Asia in Amsterdam
The Culture of Luxury in the Golden Age
€ 40,00 € 9,90
Lavishly illustrated ‘Asia in Amsterdam’ discusses the Asian luxury goods imported into the Netherlands during the 17th century and demonstrates the overwhelming impact these works of art had on Dutch life and art during the Golden Age. Written by a team of 30 international scholars, this volume presents seven essays and catalog entries on 150 works of art, including Dutch and Asian paintings, textiles, ceramics, lacquer, furniture, silver, diamonds, and jewelry. From the Dutch settlements throughout Asia?including Indonesia, India, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, China, and Japan?Dutch maritime traders brought an astonishing range of luxuries back to the Netherlands. Dutch consumers were enthralled with these foreign goods, which brought new colors, patterns, and textures to their interiors and wardrobes. This catalogue weaves together the complex stories of these diverse works of art and presents fascinating portraits of the dynamic cities of Amsterdam and Batavia (Jakarta)?the Dutch trade center in Asia during the 17th century. Karina H. Corrigan is the H.A. Crosby Forbes Curator of Asian Export Art at the Peabody Essex Museum. Jan van Campen is Curator of Asian Export Art at the Rijksmuseum. Femke Diercks is Curator of European Ceramics at the Rijksmuseum. Janet C. Blyberg is Assistant Curator for Exhibitions and Research at the Peabody Essex Museum.

Power & Other Things
The project takes its name from the demand for the transfer of power and other things to the newly independent Indonesia in 1945. It travels through time, from European colonial occupation through the development of the republican state to the trans-national contemporary cultures of today. It looks at the various international exchanges that happened in the territories of contemporary Indonesia, through the images and ideas of artists. These exchanges were of different kinds: trade, culture, religion, ideology and war. They produced a variety of results: violence, oppression, racism, creativity, spiritual awakening, and other things. The ideologies and challenges of modernity are common ways in which Indonesia has been depicted by others and has defined itself over the period. As this modern period recedes into history, the project will seek ways to remember how it has influenced contemporary understanding and ask the current generation of artists to look back in order to rewrite the past and potentially create the conditions for a different future. The catalogue and the exhibition will follow a broad chronological narrative, allowing readers and visitors to learn more about how this huge archipelago has changed over the past two centuries and to observe how it has responded and adapted to influences originating from both inside and outside the islands. The influence of the imperial Dutch and Japanese occupations naturally form a significant element in the narrative of the exhibition as does the constant struggle for different forms of independence or equal treatment by the Javanese and other Indonesian cultures. The importance of Chinese and Arab influence on Indonesia's cultural history will also feature as the exhibition tries to look for alternative ways, alongside the post-colonial, for understanding the present. The presentations will include work made during the residencies as well as new commissions.kunst
Mittelalterliche Bildwerke aus Utrecht 1430-1530
The catalogue presents medieval Utrecht sculpture from before the Iconoclasm, the period when mobs destroyed many images in the city's Catholic churches. The masterpieces shown range from monumental altarpieces, replete with statues, sculptures of saints in various dimensions and versions to comparatively small, yet highly detailed, pipeclay figures. Revealing the full splendour of Netherlandish art before the Golden Age, the catalogue demonstrates that it was not the Caravaggisti who first cast the light of the art world onto Utrecht. Some 100 years before the great Baroque painters graced the stage, Dutch sculptors and carvers enjoyed an international reputation, and were exporting their artefacts to north, south and east Europe.kunst
Pierre-Joseph Redoute
Pierre-Joseph Redouté (1759-1840) is the undisputed master of botanical art. His illustrations of flowers occupy the intersection of art and science, and they represent a unique fusion of botanical precision with artistic elegance. This richly illustrated publication presents a wide selection of Redouté's books, drawings and watercolours. Several short essays by Dutch and French specialists deal with different aspects of his art. As court artist to Queen Marie-Antoinette and Empress Joséphine, Redouté drew extraordinary flowers and plants from the Jardin des plantes and the gardens of Malmaison, which made him the darling of Parisian society. Napoleon Bonaparte presented his books as gifts to the crowned heads of Europe, and his pictures illustrated the works of the most eminent scientists of his day. His most famous books, Les Liliacées and Les Roses, are among the milestones of botanical literature. The Teylers Museum was presenting the first retrospective of this artist's work in the Netherlands.kunst
