For a new exhibition opening in October 2018 many pieces from his collection, which was dispersed at auction in 1842, will be reunited for the first time and displayed in their original settings within the castle. This beautifully illustrated accompanying book will describe the complex relationship between the house and its works of art, and allow a deeper understanding of the context and processes of Walpole's collecting and its relationship to the house.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49505777778961,"sku":"GOR010664289","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49551919087889,"sku":"GOR009800569","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53039798714641,"sku":"GOR014710632","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1785511807.jpg?v=1751026197"},{"product_id":"monumental-minimal-book-davoli-silvia-9782910055790","title":"Monumental Minimal","description":"\u003cp\u003eShowcasing 21 works by the artists who spearheaded minimalism--Donald Judd, Carl Andre, Dan Flavin, Robert Mangold, Sol LeWitt and Robert Morris--this catalog seeks to explore these artists' ambivalent relationship to the notion of the monument. In this respect, Dan Flavin's 1967 \u003ci\u003eMonument\u003c\/i\u003e, a stepped formation of white fluorescent tubes dedicated to Russian artist Vladimir Tatlin, is the chronological and conceptual starting-point of the exhibition. This emblematic work demonstrates the importance of constructivist theories for minimalism, and the European roots of an art often considered to be typically American. The exhibition looks into transatlantic exchanges and influences for the artists of the New York scene: Carl Andre and Robert Morris have both recognized the influence of Constantin Brancusi's work on their own, while Robert Mangold has acknowledged his admiration of Piet Mondrian. Alongside an essay by curator Philippe Vergne, \u003ci\u003eMonumental Minimal\u003c\/i\u003e includes full-spread installation views of the exhibition as well as archival photographs.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51061691777297,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51061694005521,"sku":"NIN9782910055790","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/2910055795.jpg?v=1750837649"},{"product_id":"jewish-dealers-and-the-european-art-market-c-18601940-book-silvia-davoli-9781350473683","title":"Jewish Dealers and the European Art Market, c. 1860–1940","description":"Before the tragedy of the Holocaust, many of the leading art and antiques dealers across Europe were Jewish, establishing dynamic cross-Channel, international and transatlantic networks. Aside from a few famous examples, however, we are only at the beginning of exploring the diversity of Jewish dealers' commercial and cultural worlds, and reflecting on the particular conditions that made possible their dramatic expansion within the profession.  Adopting a wider geography than any previous study, this book brings together a team of distinguished international contributors to consider Jewish art dealers as an interconnected cohort, tied together by common strategies and a shared vulnerability. After an extended historiographical introduction, the volume presents case studies and trends from 1860-1940, including: Jewish family businesses in Western Europe; the role of Jews as mediators of art from East Asia; the antisemitism and suspicion faced by Jewish dealers; Jews as theorists, exhibition makers and promoters of modern art ; and the geographical mobility and professional reinvention of Jewish dealers in times of economic and political crisis.  With a wide variety of illustrations, including paintings, decorative arts, historic photographs and archival material, the volume  adopts a mix of methodological approaches to analyse a key chapter in Jewish cultural history and in the history of the international art market.  Includes Afterword by Charles Dellheim, author of Belonging and Betrayal: How Jews Made the Art World Modern (2021).","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51629849674001,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":51629850001681,"sku":"NGR9781350473683","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51885454754065,"sku":"NIN9781350473683","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1350473685.jpg?v=1750953991"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-silvia-davoli.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
