hardcover. Zustand: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor.

Als Begleitpublikation zu einer Wanderausstellung zeigt diese Monografie zu Maira Kalmans Werk über einhundert Gemälde und Zeichnungen sowie ihre weniger bekannten Arbeiten in den Techniken der Fotografie, der Textilien und Stickerei. Das Werk der Künstlerin umfasst auch Bilderbücher für Kinder und Erwachsene, Uhren, die sie mit ihrem inzwischen verstorbenen Ehemann Tibor Kalman entwarf, Kolumnen für The New York Times, Stoffe für Maharam und Isaac Mizrahi, sowie Bühnenbilder für den Choreografen Mark Morris. Dieses Buch zeigt Maira Kalman aber auch als eine Sammlerin, Kommentatorin und Reisende. Durch eine many tables of many things-Installation, bei der die Künstlerin ausgewählte Gegenstände aus ihrem Leben und ihrem Atelier gruppiert, wird sie zu einer Listenführerin. In Essays wird Kalmans einzigartige Gabe, aus dem Gewöhnlichen das Außergewöhnliche zu destillieren, beleuchtet. Dieses Buch feiert Maira Kalman, die ihr Leben ganz dem Kunstschaffen verschrieben hat, auf fantastische Weise die vielen Bewunderer der Künstlerin, von den jüngsten Lesern bis zu den kritischsten Kunstkennern, werden begeistert sein. - Maira Kalman (Hebrew: ??; born 1949) is an Israeli-born American illustrator, writer, artist, and designer. Her work most widely held in WorldCat libraries is Fireboat: the heroic adventures of the John J. Harvey, a picture book she both wrote and illustrated. It won the annual Boston GlobeHorn Book Award for Nonfiction in 2003. Early life: Born in Tel Aviv, Kalman came to New York City with her family at age 4. She attended the High School of Music & Art, now LaGuardia High School, where she studied Art. Career: At age 18, Kalman met designer Tibor Kalman and in 1979, they founded the design company M&Co. The firm grew to be highly influential, creating work for Interview magazine, Restaurant Florent, the band Talking Heads, and The Museum of Modern Art. Kalman published her first children's book in 1985, entitled Stay Up Late, which illustrated the lyrics of musician David Byrne. After Tibor's death in 1999, she began creatively asserting herself, writing more than 20 books over the years. Kalman has written a series of children's books about Max Stravinsky, the poet-dog. She has done covers for The New Yorker, including one she did with Rick Meyerowitz called New Yorkistan. She created the sets for the Mark Morris Dance Group production of Four Saints in Three Acts, an opera by Virgil Thompson and Gertrude Stein. Kalman is also known for her illustrations for the 2005 edition of The Elements of Style, the popular guide to writing style, by William Strunk. Ms. Kalman wrote the monthly illustrated blog The Principles of Uncertainty for the New York Times for one year, ending in April 2007. The blog was published in a book of the same title, which was released in 2007 to critical acclaim. During 2009, Kalman wrote another illustrated blog in the New York Times called "And the Pursuit of Happiness" about American democracy. The blog was published as a book in 2010. The first chapter chronicles her visit to Washington, D.C. for President Barack Obama's inauguration. Kalman's work is also featured on Rosenbach Museum and Library's 21st Century Abe project. Kalman crafted the illustrations for author Daniel Handler's (a.k.a. Lemony Snicket) 13 Words in 2010 and Why We Broke Up in 2011. The two went on to collaborate on a series of illustrated books published by The Museum of Modern Art. Exploring MoMA's collection of photography.…
