The Decorative Arts Library of Yvonne Brunhammer former Director of the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, Paris 3534 titles in circa 3950 volumes The Yvonne Brunhammer Library The Brunhammer Library is a major resource for the study of design and the decorative arts, and allied fields, from the nineteenth century to the present day. Its formidable range and depth amply reflects Ms. Brunhammer's distinction as one of the leading scholars in the world in these areas. Focusing above all on Art Nouveau, on Art Déco, and on Modern design from the interwar period to the start of the twenty-first century, it covers all aspects of the decorative arts, including furniture, glass, ceramics, metalwork, jewelry, textiles, rugs, and related crafts; as well as fashion and costume design, the graphic arts, including posters and advertising design; and the design of the built environment, including architecture and architectural design, interior design, industrial design and product design. The Brunhammer Library encompasses the full extent of the period, covering not only French, Western European, and American design, but also Japanese, Scandinavian, and Eastern European. It extends well into the larger scope of the performing arts, sculpture, and the history of the avant-garde in the fine arts, as these bear on the central areas of the collection. Incidental material on earlier epochs of art history, from Gothic to Neoclassical, is included as well. Without question the doyenne of French scholars of the decorative arts, Yvonne Brunhammer had a long and distinguished career, as an immensely productive scholar and curator at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris for more than four decades. Arriving there in 1950, she was given charge of the Islamic Department and the Education Department, before becoming head of the Department of Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries. Ms. Brunhammer served as Director of the Musée and Chief Conservator of the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, the Musée de la Publicité, and the Musée Nissim de Camondo from 1986 to 1991, and was appointed Director and Curator in Chief of the Musée des Arts de la Mode in 1991. A fellow at the Center for Advanced Study in the Visual Arts at the National Gallery of Art, Washington D.C. in 1993, Yvonne Brunhammer continued her very active career, participating in international conferences, publishing scholarly books and catalogues, and organizing exhibitions in France, the U.S.A., Canada and Japan. She is the author of well over twenty books and catalogues, including influential studies on all aspects of the decorative arts in France in the twentieth (and twenty- first) century, from Art Nouveau to the present day, and major monographs on Guimard, Lalique, André Arbus, Sylvain Dubuisson, and Fernand Léger, among others. Ms. Brunhammer is renowned especially for her scholarship on Art Déco. Her famous exhibition "Les années '25'" at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in 1966 was responsible for the newfound interest in the period, and indeed served to coin the term "Art Déco" to describe design between the two World Wars, particularly French modern design. She was also instrumental in expanding the fields of collection and study at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs into contemporary design (founding with François Mathey the Centre de Création Industrielle, now at the Centre Pompidou), and glass (the Centre du Verre, at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs).
