Money in the Bank: The Katherine Kierland Herberger Collection
ISBN: 9780816649037 / Angielski / Miękka / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The penny bank craze of the twentieth century began quietly enough. Here, a slotted pottery pig from Scotland. There, a grimacing human face made in Bennington, Vermont. In 1793, penny banks first appeared in America, along with the first large copper pennies. Those who mistrusted paper currency saved their "hard" money in vessels of pottery, glass, and tin. In the 1890s, "China Pig" with a slit in his back sold for a dime. Plump pigs and pennies went together like thrift and future success. To this day, these iconic examples of American folk art and vernacular design are prized additions to...

Museum Skepticism: A History of the Display of Art in Public Galleries
ISBN: 9780822336945 / Angielski / Miękka / 330 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In "Museum Skepticism," art historian David Carrier traces the birth, evolution, and decline of the public art museum as an institution meant to spark democratic debate and discussion. Carrier contends that since the inception of the public art museum during the French Revolution, its development has depended on growth: on the expansion of collections, particularly to include works representing non-European cultures, and on the proliferation of art museums around the globe. Arguing that this expansionist project has peaked, he asserts that art museums must now find new ways of making high art...

Greeks of the Black Sea – Ancient Art From the Hermitage
ISBN: 9780892368839 / Angielski / Twarda / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The ancient Greeks traveled widely by sea and founded colonies in far-flung locations. On the north coast of the Black Sea were a number of such Greek settlements, places where the Greeks made contact with the local Scythian population. Greek goods were traded extensively throughout the region, and many of these often-luxurious articles eventually made their way into tombs.
From its wealth of such Greek finds from the Black Sea, the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg has lent some 175 Greek objects to an exhibition at the J. Paul Getty Museum at the Getty Villa. This richly... The ancient Greeks traveled widely by sea and founded colonies in far-flung locations. On the north coast of the Black Sea were a number of such Greek...

"Louisiana painting of the nineteenth century may be said to be story-telling documentary. . . . in the eighteen thirties we have a precise recording of hard core reality, flavored with an exuberant romanticism and seasoned with the delicious shudder of the Gothic novel. "Then came the daguerreotype. On January 15, 1839, S. F. B. Morse saw Daguerre's exhibit in Paris and wrote modestly that 'the two great wonders exhibited in Paris are the Daguerreotype and Morse's Electro Magnetic Telegraph.' ." . . From this time on, the influence of the photograph on painting becomes a factor,...
