Romantic English Homes
Romantic English Homes is an inspirational collection of truly timeless houses. Robert O'Byrne has gathered together a collection of some of England's most glorious homes including a rural farmhouse set in a quietly picturesque village and a fourteenth-century folly. Ever since the English aristocracy embarked on a Grand Tour in the seventeenth century, the passion for developing collections has been a national trait of England. As a result, the country's aristocratic palaces became repositories of treasure gathered from around the globe. But so too, thanks to the spread of an Empire providing goods from across the globe, did almost every residence in England. Romantic English Homes features 14 such houses. Large or small, old or new, they all convey an impression of massed objects intentionally mingling styles and tastes, the classical placed next to the gothic, tartan pattern competing with floral print. Decorated with defiant eclecticism, the buildings featured here indicate that although the Empire may have gone, the English love of collecting remains as strong as ever.Criss-crossing the country, from Dorset, Devon and Cornwall to East Anglia and Suffolk, from London to Staffordshire and Northumberland, it is both the romantic timelessness of these properties and their many-layered appearance that makes them so alluring.
Treatise on Toleration
A new translation of Voltaire's Treatise on Toleration, one of the most important essays on religious tolerance and freedom of thought A powerful, impassioned case for the values of freedom of conscience and religious tolerance, Treatise on Toleration was written after the Toulouse merchant Jean Calas was falsely accused of murdering his son and executed on the wheel in 1762. As it became clear that Calas had been persecuted by 'an irrational mob' for being a Protestant, the Enlightenment philosopher Voltaire began a campaign to vindicate him and his family. The resulting work, a screed against fanaticism and a plea for understanding, is as fresh and urgent today as when it was written.

Dělat okna tam, kde dříve byly zdi
Kniha „Dělat okna tam, kde dříve byly zdi“ se věnuje současné evropské figurativní malbě ze sbírky předního českého sběratele Roberta Runtáka. Je rozdělená do tří hlavních částí zpracovaných třemi autory, které se věnují jak stěžejním tendencím sbírky samotné, tak sběratelství a v neposlední řadě také osobě sběratele a jeho pomyslné cestě k sběratelství a umění jako takovému. Kniha má však i ambici k obecným přesahům. Především text britské historičky umění Jane Nealové Odcizený jedinec, ztráta sebe sama a otázka lidskosti je pozoruhodným exkurzem nejen do problematiky současné figurativní malby, ale také jistou úvahou nad současným stavem našeho bytí. Zaobírá se mimo jiné odcizením člověka a hledáním smyslu vlastní existence v kulisách dnešního světa, tak bytostně ovlivněného blahobytem, masovými médii a sociálními sítěmi. Právě na tato témata reagují mnozí autoři zastoupení ve sbírce. V knize je představeno více než třicet autorů. Kniha však není jen o významných autorech současné evropské scény, jako jsou Martin Eder, Daniel Richter, Tim Eitel, Jonathan Wateridge či Jake a Dinos Chapmanové, nýbrž zároveň o celé řadě mladých talentovaných malířů. Logicky nemůže být vyčerpávající, je ovšem jednou z mála zpráv o umělcích tvořících v současné době v Evropě. Důležitou součástí knihy je obsáhlý rejstřík autorů ve sbírce zastoupených, zahrnující jejich profily i výběr nejzásadnějších výstav. Kniha je bilingvní česko-anglická, je k ní připojen samostatný šestnáctistránkový katalog, který dokumentuje podobu stejnojmenné výstavy v Galerii výtvarného umění v Ostravě.
Japonsko
Kniha Japonsko je sestavena z výberu cernobílých fotografií, které vznikaly behem peti fotografických cest a studijních pobytu v Japonsku mezi lety 1997 a 2015. Soubor fotografií je ceským vhledem do svébytné japonské kultury a osobitou sociologickou studií každodenního života lidí v japonských velkomestech i na venkove. V knize se autor snaží médiem cernobílé fotografie zachytit dynamický život japonských obyvatel, ale též jejich tradice, historii, kulturu a zvyky.
Built on Bones
Imagine you are a hunter-gatherer some 15,000 years ago. You've got a choice - carry on foraging, or plant a few seeds and move to one of those new-fangled settlements down the valley. What you won't know is that urban life is short and riddled with dozens of new diseases; your children will be shorter and sicklier than you are, they'll be plagued with gum disease, and stand a decent chance of a violent death at the point of a spear. Why would anyone choose this? This is one of the many intriguing questions tackled by Brenna Hassett in Built on Bones. Using research on skeletal remains from around the world, this book explores the history of humanity's experiment with the metropolis, and looks at why our ancestors chose city life, and why they have largely stuck to it. It explains the diseases, the deaths and the many other misadventures that we have unwittingly unleashed upon ourselves throughout the metropolitan past, and as the world becomes increasingly urbanised, what we can look forward to in the future. Telling the tale of shifts in human growth and health that have occurred as we transitioned from a mobile to a largely settled species.Built on Bones offers an accessible insight into a critical but relatively unheralded aspect of the human story: our recent evolution.
The glass of the architects: Vienna 1900-1937
The second catalog dedicated to international developments in twentieth- century glass, after Glass from Finland in the Bischofberger Collection.
Published in collaboration with the MAK Vienna and LE STANZE DEL VETRO on the occasion of the exhibition in Venice, this volume presents over 300 works from the collection of the MAK Austrian Museum of Applied Arts/Contemporary Art in Vienna and private collections. It focuses, for the first time, on the history of glassmaking in Austria from 1900 to 1937, a period spanning the last decades of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the First Republic.
In the early twentieth century, a group of young architects, designers, and fine arts and architecture students developed a special interest in the process of glassmaking. They paved the way to the first pioneering developments in twentieth-century glass production as they gained a thorough understanding of the material. The collaboration between architects and designers created the style of Viennese glass, found in new projects such as the Wiener Werkstätte or the Austrian Werkbund.

Clay
Once upon a time pottery schools saw an increase in enrolments whenever the film Ghost aired on television. Today it is all year round. Not since the 1970s has there been this level of interest and appreciation for pottery and ceramics. The return to the handmade has been driven by our increasingly digital lives and there are now more makers, sellers and collectors than ever. There is also a new desire for unique objects made by hand and the imperfections associated with the marks of the maker. Pottery is the vehicle that most aptly captures this authenticity. From decorative pieces to the primarily functional to sculptural works pushing the boundaries of the medium, Clay surveys the richly creative output of over 50 studio potters from around the world. It is a celebration of a new generation of artisans working in clay, a snapshot not necessarily of what is happening at elite gallery level, but rather a behind-the-scenes look at the unique and eclectic offerings from small studios around the world.
Friedrich Feigl
Friedrich Feigl (1884, Praha – 1965, Londýn) byl malíř, grafik a ilustrátor výjimečně širokého záběru a rozhledu. Po uměleckých začátcích v Praze v první polovině 20. století, kdy se v roce 1907 zúčastnil první pražské výstavy skupiny Osma, doznal uznání i v Německu, kde žil mezi dvěma válkami, stejně jako později v Anglii, kam utekl před německou okupací Československa. Kniha, na níž pracoval mezinárodní autorský tým, sleduje spletitou Feiglovu životní a uměleckou historii a zkoumá celou škálu historických dokumentů, zachycuje veškerou šíři technik, které ve své tvorbě používal, ať již to byla olejomalba, akvarel, kresba nebo grafické techniky jako litografie, suchá jehla, lept a dřevořez. Pozornost je věnována také židovským a biblickým námětům, jež ve Feiglově díle postupně převážily a neoddělitelně se spojily s jeho vizí modernosti. Vedle toho se kniha zabývá rozmanitou sítí společenských a profesních vztahů, které si umělec budoval ve třech městech (Praze, Berlíně a Londýně), v nichž žil a tvořil. Tyto vztahy mu poskytovaly zásadní oporu v umění, pevné přátelské svazky a pocit sounáležitosti. Dvoujazyčná česko-německá kniha obsahuje obsáhlou biografii, soupis pramenů a anglické resumé.

Empire of Things
'Magnificent ...groundbreaking ...a triumph' Peter Frankopan, author of The Silk Roads 'A masterpiece, a delight to read ...a rare and beautiful thing' Gerard DeGroot, The Times What we consume has become the defining feature of our lives: our economies live or die by spending, we are treated more as consumers than workers, and even public services are presented to us as products in a supermarket. In this monumental study, acclaimed historian Frank Trentmann unfolds the extraordinary history that has shaped our material world, from late Ming China, Renaissance Italy and the British empire to the present. Astonishingly wide-ranging and richly detailed, Empire of Things explores how we have come to live with so much more, how this changed the course of history, and the global challenges we face as a result. 'I read Empire Of Things with unflagging fascination ...elegant, adventurous and colourful ...gleefully provocative' John Preston, Daily Mail 'Such a pleasure to read ...From Victorian department stores to modernist kitchens, his book revels in the things that most historians tend to overlook' Dominic Sandbrook, Sunday Times
