Damascus Tiles - Mamluk and Ottoman Architectural Ceramics from Syria
Architectural ceramic decoration is one of the most celebrated manifestations of the arts of Islam. Spanning a period from the 13th to the 20th century, the tiles featured in this book exhibit a rich range of influences from Persia, Turkey, China and even Europe. A renowned specialist in the field of Islamic and Indian art, Arthur Millner explores the historical context that allowed the uniquely creative achievement of Syrian craftsmen to flourish, and why tiles from this region are less restricted in artistic expression than those from better-known centers of production. The complex and interconnected nature of tile designs, techniques and color palettes is explored, highlighting what is distinctive about Damascus ceramics and how they relate to tiles produced in other parts of the Islamic world. Finally, the author traces the journey made by many of these tiles to the West, embellishing the interiors of wealthy clients as Islamic art became both fashionable and influential in late-19th-century art and design.

Breguet - Art and Innovation in Watchmaking
Abraham-Louis Breguet invented many of the standard components of today's most prestigious watches, earning the title "The Father of Modern Horology." The self-winding watch, the gong spring, the first shock-protection device and the enameled dial-all were created by Breguet. In addition, he invented the first travel clock, sold to Napoleon Bonaparte in 1798 and the first wristwatch, delivered to Caroline Murat, queen of Naples in 1812. Perhaps Breguet's most famous timepiece is the "Marie-Antoinette" pocket watch, which took forty years to make and was the most complex watch of its time. This fascinating, elegantly designed volume features more than seventy watches and clocks that were constructed by the Breguet company, and it contains many insights into the inner workings that made these objects so innovative and valuable. Engaging essays explore Breguet's personal history, the technologies he perfected and his vast international reputation-which survives to this day. This beautiful overview of Breguet's achievements will speak to anyone who treasures their watch-whether as an indispensable daily accessory, or as a prized piece of jewellery.Published in association with the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco.

Tato tragédie zasáhne do života mnoha lidí: pilota vrtulníku, jenž se zrovna chystá spáchat sebevraždu, protože ho opustila žena, vyhořelé učitelky, která pořádá kurz malování v plenéru, zaměstnance elektrárenské společnosti, který se rozhodne ukázat ženám, zač je toho loket... A jak to všechno dopadne? Zcela jinak, než jsme zvyklí z hollywoodských katastrofických filmů.

Dáma v zlatom
Za koľkými obrazmi sa skrýva toľko vášne a lásky, ale aj toľko tragédií? Fascinujúci príbeh diela Gustava Klimta a jeho modeliek, s ktorými si dejiny zahrali krutú hru.
Gustav Klimt patrí k najvýraznejším zjavom svojej doby a tento príbeh by bol výnimočný aj vtedy, keby končil dátumom jeho smrti. On však pokračuje takým nezvyčajným tempom a smerom, až by si mnohí protagonisti radšej priali, aby sa nikdy nestali jeho súčasťou.
Obraz Adele Blochovej-Bauerovej patrí k najvýznamnejším dielam moderného umenia. Jeho autorom je charizmatický muž s množstvom vzťahov aj nemanželských detí, žena na obraze pochádza z vyšších kruhov a jej židovská krv zohrá v celom príbehu oveľa väčšiu úlohu, než by si ktokoľvek na začiatku minulého storočia dokázal predstaviť.
Autorka knihy zachytáva viac než sto rokov dramatického živote strednej Európy a Viedne, ktorou sa prehnali umelecké avantgardy, ale aj nacisti a povojnové roky sa niesli v znamení budovania mýtu o Rakúsku ako prvej Hitlerovej obeti. Kruté dejiny zmietli časť jej obyvateľov a s nimi aj všetko, čo kedy mali, vrátane vzácnych umeleckých diel, ktorých vznik ako mecenáši moderného umenia podporovali.
Kniha opisuje príbeh Gustava Klimta, jeho osudových žien a potomkov, ale aj boj Adelinej netere Marie Altmannovej o navrátenie ukradnutých obrazov a osudy desiatok významných osobností európskeho kultúrneho života, ktorých životy sa pretli za nečakaných okolností.

Vintage Home
Vintage Home is both a practical collector's guide - what to look out for - and a celebration of the period. It covers both serious and costly designer creations, which sell in major auction houses worldwide, and cheerful mass-produced kitsch, which you can pick up in car boot sales, charity shops, flea markets and yard sales. It looks at objects from around the world that were made for every taste and budget. Designers in the twentieth century were driven by the possibilities of mass-production and excited by the host of new materials. The period is also infused with the importance of women after the First World War and the emergence of a youth culture, and the new market for modern, fashionable goods from the 1950s onward. Where the older generation were used to 'make do and mend', the young embraced wholeheartedly the disposable society. They replaced the old with something new and fashionable, a taste epitomised by colourful plastic furniture and paper dresses. The consequence is a fabulous array of every type of object for the collector.
