Sonst sauberes und wohlerhaltenes Exemplar. -----Inhalt. Cultures contribute to the richness of this world through their uniqueness and variety - as do their material products. This is reflected in the ethnographic collections from Africa, the Americas, Southeast Asia, Oceania and East Asia at the Museum of World Cultures in Frankfurt am Main. Using exceptional photographs, 130 works are presented from a total of approximately 67,000 objects in the museum's collection. Based on their own individual and subjective points of view, the authors have selected particularly unusual 'ethnographica,' everyday objects or ritual items from an abundance of mostly similar objects made by indigenous societies. The objects in this volume are not only elucidated in their ethnological contexts, but are simultaneously described and interpreted as works of art. They are purposefully represented here as products of indigenous aesthetics and indigenous creative work to guide the attention of Western viewers to the artistic qualities of ethnographica. In order to better understand these works of art, the authors question the environment in which a work was created and which ideas about color, form, symmetry, balance, etc., might have influenced their artists. The common goal is to present what it is about these works that are exceptional, elaborate, other, perfect or in fact imperfect, harmonious or disturbing. However, the significance of an object is not invariably determined by its original heritage and purpose. Ideas and thoughts associated with an object also alter with a change of viewers and owners. Consequently, the effect of a work of art can only be comprehended within the analysis of aesthetic ideas and a prior knowledge by its respective viewers. Here, the various aesthetic concepts of indigenous and Western societies collide and ideally will lead to reactions that mediate between the differing perspectives. "Being Object. Being Art. Masterpieces from the Collections of the Museum of World Cultures, Frankfurt am Main" illustrates a central concern of the authors with regard to the presentation of non-Western art - for them, the much discussed question "art or context" cannot be answered with an apodictic "either/or," but rather only with a ".as well as.".

Hardcover. Condición: New. Estado de la sobrecubierta: New. 323 pages : color illustrations ; 29 cm. Published in conjuncation with an exhibition held at the Museum of World Cultures, Frankfurt am Main, Oct. 31, 2009-Oct. 31, 2010. Summary:"Cultures contribute to the richness of this world through their uniqueness and variety as do their material products. This is reflected in the high-quality ethnographic collections from Africa, the Americas, Southeast Asia, Oceania and East Asia at the Museum of World Cultures in Frankfurt/Main. For the first time, 130 ethnographica everyday objects or ritual items from indigenous societies taken from the abundance of a collection inventory comprising 67.000 items, are publicly presented from the point of view of 'the masterpiece' in an exquisite art project. The concept of 'masterpiece' comes from the century-old tradition of craft education. While a journeyman completed his apprenticeship with a 'journeyman's piece', only the one who was generally recognized as 'master' because of his excellent craftsmanship among many other requirements to be fulfilled received the title of a master. Selected from a personal point of view by the regional curators, the beholder is meant to discover the extraordinary, the elaborate, the different, the perfect, the harmonic or even the disturbing in the objects concerned. Although the presentation of the works the lack of space preventing from showing more than 98 items in the exhibition underlines the aspect of art, the objects are also interpreted in their ethnographic contexts".…

Pub Year 1991, See images for condition. [ ABOUT THE BOOK ] The Batak: Peoples of the Island of Sumatra Book by Achim Sibeth | Achim Sibeth's account presents the Batak, an Indigenous people of northern Sumatra whose homeland lies in the volcanic highlands around Lake Toba and the sacred island of Samosir. It describes their long isolation and the changes that followed missionary activity in the mid-nineteenth century and Sumatra's incorporation into the Dutch colonial empire. Batak warrior customs were prohibited and their witch-doctors became outcasts; in modern Indonesia, the Batak form a large minority active in public life. | The book records Batak cultural achievements through more than 650 illustrated objects, including wood carvings, bronze objects, jewellery, textiles and weapons from ethnographic museums and private collections in Europe. It also includes historical photographs from the Linden-Museum Stuttgart and the Amsterdam Tropical Institute, alongside more recent pictures. Together, these images document Batak customs and daily life from the period of their first contacts with Europeans. (MP).…
