Endpapers of book by Daniel Buren. "Since public museums came into being in the late 18th century, artists have looked upon them with a mixture of reverence, complicity, suspicion, and disdain. In The Museum as Muse, artists of many persuasions speak their minds about museums, their functions and spaces, their practices and politics, and their relationship to the art they contain. More than 60 artists are represented by a wide range of works: photographs of museum patrons by Henri Cartier-Bresson and Elliot Erwitt; 'personal museums' and 'cabinets of curiosities' by Charles Wilson Peale, Marcel Duchamp, and Claes Oldenburg; fantasies of the destruction or transformation of museums by Hubert Robert, Ed Ruscha, and Christo and more, including works created especially for this project by contemporary artists, and an anthology of statements and writings by artists about museums. This volume was published to accompany an exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art, New York." -- publisher's statement. Very Good.

A colour sample chart, with all samples present. The British Colour Council was established in 1930 to standardise colour definition across industries. In 1934 the Council published The Dictionary of Colour Standards. This present work, published in parts in 1938 and 1941, selects colours particularly appropriate to horticultural and flowers. 'The need for standardized colour terms for horticultural use requires no emphasis, without them accurate description is impossible.' (from the introduction). The book remains an invaluable aid for colour inspiration and matching and, as the original text makes clear, it has 'a use and value far outside its horticultural scope'. Few copies of the chart have survived because it was used so extensively as a working tool. Beaux Books specialises in fine and rare books on art and culture in the 20th and 21st centuries.
