Hendrik Petrus Berlage (1856–1934) Dressing table, 1896 Oak, white metal Gemeentemuseum, The Hague As yet there is no book that traces the development of Belgian and Dutch design together. Moreover, existing histories of design almost always devote more space to the Netherlands than to Belgium. This is remarkable. These are two small European countries that share a long border and even, in part, a common language. So why should there be such a disparity? In fact, industry developed quite differently in each country. After Great Britain, Belgium was the first Eu- ropean country to industrialize—starting in the late eighteenth century—and it soon became a truly indus- trial state. In the Netherlands, the process began more than half a century later and progressed more gradu- ally. Around 1900, however, industrial development in the two countries started to move along slightly more parallel lines. A brief description of the first half of the twentieth century in both places is essential to under- standing the design sector that was established after 1945. art nouveau and nieuwe Kunst At the beginning of the twentieth century, the most famous designers in Belgium and the Netherlands, Henry van de Velde and Hendrik Petrus Berlage respectively, were also fierce rivals. This is interesting, because both were driven by the same social commit- ment, namely the creation of a new concept of design to suit modern times, one that was affordable for all and would contribute to a better society. In addition, both claimed to pursue a logical, constructivist style, and their common source of inspiration was the Brit- ish Arts and Crafts movement. glassware, and ceramics.

  • Vintage Posters
    IN OUR TIME So far 2013 has been an exciting year at Swann. In January, a sale of illustration art and illustrated books established what will be a new department for us, while our reinstated Old Master Drawings auction drew crowds and much interest for a newly discovered J.M.W. Turner watercolor. February saw our best winter Vintage Posters auction ever, setting records for images by Art Nouveau master Alphonse Mucha, and love was in the air at our Valentine’s Day auction of African-American Fine Art, where paintings by Barkley L. Hendricks and Hughie Lee-Smith, as well as a sculpture by Elizabeth Catlett, achieved top-dollar results. We wrapped up the month with Fine Photographs, featuring early Asian travel albums and avant-garde modernist images, followed by scarce Early Printed Books. American and European artists divided the top lots at our March 7 Prints & Drawings auction, and the word of the day at our Writing Instruments sale was Montblanc, Montblanc, Montblanc. Looking ahead, May is a busy month full of intriguing offerings, including graphic design and typography from the inventory of the late Irving Oaklander, noted bookseller, followed by more scintillating design, typography and graphic art in our sale of modernist posters. Our Contemporary Art sale coincides with Frieze week in New York, and the month concludes with a diverse auction of Autographs. In early June a sale of Maps & Atlases offers rare items of American interest, and mid-month American Art features paintings and drawings by artists including Milton Avery, Robert Gwathmey and John Singer Sargent.

In other words, the technique determines possibilities which are then perceived and translated by operators or others, notably photographers. With regard to photo/graphics, my position is the same: the introduction of photography into graphics systems was to engender new possibilities and reinvigorate the question of graphic design. And this in turn raises another issue: the printing of the photograph, which is to say, its assimilation to both the print and the illustration, with the mass distribution that implies.

  • The Urban and Cultural Climate of Rotterdam Changed Radically Between 1970 and 2000. Opinions Differ About What the Most Importa
    The urban and cultural climate of Rotterdam changed radically between 1970 and 2000. Opinions differ about what the most important changes were, and when they occurred. Imagine a Metropolis shows that it was first and foremost a new perspective on Rotterdam that stimulated the development of the city during this period. If the Rotterdam of 1970 was still a city with an identity crisis that wanted to be small rather than large and cosy rather than commercial, by 2000 Rotterdam had the image of the most metropolitan of all Dutch cities. Artists and other cultural practitioners – a group these days termed the ‘creative class’ – were the first to advance this metropolitan vision, thereby paving the way for the New Rotterdam that would begin to take concrete shape at the end of the 1980s. Imagine a Metropolis goes on to show that this New Rotterdam is returning to its nineteenth-century identity and the developments of the inter-war years and the period of post-war reconstruction.

Berman Collection, featuring more than 65 works by over 40 artists associated with most of the major European avant-garde movements which flourished between the two World Wars. Selected from his superb collection by Merrill Berman himself, this exhibition presents a richly diverse group of artists and styles linked by their “forward- looking” posture and visual “punch.” The works to be exhibited at Ubu – as with Berman’s entire collection – represent a “personalized” cut through 20th Century visual culture “authored” by a collector with an extremely keen and knowledgeable eye. Rather than acquiring only important names (although the collection has more than its share of these, as well), Berman has considered the “aesthetic” aspect of each work and its historical context in deciding whether to add it to his collection.
