NEW TITLES
5CONTINENTS
Dear reader, It is my pleasure to present you with 5 Continents’ new titles for the year 2015–2016. Once again non-European arts are significantly represented. Indeed, our titles dedicated to the art of Africa have made us a reference point in the world of primitive art. However, every art-loving reader will find a title to his or her taste in the pages that follow. I am unable to pick a favourite myself as I love them all. Nonetheless, I would like to take the opportunity to point out a few which, on account of their structure, subject, and iconography, are absolutely key. Two of the titles have been produced on the basis of our increasingly close partnership with the Baur Foundation in Geneva. In a comparison of the jewellery creations by the Maison Cartier with the pieces of oriental art in the collections of the Baur Foundation, Asia Imagined in the Baur and Cartier Collections illustrates the influence of Eastern art on the designs of the great Parisian jeweller during the early decades of the twentieth century. In parallel, with photographs of rare beauty, Alfred Baur, Pioneer and Collector displays the splendour and depth of the Baur Collection while also relating the life and career, unknown to most of us, of this entrepreneur. It is a tribute to a man but also to all collectors in search of the fine, the rare, and the unusual. We, too, indulge in research of this kind as it is our aim to find and present to you the arts of the most distant and mysterious countries. This is the spirit that underlies the publication of Embodied Spirits – Gope Boards from the Papuan Gulf, a large-format book on a strange and astonishing form of artistic expression on which no other title exists. It is also the case with Wooden Dreams, rich in information and photographs on the subject of headrests, everyday objects in many African countries but boasting an unsuspected artistic dimension. Naturally, there is a selection of titles dedicated to the arts of Europe. Do not miss Metamorphoses – In Rodin’s Studio, a superb book that will usher you into the studio of the artist, and which, due to its dimensions, wealth of images and written contributions, well represents the work of the master of twentieth-century sculpture.The book accompanies an important exhibition held at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in Richmond and the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, Massachusetts. Equally devoted to the art of the turn of the twentieth century, in partnership with the National Gallery of Ottawa, Monet – A Bridge to Modernity is an analysis of the art and history of the paintings dedicated to bridges by the great Impressionist. Lastly, I am pleased to announce the publication of The Creative Growth Book, which celebrates the fortieth anniversary of the Creative Growth Center in Oakland and its activity to promote the art of people with disabilities. Enjoy your trip around the world.

In the nineteenth and twentieth centuries it was fashionable to collect ‘curios’, objects so named because they aroused ‘curiosity’. Imaginatively decorated and made from different materials, some of which are still underappreciated, these exotic objects from China and Japan fascinated Westerners.They stimulated a fad for Asia, captivated art lovers, and had a profound influence of the graphic arts in Europe. This beguiling period kindled a passion for collecting in Alfred Baur (1865 – 1951) and for creation in Alfred Cartier (1841 – 1925) and his three sons, Louis (1875 – 1942), Pierre (1878 – 1965), and Jacques (1884 – 1941). While the jewels fashioned in Asian style by the Maison Cartier are generally known, their historical and cultural context is not, thus the idea arose of bringing these jewels together with the collections of the Baur Foundation, Museum of Far Eastern Art, based in Geneva. As one leafs through the pages, Asia Imagined slowly becomes apparent, like a treasure hunt. Diamond-studded pagodas and pavilions, busy scholars beneath the starry sky, nacreous moonlight scenes, shimmering phoenixes, jade dragons, and multi-coloured cherry blossom-like gems depict an imaginary land. The Cartier magic has its effect. Side-by-side with the creations of the Parisian jeweller, the imperial porcelains, lacquerware embellished with precious metals, embroidered silks, jades, coloured enamels, netsuke, sword hilts, and prints belonging to the Baur Foundation give their version of the marvels of China and Japan and install a unique dialogue, offering an exceptional opportunity to view two of the world’s most outstanding collections. Estelle Niklès van Osselt is a sinologist. She studied Asian arts and archaeology at universities in Geneva, London, and Beijing. Today an assistant curator at the Baur Foundation, Museum of Far Eastern Art, she previously worked for the Guy & Myriam Ullens Foundation Collection and Ullens Center for Contemporary Art (UCCA) in Beijing. Song Haiyang is a researcher at the Palace Museum of the Forbidden City, Beijing.

Published to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Alfred Baur’s birth (1865–1951) and the 50th anniversary of the Baur Foundation, Museum of Far Eastern Art, this book presents one of the major collections of Asian art through an opulent selection from the nine thousand Chinese and Japanese art objects today housed in an elegant private mansion constructed in Geneva during the late nineteenth century. Alfred Baur, Pioneer and Collector combines the history of the Far East with that of the man who founded the company A. Baur & Co. Ltd. in Colombo (Ceylon) in 1897. Guided by the stunning photographs of Hughes Dubois, readers will discover both the essence of the collection and the life of a man fascinated by the arts of the Far East. Sabre fittings, netsuke, lacquerware, prints, jades, and imperial ceramics: the illustrations show the diversity of the works and the quality of the collection as a whole. The precious Japanese objects, so meticulously worked and of technical perfection, reveal the outstanding skills of Japanese craftsmen, while the simplicity of the forms of the Chinese monochrome ceramics display the contemporaneity of the visionary master ceramists of the Song dynasty. Monique Crick is an art historian who specializes in Far Eastern art. She was an independent researcher commissioned to undertake projects for the musée national des Arts asiatiques-Guimet in Paris from 1991 to 1998, and for the musée Cernuschi after 1999. Since January 2003 she has been director of the Baur Foundation, Museum of Far Eastern Art in Geneva. Helen Loveday studied Chinese at Oxford University and wrote a doctorate on the archaeology of the Warring States Period. She has worked at the Baur Foundation since 2003, first as assistant curator, then as curator. She is also a part-time lecturer in the Art of China and Japan at Geneva University.

M ETA MO RPH O SES IN RODIN’S ST U DIO Edited by Nathalie Bondil and Sophie Biass-Fabiani
24.5 x 35.5 cm, 304 pages 475 colour illustrations Hardcover ISBN 9788874397150 £ 30.00, US $ 45.00, Can $ 55.00, € 40.00
Co-published with the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, Quebec
Here is a fresh look at August Rodin, one of the greatest sculptors of all time, thanks not only to his ability to capture the emotional and psychological complexity of human beings, but also his having profoundly renewed the very language of sculpture. Rodin’s unprecedented passion for the act of creation, rather than completion, changed the way the world thinks about sculpture. The ongoing interplay of accidents and chance in his work, his figures fragmented only to be reconstituted through his ingenious ‘cobbling together’, enabled him to interpolate his work in an endless flow of creation. The topic of metamorphosis is directly related to his work, without model or witness, in the privacy of his studio. Fragile plasters as well as bronzes, marble figures, drawings, watercolours, and photographs all attest to this creative ferment. But ‘studio’ must also be understood as the small art community that worked for and around the Master. It consisted of practitioners of specific trades to whom we owe the transformation of one material to another, one dimension to another, under his attentive guidance. This catalogue sheds light on the various processes of reprise and transformation, and takes stock of the sculptor’s prodigious creativity. It also features masterpieces like the two hundred or so figures fleeing The Gates of Hell — a work Rodin was to draw from for the rest of his career — and his celebrated Walking Man. Nathalie Bondil is director and chief curator at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts. Sophie Biass-Fabiani is heritage curator at the Musée Rodin, Paris.

French painter Claude Monet (1840–1926) is one of the most popular artists of all time. His paintings of water lilies, haystacks, cathedrals, and much more are all celebrated and beloved. For the first time, this book explores a new aspect of Monet’s work: his fascination, during the 1870s, with bridges. After moving to Argenteuil, a small town on the outskirts of Paris, Monet was drawn to the local footbridge near his house on the banks of the Seine. His painting of it, The Wooden Bridge, 1872, is a composition of startling modernity.The book begins with this work and explores Monet’s use of the bridge motif from 1872 to 1877 in the aftermath of the Franco-Prussian war and beyond. Beautifully illustrated and published to accompany a major exhibition, the book explores how Monet sought to establish himself as a leader of the avant-garde and how his paintings of bridges played a pivotal role in this context. Focusing on twelve major paintings by Monet, the catalogue further examines the Impressionists’ response to their ever-changing environment and the late nineteenth-century transformation of Paris and its suburbs. The publication consists of three sections featuring three essays followed by an illustrated chronology: Monet’s use of the bridge as a testing ground for his innovative ideas, the role of photography, illustrations, and contemporary influences; the expansion of Paris and the urban cityscape; the role of Impressionism in the context of the FrancoPrussian war.

Widely acknowledged as Africa’s master printmaker, Bruce Onobrakpeya is also a world renowned painter and sculptor, who stands in the vanguard of the first generation of contemporary artists who were educated in colonial Nigeria, but who set the pace and standards for innovation and professionalism in a new, post-colonial space. He has exhibited at Tate Modern, London, the National Museum of African Art, Washington, D.C. ,and at the Malmö Konsthall, Sweden. In this unprecedented volume an astonishing array of sumptuous colour and black-andwhite reproductions of drawings, paintings, prints, and installations by Bruce Onobrakpeya are accompanied by insightful and critical texts by scholars and students of Nigerian art. The full breadth of his more than five-decade career is represented with numerous examples of the many experimental painting, printmaking, and sculptural relief techniques that the artist has pioneered, including plastocasts and additive plastographs, and his diptilinen and triptilinen canvas treatments. A comprehensive time line details Onobrakpeya’s creative and professional activities from his first solo exhibition at Ughelli in 1959 to his ongoing Harmattan workshops held annually in Agbarha-Otor, his hometown. Interviews, incisive essays, an artist’s statement, and poems provide important context for this significant body of work. Dele Jegede is a noted art historian, painter, cartoonist, art critic, and art administrator. He is also a professor of art at Miami University, Oxford, Ohio.

In the same series:
Architecture, the second Art Brut Biennale, presents a selection of works from the Art Brut Collection (Lausanne), linked together by a common theme.The exhibition and the catalogue show the public new works by perhaps lesser-known authors, while taking a new slant on some historical pieces. Running the gamut from reality to utopia, Art Brut authors design architectures in resonance with their everyday lives or their memories, reorganising the space around them according to their own rules and needs.Their imagination and inventiveness carries them to distant, unexplored lands. Yet the vision of architecture that these Art Brut authors offer us here opens up a new dimension, escaping all practical considerations. Over 250 works by 52 creators of all origins — European, North American, or Asian — have been selected for the exhibition. This book presents colour illustrations, a short biography, and a bibliography for each artist. The diversity at the heart of this concept can be seen in the many different forms and techniques used, such as painting, drawing, sculpture, and embroidery. Among the artists: Aloïse, Juliette Élisa Bataille, Filippo Bentivegna, Georges Berthomier, Gregory Lee Blackstock, Benjamin Bonjour, Édouard Boschey, Luigi Brunetti, André Car, Diego, Paul Duhem, Paul End, Samuel Failloubaz, Florent, Jacqueline Fromenteau, Willem Van Genk, Jules Godi, Heer, Magali Herrera, Stefan Holzmüller, Testuaki Hotta, Norimitsu Kokubo, F. Kouw, Helmut Nimczewski, Nikifor, Prinz Otto, Émile Ratier, Royal Roberston, Hans Saletmeier, Victorien Sardou, Yuri Titov, Johann Trösch, Yuji Tsuji, Berthe Urasco, Pepe de Valence, Pascal Verbena, Scottie Wilson, Adolf Wölfli. Building on the legacy of some five thousand pieces collected by Jean Dubuffet between 1945 and 1971, the Art Brut Collection now owns over sixty thousand works, the fruit of nearly forty years of research. Architectures is the second volume in the series Art Brut – The Collection, published by 5 Continents and the Swiss institution, after Vehicles (2014). Pascale Marini-Jeanneret is an art historian with a degree in museology and library science. In Paris she worked with the contemporary artist Thomas Hirschhorn for several years and wrote for the magazine Art Press. Since 2002, she has been a curator at the Art Brut Collection in Lausanne, where she manages the collection and curates exhibitions. She has written extensively about contemporary artists and Art Brut authors. Laurent Danchin is a writer, lecturer, and art critic, a specialist in Art Brut, outsider art, and singular art. Graduating from the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris with an agrégation in modern literature, he taught in high schools in Nanterre and BoulogneBillancourt, near the capital, from 1972 to 2006. He is the French correspondent for the magazine Raw Vision and curated a series of exhibitions at Halle Saint Pierre, in Paris, from 1995.

VISIO NS O F A F RI C A Series directed by Constantine Petridis, Head Curator of African Art at the Cleveland Museum of Art, Ohio ‘Visions of Africa’ is a series devoted to the arts of Africa, grouped according to the continent’s different peoples. Each volume follows two main themes: the first is visual and aesthetic, taking the form of a rich selection of approximately sixty-two photographs of masterpieces; while the second is theoretical and contextual, exploring the significance of these items within the population that created them. The series is meant both for readers wishing to discover the arts of these populations and for those who intend to learn more about them.
Highly accessible, avoiding the intimidating feel of scientific literature, the books nonetheless contain significant annotated bibliographies and the most current data based on relevant field research. Author texts explore the origin of the items as well as the context of their use within the various African cultures. Their evolution and longevity are equally taken into consideration, often up to the present-day. Contemporary and historical field photographs are reproduced throughout the body of the text.

The Mossi people of Burkina Faso have a rich and complex history that is mirrored by the several types and styles of figures and masks they create. They came into being around 1500 A.D. when a large group of horsemen from what is now northern Ghana rode north into the valley of the Volta River and conquered the local farmers. The descendants of the conquering horsemen became the ruling class and used political art in the form of royal figures to validate their authority. Meanwhile the descendants of the conquered farmers became the spiritual class and made masks to represent the spirits of nature. The stylistic diversity of this art mirrors the several geographically divergent peoples who were conquered in 1500 and eventually became the Mossi we know today. Unlike several other West African peoples, the Mossi have not converted to Islam in large numbers, and so they continue creating brilliant art much as their ancestors did hundreds of years ago. Until the 1980s there was much confusion about the accurate attribution of Mossi art to the people who created it. This book makes clear that the Mossi have continued to create brilliant art that they use to this day to express ideas about politics and religion. Christopher D. Roy is Professor of Art History and Elizabeth M. Stanley Faculty Fellow of African Art History at the University of Iowa. He has written extensively on African art and on the art of Burkina Faso. He has produced twenty-six commercial DVDs on art and life in Africa. G u ro Anne-Marie Bouttiaux

Art lovers well know the works of the different groups of peoples generally referred to as ‘Guro’ who live in the centre of the Ivory Coast. Close to the Wan, Baule, Yaure, and Bete, the Guro have maintained close contacts with their neighbours, and reciprocal influences are apparent in their various artistic creations. Masks have a particular importance that goes well beyond the value attributed to them for their aesthetic qualities on the art market. These objects might even be considered emblematic, having till now allowed those who have defined themselves as Guro to lay claim to this identity.Whereas the French colonization largely weakened the prestige of those men whose power resulted from their hunting and war activities, the continuation of complex rituals that entailed the use of masks allowed the men to preserve a form of political and religious control. By diversifying the categories of masks between, on one hand, those that receive blood sacrifices to honour spiritual entities, and those, on the other hand, made more for entertainments given at funerals, political demonstrations, and tourist events, the Guro have reinvented, regalvanized, and readapted perfectly integrated rituals to a contemporary society in permanent change. Anne-Marie Bouttiaux is an anthropologist and art historian. Today she works with the Laboratoire d’Anthropologie des Mondes contemporains (LAMC) at the Université Libre de Bruxelles and with the workshop Danse comme Objet anthropologique at the CNRS in Paris. She conducts field research in West Africa, mostly in the Ivory Coast, Guinea-Bissau, and Senegal. She organizes many exhibitions.

WOOD EN DREA MS E A S T A F R IC A N HEA DR EST S Edited by Eduardo López Moreno

Headrests are simple, utilitarian objects. Widely used across Africa, they are predominantly found in the eastern, central, and southern part of the continent. Also known as ‘neckrests’ or ‘pillows’, headrests are valuable and very personal objects that are indispensable to everyday life. They are made to sleep on, to rest the neck, to sit on, and to protect the elaborate coiffure of their owners. At first sight, they appear to be devoid of any symbolic content. This functional utility has confined them through history to the realm of mere objects. Headrests are not that simple, though. They transcend their material purpose to become something more. In many instances, their design, inherent beauty, technical mastery, and uses give them a multi-purpose value and a multi-layered meaning. They are objects with ritual and magical intent concealed inside their utilitarian function. Headrests can be flaunted as status symbols that differentiate chiefs from ordinary people, rich from poor, diviners from healers, farmers from shepherds, and sedentary from nomadic. The volume features full-colour pictures of very rare and fine headrests that have never before been published. Short texts introduce selected pieces among the 230 works that have particularly interesting, well-documented backgrounds. This book is a journey through ethnicity, anthropology, aesthetics, creativity, tradition, and spirituality. A journey to a part of Africa that materializes through a simple artefact that sometimes dreams to become art: a dream that starts with resting the neck on a piece of wood. Eduardo López Moreno is a collector and expert on African art. Former Director of Research for the United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat), he has spoken at prestigious universities in Belgium, the US, and Mexico.

M I C RO MO NUMENTA LITY A TRIB UTE TO MINIAT U R E WO R KS O F A FR IC A N A RT Edited by Bérénice Geoffroy-Schneiter
23 x 23 cm, 264 pages 140 colour illustrations Hardcover Bilingual edition: French and English ISBN: 9788874397167 £ 35.00, US $ 55.00, Can $ 66.00, € 48.00
Micromonumentality is the first title in a new series, Micro-Africa, which aims to highlight the artistic and cultural value of miniature objects made in Africa. The whole series will be based on a single private collection. Forthcoming titles will be dedicated to different ethnic groups and/or varieties of objects (jewels, talismans, containers, boxes, fetishes). The first volume introduces the concept behind the series, offering a broad overview of objects and materials created and used by a large number of different African ethnic groups. With superb full-page photographs and close-ups of single details, Micro Monumentality extols the wealth of expression found in talismans, weights, boxes, containers, fetishes, jewels, and other objects made from wood, ivory, bone, bronze, iron, aluminium, and stone. None of these exceed 15 cm (just under 6 inches) in height or length, and though indeed ‘microscopic’, they are as expressive as much larger works, and are even ‘monumental’ in their own right. Showcased here are approximately 150 objects from a unique collection of 20,000 pieces, purchased from renowned art galleries, exchanged between collectors, or found in Africa during decades of enthusiastic research. Representing the quintessence of African thought, religiosity, and prodigious formal inventiveness, this private collection is a celebration of the union of the minuscule, the sacred, and the precious. Including a long interview in which the collector talks about the origin of his passion, this book plunges the reader into a poetic odyssey of materials, forms, and rituals composed on a smaller scale. A graduate from the École du Louvre et de lettres classiques at the Sorbonne, Bérénice Geoffroy-Schneiter is an art historian and journalist who specialises in archaeology and ethnology. She has published many books on the art of costume and the primal arts and has been editor-in-chief of the review Tribal Art.

In the early twentieth century, face masks and figurative sculptures from Africa captured the imagination of admirers of art in Europe and North America. Collectors, curators, dealers, and scholars soon began recognizing the sculptures as Senufo. By the midtwentieth century, connoisseurs and scholars included composite zoomorphic helmet masks carved with gaping maws, sharp teeth, and pointy horns in the category of art they labeled as Senufo. For Western twentieth-century art experts, the word Senufo designated a discrete style associated with the cultural group of the same name. The multivalent Senufo label operates on many and at times contradictory levels. Constructed and deployed over decades in different contexts and with different interests at play, the name is a product of history. The Senufo label informs and is shaped by not only the experiences of people who identify or are identified as Senufo but also by the arts these people create and support. Drawing on archival, museum, and field-based data, Senufo Unbound: Dynamics of Art and Identity in West Africa explores historical foundations for the term Senufo and its use to label arts from western Burkina Faso, northern Côte d’Ivoire, and southern Mali. Richly illustrated with 281 colour and black-and-white photographs, the book re-examines the concept of Senufo-ness and expands the views of a dynamic region’s arts and identities. Susan Elizabeth Gagliardi is assistant professor of art history at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia. Her current research is based on twenty-two months of fieldwork in Senufo- and Mande-speaking communities of western Burkina Faso.

This gorgeous book highlights one hundred works from the celebrated collection assembled by Daniel and Marian Malcolm. Built over more than four decades with discipline, curiosity, and passion, it is one of the finest private collections of pre-colonial African Art, and as such serves as a model and a source of inspiration for new and seasoned collectors alike. While any private collection can only reflect a subjective point of view, documenting personal responses and interpretations, the collection of Daniel and Marian Malcolm is so high in quality and encyclopedic in content that it can offer a capacious general introduction to the topic of African art and further our understanding of the artworks’ source cultures. Focusing on pieces of the highest artistic quality, the Malcolms are especially fascinated by creative expressions reflecting the religious beliefs, social structures, and traditional values of sub-Saharan African peoples. The author concentrates on the diversity and depth of the collection, providing historical, sociological, and religious contexts while exploring the wellspring of the collectors’ love for African Art. Striking a balance between often published and lesser-known masterpieces from the collection, the present volume unveils to the public a number of key works for the first time. Heinrich Schweizer is the head of African and Oceanic Art at Sotheby’s, where he is credited with introducing new cataloguing standards for African Art.

The Silence of the Women: Bamana Mud Cloths is the first full-length scholarly book entirely devoted to an African art form created by women of the Bamana people in Mali, West Africa. These traditional mud-dyed textiles have typically been treated as craft but, here, they are presented as a complex art form. Sarah Brett-Smith sensibly explores the hidden cultural testimony written into the mud-cloth patterns, documenting women’s silent visual commentary on the events that dominate their lives — excision, arranged marriage, childbirth, and death. Combining art history with anthropology, she reconstructs with exquisite subtlety and patience the existence of a savoir-faire that has had to deny its own existence. This book is a decisive contribution to our understanding of female knowledge and the ways in which this knowledge is preserved and transmitted to the next generation. It engenders an artistic and emotional understanding of the shadowy world and pregnant silences of Bamana women. Sarah C. Brett-Smith is a professor at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey. She specializes in the study of Bamana ritual art and medicine with a focus on the muddyed cloths painted by Bamana women.

A fascinating collection of the wooden ritual objects called ‘spirit boards’ made in the Papuan Gulf of New Guinea. They represent spirits that protect clans from sickness, evil spirits, and death. The first book devoted exclusively to the subject sets the individual works in their local context with historical and field photographs. The sculptural forms called ‘spirit boards’ are known by different names in the numerous ethnic regions of the Papuan Gulf, and are called gope in several languages. Traditionally, boards were made with wood from discarded canoes, usually decorated with carved and painted designs on one side. The boards were carved by important men of an extended family or clan. In the late nineteenth to early twentieth century, men lived apart from women and uninitiated boys. Their houses had designated areas or shrines created for the display of items that indicated personal status and clan identity. Multiple boards were placed in these shrines and served as reminders to their owners about their responsibility to the clan and the community. Embodied Spirits is the first book devoted exclusively to the subject and presents the numerous styles of spirit boards. Full-page colour photographs illustrate the boards of each region, selected from noted international and private collections. The description includes detailed collection history, provenance, publication, and exhibition information for each work. Additionally, contextual historical photographs show the actual spirit boards in situ or similar examples from corresponding time periods. Virginia-Lee Webb is former Research Curator and Senior Research Scholar at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, in the Department of the Arts of Africa, Oceania, and Americas, where she organized twenty exhibitions for the museum. She also worked at the Museum of Primitive Art, which merged with The Metropolitan Museum. She is currently a consulting curator for several museum projects.

One of the first people in Europe to consider the gifts which the Aztec ruler Montezuma gave to Hérnan Cortés as works of art was Albrecht Dürer: ‘Nothing I have yet seen has given me such joy as the objects brought to the king from the new gold countries […] Some pieces display an extraordinary skill; I have been astonished by the ingenuity of the inhabitants of those far distant lands’, he wrote. It was 1520 and those works had been sent to Brussels. The five centuries that have passed since the beauty of these objects was first noticed seem not to have been enough for the ancient cultures of Latin America to be fully understood. This catalogue of pre-Columbian art is a fresh attempt to examine and come to terms with artworks produced by a section of mankind that came to the attention of Europeans only after the voyages of Columbus and other explorers. It illustrates the collection of pre-Columbian art of Giancarlo and Inti Ligabue, one of the few collections of its kind in Italian hands: over 150 pieces from Mesoamerica and South America, an extraordinary corpus of objects that give testament to the excellence achieved by ancient artists. But it also tells the story of certain rare objects which belonged to the Medici Collection, one of Europe’s greatest treasures. Among these are two atlatls, spear-throwers covered in gold-leaf from the Aztec or Mixtec cultures, a Taíno necklace dating from the fourteenth or fifteenth century, and a Teotihuacan stone mask. These objects are accompanied by pieces from private European collections and a number of significant artworks from the Quai Branly Museum in Paris. Essays by leading scholars and archaeologists, such as C. Phillips, C.F. Baudez, J-M. Hoppan, J-J Leyenard, F. Kauffmann Doig, C. Cavatrunci, D. Domenica, and M. Polia, weave both scientific and humanistic interpretations of Amerindian thought.The Giancarlo and Inti Ligabue Collection of masterpieces of ancient Latin American cultures is part of a huge and broad-ranging hoard of objects gathered over a period of almost fifty years. Adriano Favaro has been in charge of the culture section of the daily Il Gazzettino for years, as well as being editor of Ligabue Magazine. Jacques Blazy is an internationally known expert in pre-Columbian art and the organizer of the exhibition. André Delpuech is the heritage curator of American Collections at the Quai Branly Museum, in Paris, and the chairman of the scientific committee.

The aim of this exhibition catalogue is to establish a dialogue between the historical past of the timepiece, the work of designers who produce watches or clocks, and visual artists who work with the concept of time. Each of these domains has its own particular resonance, its poetic baggage and aesthetic references. The intention is to create coherence and harmony between the past and the present. The catalogue is divided in two main sections. The first one is an historical section presenting a look at six centuries of watches, from 1550 to 2015, chosen to show how the display of time has evolved, focusing on unusual formats and highlighting the watchmakers’ inventiveness and artistry. A series of further sections illustrate specific aspects of time display and make connections with the work of contemporary designers and visual artists: mystery time, night time, projected time, retractable hands, windows, etc. The second section is dedicated to designers and visual artists: what shapes, media, and spaces do designers and visual artists turn to when they want to show time, or hide it, play with it, or even stretch it out? From the conceptual design of Maarten Baas and his Real Time project to the monochromatic Orologio by Swiss artist Valentin Carron, with a section on the theme of the clock, the concept of time is brought right up to date, including the perspectives of practical ingenuity, humour, intelligent quotation, and poetry. Chantal Prod’Hom is director of Mudac, Musée de design et d’arts appliqués contemporains, Lausanne. Fabienne Xavière Sturm is honorary curator of the Geneva Museum of Watchmaking and Enameling.

World War I could be called the ‘war of the camera’. While earlier conflicts were documented using photography, WWI represented a turning point in how the medium was applied and by whom. Both the Allied forces and the Central Powers employed official photos to spy, to provoke, and to persuade—a study in strategy, censorship, and the constant need to whip up public support for the cause. In sharp contrast, the importance of photography for personal use was undeniable. For soldiers and those left behind, studio portraits and photo albums created permanent records of lives that were suddenly placed at risk. Published on the 100th anniversary of the beginning of WWI, this book brings together a diverse, remarkable selection of images that illustrates the beginning of photography’s inextricability from modern warfare. Ann Thomas is curator of the Photographs Collection at the National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa. Anthony Petiteau is responsible for documentary studies at the Musée de l’Armée, Paris. Bodo von Dewitz, former assistant director, is chief curator of the Photographs Collection at the Ludwig Museum, Cologne.
