Paperback. Condición: Very Good. Furniture has star qualities unlike any other object: It is both functional and decorative, yet it can connect us to history and far-flung places around the globe in the same way a Renaissance painting sends us back in time or a photograph takes us to a beloved overseas locale. Furniture also appeals to four of our senses at once: we see the way it makes an otherwise dull room into a glamorous one; we touch its sleek modern lines and soft fabrics; we hear hinges creaking; we smell the rich scents of antique wood and leather. The authors, each of whom are experts on furniture, share their knowledge of its value and importance from an intellectual and emotional perspective, and describe how best to assess it from an aesthetic one, exploring styles, techniques and materials. They introduce twenty golden ages, from the ancient world to the twentieth century, by way of such rich moments as Ming in China, Italian and French Baroque, Chippendale in England, the designs of Newport and Philadelphia in America, Neoclassicism in France, Russia and Sweden, Biedermeier, Shaker and Art Deco. They also spotlight the most brilliant contemporary international designers, both those who see furniture as akin to fine art and those who simply enjoy the craft involved. They explain how your own star piece can enrich an interior with glamour, drama and personality and advise on how to commission a unique handmade piece and buy antique furniture. Two of the fields foremost experts David Linley, who rose to the head of his profession after founding his own firm in 1985, and Charles Cator, who holds special responsibility in furniture and decorative arts at Christies International provide unsurpassable guidance, with their intimate understanding of the subject from both a commercial and enthusiasts perspective. Combined with Helen Chislett, who offers insightful comments from her experience as a writer on decorative arts, no group of authors is better suited to discuss these topics. Their illuminating text is supplemented by rich and varied illustrations details of carving, ornamentation and upholstery, views of different styles of furniture used in historic and contemporary interiors, original drawings, and spectacular pieces, both antique and contemporary. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…

PROLIFICALLY ILLUSTRATED in full-color and black-and-white photography (many full-page) with accompanying descriptive captions. "Photographer James Rudnick moved to Brooklyn, New York in 1977 and almost immediately began to document two nearby landmarks: the Statue of Liberty and the Brooklyn Bridge. As preparations commenced for the centennials of these magnificent structures-in 1983 and 1986-Rudnick was drawn to the restorations, spending countless hours suspended above the bridge's cables or hidden within the statue's wrought-iron armature to record the intricate process of rebuilding and refinishing. In the late 1980s and the 1990s, he turned his camera on the renovations of two more of New York's grand places: the New York Public Library and Grand Central Terminal." 184 pages. "Gotham Restored: The Preservation of Monumental New York" gathers more than 150 of Rudnick's photographs-from close studies of dedicated conservators at work to vertigo-inducing panoramas taken high in ceilings or atop towers-into a unique exploration of the great architecture of New York. The comprehensive portfolios not only present compelling evidence of the vital importance of historic preservation but also lovingly portray four masterpieces that represent the American character nationally and internationally, four architectural icons that are integral parts of and outstanding works in the spectacular cityscape of New York."

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. The last two decades have seen a great explosion in the diversity, functionality, and beauty of modern garden design. The first major survey of contemporary private gardens, this book explores the imaginative ideas behind landscape design today. Lush color photographs, supported by plans, drawings, and lively commentary, thoroughly document gardens by twenty-eight leading landscape architects, featuring work in the United States, Europe, Japan, and Australia. An international roster of designers is represented here, illustrating acknowledged masters, such as Dan Kiley and Ian Hamilton Finlay, in addition to vital young talents, including Kathryn Gustafson and Susan Child. In each of the categories in Paradise Transformed -- tradition, abstraction, innovation, and exploration -- a distinct approach to the private landscape is revealed, achieved in original ways by each designer. The modernist aesthetic, translated from architecture, painting, and sculpture, gives form to these marvelous private spaces. Architectural and artistic influences displayed in these gardens include Art Deco, Cubism, Surrealism, Modernism, Postmodernism, Minimalism, and the Earthworks of the 1960s and 1970s. Some of the main tenets of the contemporary garden are: greater emphasis on gardens for personal use, not just plant display; the rejection of historical styles as total models and the incorporation of new concepts involving technology, architecture, and site; a variety of design themes, including symmetrical, asymmetrical, and curvilinear modes and their interplay; and a breakthrough to an ecological and regional awareness of the landscape.

288 pp.; 26.9 x 20.8 cm.; sewn bound; black-and-white & color; edition size unknown; unsigned and unnumbered; offset-printed; Monograph on museums by Victoria Newhouse. Includes an index. "The last thirty years of the twentieth century saw the birth of more than six hundred art museums in the United States alone, with equal proliferation in much of Europe. Such projects as Frank Gehry's Guggenheim in Bilbao and Richard Meier's Getty Center in Los Angeles have dominated television newscasts and newspaper headlines worldwide. The success or failure of these new museums, in aesthetic, educational, and financial terms, results from a variety of factors, none more important than their architecture. In this unique investigation, architectural historian Victoria Newhouse challenges many hitherto accepted premises of museum design. She demonstrates that new museums are often based on old concepts that no longer apply. This unvarnished analysis is informed by interviews with museum directors and curators, collectors, artists, and the architects themselves. Newhouse divides her discussion according to the dominant characteristics of the museums: private collections, single-artist museums, sacred spaces, artists' self-created sites, and museum additions. In addition to Getty and Guggenheim Bilbao, the author discusses the Menil Collection in Houston, Texas; the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh; Kiasma Museum for Contemporary Art in Helsinki; Donald Judd's Chinati Foundation in Marfa, Texas; Metropolitan Museum of Art and The Museum of Modern Art in New York and many more." -- publisher's statement Very Good / Fine.

"In this unprecedented investigation, architectural historian Victoria Newhouse challenges many hitherto accepted premises of museum design. She demonstrates that new museums-with a social function equal in importance to that of the 19th-century opera house-are often still based on old concepts that no longer apply to contemporary art forms. This unvarnised analysis is informed by interviews with museum directors and curators, collectors, artists and the architects themselves." 288 pages.
