Sedert zowat tweeduizend jaar is brons een van de meest geliefkoosde materialen van beeldhouwers in Azië. Het cultureel en religieus erfgoed van India, Sri Lanka, Nepal en Tibet weerspiegelt de weergaloze kwaliteit die op het vlak van bronsgieten werd bereikt. Religies als het hindoeïsme, het jainisme en het boeddhisme hebben deze kunstvorm aangewend om hun voorstellingen van goden en helden te vereeuwigen. De kunstenaars lieten zich leiden door gespecialiseerde handboeken met precieze voorschriften over iconografie en afmetingen. Zij gebruikten hoofdzakelijk de methode van de ?verloren-was' of cire-perdue . Het originele beeld in was werd in een omhulsel van klei gevat. De was werd weggesmolten en in de plaats werd het brons gegoten. Het kunstwerk bleef op die wijze uniek. Soms werd het beeld ook gedreven of gehamerd in koperplaat, zilver of goud.

Size: 305 mm x 240 mm. Pages: 352. Illustrations: 250 colour. Hardback with dustjacket. ISBN 9783897904651. The fascinating history of gemstones in art and jewellery Gemstones have always been, since time immemorial, heavily charged with meaning and have even been regarded as magical objects. For that reason they have also been an art medium since the early modern age and have shaped as art symbols - in the form of the crystal - both Romanticism and Modernism, for example in the works of Caspar David Friedrich, Lyonel Feininger and many more. In the latter half of the twentieth century, not only have such artists as Bernd Munsteiner, Ute Eitzenhofer and Bernhard Schobinger rediscovered the gemstone; through the Hochschule fur Edelstein und Schmuck Trier/Idar-Oberstein and other similar specialist institutions it is also undergoing a revival in today's art production - right up to Damien Hirst. Text in English and German.

Magie van de edelsmeedkunst" brengt meer dan honderd van dergelijke verborgen schatten samen en confronteert ze met stukken uit openbare verzamelingen en topstukken uit andere Belgische steden en uit het buitenland.

softcover, oblong, 87 pages full color. + silver marks + bibliography,exhibitions, museums After many years researching over one thousand G.A. Scheid items, Eric Schaling published in July 2018 this book. It is the first one of its kind, bringing Georg Adam Scheids story, his achievements, his many markets and his importance back in todays world. He touches about all aspects of the business, where it was located (not only Vienna), who represented it in Europe, the Americas, Russian Empire. The funny story of Scheid pieces, which were made for the Russian market, suddenly marked with a Faberge mark or that many designs, especially for the 1900 Paris World Exhibition, where made by J.M. Auchentaller, but later contributed to Koloman Moser or the amazing fact, that Scheid worked for all four of the world famous glassware producers: Lalique, Daum, Galle and Loetz (his company produced the silver mounts). Scheids success was based on the highest quality standards of his time.
208 pages, 21 x 28 cm, 164 colour illustrations. Hardcover. Text in English and German. . ISBN 9783897903302. Since the beginning of his creative work in 1980, Georg Dobler, the jewellery artist and lecturer at the University of Applied Arts and Science in Hildesheim, has engaged in working with geometrical forms. Also in the mid1980s, when he first drew on naturalistic elements, provoking an outcry in the jewellery world, his work was still bound by geometrical forms. It was exactly because naturalism was viewed as outmoded, however, that Dobler was viewed as a pioneer by the next generation of studio jewellery designers. The artist complements his casts from nature (exotic plants and beetles) ? Dobler sees himself as a collector of structures and forms ? with large, facetted stones as an artistic addition. Yellow to orange-glowing lemon citrine and tender lilac amethysts combine with the metal surfaces to create a shimmering play of colours. Pure silver shine is seldom found in Dobler?s work; his trademark is rather black chromium or oxidized silver surfaces that shine in iridescent black. Georg Dobler is not only a pioneer, he also finds inspiration among the great artists of early modern art. Thus in the mid1990s he drew on the abstract paintings of a Piet Mondrian, Wassily Kandinsky or Kazimir Malevich, who ignited his fantasy and inspired his compositions. ?Georg Dobler: Jewellery 1980?2010? spans the ?uvre of the Berlin jewellery artist from the early 1980s to the present. A breath-taking journey from geometrical forms to casts from nature, works with stones to his current work, which unite the entire creative work of the artist in a grand symbiosis.
hardback, dusjacket, Illustrations: 1194 b/w photos Pages: 256 ISBN 0764315684. This reprint of jewelry and hollowware catalog pages from Georg Jensen brings eagerly sought information together in one volume. Hard to find, the original catalogs have been widely dispursed and costly, yet they provide primary information to enable identification of thousands of pieces found on the vintage market today. The jewelry section presents women's and men's gold and silver designs, including those sold at the retail store in New York that represented a selection of American-made items, and those made during the 1940s which were difficult to identify previously. The enormous section on hollowware displays hundreds of designs from the late 1950s and early 1960s. During this period Georg Jensen designers expanded their range of tea sets, pitchers, bowls, etc. to include very popular modern forms based on Scandinavian design principles. These designs have remained among the most cherished Jensen forms. The catalog descriptions include the product numbers, original retail prices from the mid-century era, measurements, and designers. A special information list identifies forty-three Georg Jensen designs in museum collections around the world. This easy-to-use volume will become a standard reference for all the collectors, dealers, auction houses, and individuals who own and are inspired by Georg Jensen designs.
