ANTIQUE DEALER It was in the 19th Century that the first ‘antique furniture dealer’ appeared in the London Post Office Directories. At the same time the antique FACT AND FICTION dealer also began to appear as a regular character in contemporary fictional literature. In 1831 for example, Honoré de Balzac (1799-1850) created an anonymous ‘old curiosity dealer’ in his novel La Peau de Chagrin (The Wild Ass’s Skin). Balzac returned to the theme The evolution of the dealer as of the dealer in his later novel Cousin Pons (1847), a literary character and the introducing the dealers Rémonecq and Elias Magus, appetite of the reading public allegedly based on the real-life 19th century Paris- for tales of the lost, found and based antique dealers Charles Mannheim and Frédéric cherished works of art dealers Spitzer.

  • Democratic Citizenship in the Heart of Empire Dissertation Presented In
    POLITICAL ECONOMY OF AMERICAN EDUCATION: Democratic Citizenship in the Heart of Empire Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University Thomas Michael Falk B.A., M.A. Graduate Program in Education The Ohio State University Summer, 2012 Committee Members: Bryan Warnick (Chair), Phil Smith, Ann Allen Copyright by Thomas Michael Falk 2012 ABSTRACT Chief among the goals of American education is the cultivation of democratic citizens. Contrary to State catechism delivered through our schools, America was not born a democracy; rather it emerged as a republic with a distinct bias against democracy. Nonetheless we inherit a great demotic heritage. Abolition, the labor struggle, women’s suffrage, and Civil Rights, for example, struck mighty blows against the established political and economic power of the State. State political economies, whether capitalist, socialist, or communist, each express characteristics of a slave society. All feature oppression, exploitation, starvation, and destitution as constitutive elements. In order to survive in our capitalist society, the average person must sell the contents of her life in exchange for a wage. Fundamentally, I challenge the equation of State schooling with public and/or democratic education. Our schools have not historically belonged to a democratic public. Rather, they have been created, funded, and managed by an elite class wielding local, state, and federal government as its executive arms. Schools are economic institutions, serving a division of labor in the reproduction of the larger economy. Rather than the school, our workplaces are the chief educational institutions of our lives.

  • Whitechapel Gallery Ten Years of Transformation 2009–2019
    Whitechapel Gallery Ten Years of Transformation 2009–2019 1 Message from the Director One of my first responsibilities on becoming Director of the Whitechapel Gallery in 2001 was to confirm the purchase of the grand Victorian Passmore Edwards Library, adjacent to the Gallery’s own 1901 Arts & Crafts building. We asked ourselves, how should we expand our physical footprint while saving a heritage building? And, what could this marvelous sequence of spaces contribute to the experience of art? All the while we needed to remain faithful to our founding mission of sharing great art with everyone. In 2009 – after eight years of planning, hundreds of meetings, millions of pounds raised and the sturm und drang of the construction itself – Whitechapel Gallery opened its new space. Designed by Flemish architects Robbrecht and Daem the dramatically expanded building also inaugurated a new chapter in the story of the Whitechapel Gallery. The decade that has passed since those whirlwind opening weeks has been one of conversation and partnership; of the local and the global; and of experimentation and innovation. The success of the past ten years is a cause for celebration and a source of inspiration as we forge ahead in our role as an international epicentre for the dissemination of art, culture and creativity. The extraordinary figures and images in the following pages are a testament to the collective accomplishments of the past decade. However, none of these would have been achieved without the individual efforts of so many. It has been a privilege to work with so many great artists, curators, critics, collectors, scholars, gallerists, educationalists, supporters, colleagues and of course visitors, all of whom have joined us in our curatorial adventure.

  • Cousin Bette
    HONORÉ DE BALZAC TRANSLATED BY KATHARINE PRESCOTT WORMELEY COUSIN BETTE ROBERTS BROTHERS 3 SOMERSET STREET BOSTON 1888 COPYRIGHT, 1888, BY ROBERTS BROTHERS. University Press JOHN WILSON AND SON, CAMBRIDGE. COUSIN BETTE. CHAPTER I. WHERE DOES NOT PASSION LURK? ABOUT the middle of July, 1838, one of those hackney carriages lately put into circulation along the streets of Paris and called milords was making its way through the rue de l’Université, carrying a fat man of medium height, dressed in the uniform of a captain of the National Guard. Among Parisians, who are thought to be so witty and wise, we may find some who fancy they are infinitely more attractive in uniform than in their ordinary clothes, and who attribute so depraved a taste to the fair sex that they imagine women are favorably impressed by a bear-skin cap and a military equipment. The countenance of this captain, who belonged to the second legion, wore an air of satisfaction with himself which heightened the brilliancy of his ruddy complexion and his somewhat puffy cheeks. A halo of contentment, such as wealth acquired in business is apt to place around the head of a retired shopkeeper, made it easy to guess that he was one of the elect of Paris, an assis- tant-mayor of his arrondissement at the very least. As may be supposed, therefore, the ribbon of the Legion of honor was not absent from his portly breast, which protruded with all the swagger of a Prussian officer. Sitting proudly erect in a corner of the milord, this decorated being let his eyes rove among the pedestrians on the sidewalk, who, in fact, often come in for smiles which are really intended for beautiful absent faces.
