Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Celebrating a great kinetic artist who liberated the machine from the 'tyranny of utility' and encouraged the unexpected with his contraptionsThis volume documents the first major Italian retrospective since his death of the work of Swiss artist Jean Tinguely (1925-91), one of the 20th century's greatest exponents of kinetic art. At the center of his work lies research into the functioning and intrinsic poetry of machines. Tinguely was among the first artists to use found objects that he then welded together, creating noisy and cacophonous machines whose movements were driven by motors. This monograph analyzes Tinguely's practice, providing detailed descriptions of the works in the exhibition, accompanied by an ample selection of contemporary and archival images. The volume also includes an essay that sets Tinguely's work against the background of the contemporaneous avant-garde, another on the role of sound and performance in his work in the context of the 1960s, an illustrated timeline of the artist's career and two reprinted texts written by Tinguely himself.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Touring the traditional craft workshops and historic palazzi that help to preserve Florence's exceptional art and architecture Picturesque medieval streets, breathtaking cathedrals and legendary art: there is much to love about the city of Florence, as its droves of tourists will tell you. Yet the city is not completely overrun by visitors, and Florence's locals are eyewitnesses to today's world while also heirs to a centuries-old history of tradition, creativity and independence.Livia Frescobaldi invites readers to discover the city that lies beyond the tourist realms, in the form of the age-old craft workshops and their ability to preserve all that makes Florence one of the world's most admired cities. Together with photographers Alessandro Moggi and Eugenia Maffei, Frescobaldi charts an itinerary through which to discover the arts and crafts. We visit the botteghe, or storefronts, housing these time-honored practices: framers, stonemasons working in marble or brilliant pietra dura, printmakers and ironworkers. Meanwhile, Frescobaldi also stops to show us some of the most historic palazzi still inhabited and cared for, such as the 13th-century villa home to fashion's Pucci family, or a former monastery-turned-mansion once belonging to Henry Brewster, an American expatriate in Florence. With essays rich in anecdote and admiration, Frescobaldi offers an intimate and original view of what it means to live in Florence today.Livia Frescobaldi grew up in Florence's Oltrarno district. As an appraiser, she has produced valuations for private estates and cultural sites across Italy. She also established the Associazione Amici di Doccia--which she heads--for research into and preservation and promotion of the Ginori porcelain manufactory.…
