gebonden / Hardcover, 624 pagina's, c. 150 illustraties in kleur, 21x26cm. ISBN 9789462622357. Delfts zilver uit de 16de en 17de eeuw behoort tot de top van de edelsmeedkunst uit de Lage Landen. Deze publicatie biedt een mooi overzicht van hetgeen er door Delftse zilversmeden vervaardigd is in de periode vanaf 1536 tot 1807, de periode van het Delftse goud- en zilversmedengilde. De lezer wordt meegevoerd naar de bloeiperiode van het Delftse zilver, de objecten, de vervaardigers en de opdrachtgevers. In de 16de en 17de eeuw bestaan de pronkstukken met name uit nautilusbekers, drinkschalen en speciale tafelstukken, terwijl in de 18de eeuw de nadruk meer ligt op kostbare toiletserviezen en spektakelstukken als koelvaten, kandelabers, terrines, kraantjeskannen en koffie- thee- en chocoladekannen. Dit boek maakt duidelijk waarom de zilversmeedkunst in de 17de eeuw hoger stond aangeschreven en kostbaarder was dan de schilderkunst en hoe zilver generaties met elkaar verbindt. Naast de circa 150 afbeeldingen en vele details van zilveren en vergulde zilveren voorwerpen, zijn alle merken en biografieën van de meester goud- en zilversmeden van het Delftse gilde opgenomen. Mede door de afbeeldingen van de merken is dit boek tot een onmisbaar naslagwerk geworden.
Relie, toile couleur bordeaux, jaquette illustree en couleurs, 285 x 335mm., 208pp., illustration tres profonde en couleurs. ISBN 9782702207710. Le bijou efface tout. Il fait fete et feu. Il fait flamber l'instant. Fragment d'extase incendie par l'admiration et le desir. On pense aux bijoux legendaires qui traversent l'Histoire, passent de l'un a l'autre, disparaissent soudain, entre couronnements et revolutions. Ils concentrent en eux tant de destins, de splendeurs et de miseres. Des joies, des chagrins, des amours et des deuils, des noces et des crimes leur sont attaches. Fortunes et revers, bonheurs, maledictions, dont ils emergent, indifferents aux cavalcades des hommes, grandis dans le desordre du monde. Bon etat.
304 pages, 24 x 30 cm. 425 illustrations, with 277 in colour. Cloth with dust-jacket. Text in English and German. . ISBN 9783925369766. Friedrich Becker was a goldsmith of world renown and undoubtedly one of the most outstanding artistic personalities of our day, truly altering the course of goldsmiths' work in the latter half of the 20th century. Becker was the creator of kinetic jewellery and well known as a sculptor and designer. His work is collected by many major museums and has featured in inumerable exhibitions. The purity of form in his work laid the foundations for a new aesthetic style in jewelllery. Stemming from his preoccupation with precision, he combined high standards of workmanship with a supreme sublety. In his jewellery "wearable" art was born. The book focuses on the extraordinary genius of Becker, a master craftsman and mentor, who would have welcomed this exploration of his work to inspire artists and art historians alike. A fascinating survey of the versatile creativity of the artist, who as an internationally acknowledged gold jeweller and designer of kinetic jewellery left his mark on the goldsmithery of the second half of the 20th century.
