Hardback. Zustand: Good. Death and bomb threats over an art exhibition! A major battle with the mayor of New York City and the New York Times! Looking back, Arnold Lehman, director of the Brooklyn Museum, and his colleagues were not prepared for what was to happen. No one could have anticipated that SENSATION: Young British Artists from the Saatchi Collection would become the biggest art story in the history of art history. It has taken him two decades to fully absorb and clearly reflect on what happened at the Brooklyn Museum in 1999-2000. The intense controversy swept the exhibition, the museum, and Chris Ofili's The Holy Virgin Mary painting to international attention for six months. While 175,000 people saw the exhibition and millions read and heard about it daily, they never knew of the threats and challenges that kept the museum staff awake at night. Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who never saw the painting, focused his rage at The Holy Virgin Mary; rescinded the museum's municipal funding to force it to close the exhibition; and attempted to evict it from its hundred-year-old landmark. The city's most conservative media and ultra-religious groups inflamed the conflict. SENSATION, selected from controversial collector Charles Saatchi's contemporary British art collection, was first shown at London's Royal Academy in 1997, to an outcry over the portrait of child murderer Myra Hindley. Its opening at the Brooklyn Museum in 1999 drew tabloid headlines such as B'klyn gallery of horror Gruesome museum show, and Butchered animals, a dung-smeared Mary and giant genitalia; The New York Times accused the museum of wrongdoing in high-profile but often false and inaccurate investigative reports, most dismissed earlier by the court. In a story as gripping as a fictional thriller, the mayor and city eventually settled with the museum, awarding it a permanent injunction, the restoration of city money, and substantial funds for its new entrance. AUTHOR: Arnold Lehman is Director Emeritus of the Brooklyn Museum and Senior Advisor at Phillips auction house.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Good. Dust Jacket Included. 1st Edition. English text.; Hardcover (with dust jacket).; 25.5 x 37 cm.; ; 2.1 kg.; 256 pages with 119 color plates.; Used with signs of wear on the exterior and interior. The dust jacket shows edge wear, several wear marks, scuffs and scratches on the front cover, spine and back cover. The top and bottom of the spine is scuffed and slightly chipped, tear at the top right side of the back cover. Interior with minor signs of wear.; This edition of One Hundred Famous Views of Edo uses an original typeface designed by Alpha Omega especially for this book. The typeface is called Hiroshige, in honor of the artist of this series. The type is designed to create an active interplay between the text and the full-page illustrations, with an Asian, calligraphic flair.; Hiroshige's One Hundred Famous Views of Edo, actually composed of 118 splendid woodblock landscape and genre scenes of mid-nineteenth-century Tokyo, is one of the greatest achievements of Japanese art. The series, reproduced here in its entirety for the first time in a Western edition, contains many of Hiroshige's best-loved and most extraordinary prints. It is a celebration of the style and world of Japan's finest cultural flowering at the end of the shogunate. Like Venice and Florence in the 14th and 15th centuries, or Paris in the age of the Impressionists, the city of Edo, with its superb landmarks and its festive display of a uniquely elegant urban life, exerts a special and compelling fascination. Hiroshige, perhaps the most brilliant of the ukiyo-e printmakers, revealed the panorama of his city's activities with subtle and vivid visual anecdotes: fireworks seen from the river, fashionable geishas on parade, the kabuki district at night, intimate moments in the gardens and teahouses. But more than a historical document, the views are really vignettes presented from a remarkable variety of vantage points-aerial perspectives, multiple viewpoints, framed repoussoirs - and incorporate the natural beauty and atmospheric effects of every season crisp autumn moonlight, cherry blossoms and irises in the spring, summer rain on the waterways, and temples in the winter snow. It is a tour de force of artistic vision and printmaking craftsmanship that epitomizes the inventiveness of ukiyo-e art. This volume is printed in Japan and has been reproduced from an exceptionally fine, first-edition set in the Brooklyn Museum of Art to insure maximum fidelity to the original prints. The set is completed by a supplementary design and table of contents. In his introduction, Henry D. Smith II explains the world of Edo in its twilight before the Meiji Restoration and the beginnings of a modem urban society. Each plate is accompanied by a commentary that discusses its artistic and cultural interest in detail. For anyone interested in Japan, the One Hundred Famous Views of Edo is perhaps the finest guide and one of the greatest legacies Imaginable.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - America's Hidden Treasures offers a richly illustrated journey through the cultural fabric of the United States, spotlighting 101 less acclaimed museums and collections across the country.Moving beyond the familiar landmarks of New York, Washington, and Los Angeles, the book uncovers a surprising and diverse landscape of art, history, and Americana found in small towns and unexpected urban corners - from the National Music Museum in Vermillion, South Dakota, to the Stark Museum of Art in Orange, Texas, the Alaska Native Heritage Center in Anchorage, and the Hill-Stead Museum in Farmington, Connecticut. What distinguishes this volume is its authoritative and deeply personal approach. Arnold Lehman, Director Emeritus of the Brooklyn Museum, invited scores of museum colleagues and collectors to recommend institutions they felt deserved wider recognition. The result is a carefully curated selection shaped by the insights of those closest to America's cultural heritage. Each featured museum is chosen for its individuality, curatorial excellence, or remarkable holdings. Some occupy architecturally significant buildings, while others are modest spaces housing extraordinary collections. Rather than offering exhaustive surveys, the book highlights select works from each institution - singular artworks, rare artefacts, and intriguing objects - accompanied by concise, engaging commentary that brings their stories to life. Celebrating the local, the independent, and the unexpected, America's Hidden Treasures reveals cultural institutions often overlooked yet rich in meaning and visual wonder. With more than 900 images, it is an essential volume for museum lovers, cultural travelers, and anyone curious about America's hidden heritage - published fittingly during the 250th anniversary of American independence. - Showcases 101 less acclaimed museums across the United States, revealing extraordinary collections beyond the major cultural centers. - An authoritative, expertly curated selection, based on recommendations from museum professionals and collectors. - Features over 900 images and engaging commentary, highlighting standout objects and stories.…
