Lasin parissa Sarpaneva työskenteli koko uransa ajan suunnitellen käyttö- ja taidelasia, sekä lasiveistoksia. Hänen teollista muotoiluaan on palkittu mm. Milanon Triennaleissa Grand Prix'lla. Sarpaneva on ottanut vastaan lukuisia huomionosoituksia mm. Pro Finlandia 1958 Maailman ensimmäinen muotoilun kunniatohtori, Royal College of Art, Lontoo 1967 Professorin arvonimi 1976 Akateemikko H.C., Academia de Diseno, University of Mexico City 1985 Kunniatohtori, Taideteollinen Korkeakoulu 1993

Hardcover with dusjacket,. ISBN 9780500519103. While Josef Albers' Bauhaus colleagues Klee and Kandinsky are household names, Albers himself has remained inscrutable. He is best known as the painter of the Homages to the Square, a series of over 2,000 seemingly tightly controlled experiments in the interaction of colour. Yet he did not begin these pictures until he was in his sixties, already several decades into his career as an artist, maker and theorist, much of it pursued in the United States following the Nazi dissolution of the Bauhaus in 1933. Misunderstanding of the Homages reflects a wider misreading of Albers' life and work. Married to the textile artist Anni Albers, his papers include letters from fellow artists John Cage, Robert Rauschenberg, Richard Serra and Eva Hesse; colleagues such as Buckminster Fuller and Philip Johnson; and fans and collectors ranging from the composer Virgil Thomson to the cartoonist Saul Steinberg. If his network of influence was surprisingly wide, so, too, were his interests. Albers started life at the Bauhaus as a glassmaker, ran their renowned wallpaper workshop, and designed furniture that is still in production eighty years later. He pioneered the study of colour at Black Mountain College, organized its famed Summer Sessions' with guest tutors from Willem de Kooning to Merce Cunningham, and went on to head the design department at Yale. Drawing on extensive unpublished writings, documents and illustrations, Darwent offers a broad view of not only the artistic and political currents, but also the friendships and rivalries that formed the backdrop to Albers' creative output.
Hardcover, 331 pages, EN, 285 x 220 mm, in good condition, with coloured illustrations, . ISBN 9783791312293. Josef Franz Maria Hoffmann (15 December 1870 ? 7 May 1956) was an Austrian architect and designer, involved in the founding of the Vienna Secession and the central figure of the Wiener Werkstätte which he founded in 1903. Among his best-known designs is the Stoclet Palace in Brussels, the pinnacle of Art Nouveau. His preference for squares and cubes (for Cubism) is characteristic, which earned him the nickname Quadratl-Hoffmann. His style gradually became more austere and abstract and his work became limited over time to functional, household attributes.
