The sale features 100 lots spanning a wide variety of styles and materials from the beginning of 20th century until the present day; estimates range from £1,000 to £300,000. The Heart of the Rose and The White Rose and the Red Rose (estimate: £200,000-300,000 for each panel), a pair of painted and jewelled gesso panels by Scottish artist Margaret Macdonald Mackintosh (1864-1933), were first displayed in the Rose Boudoir at the International Exhibition of Modern Decorative Art in Turin, 1902. The Rose Boudoir, the result of a collaboration between Margaret and her husband Charles Rennie Mackintosh, defined a moment of consummate refinement in the evolution of the couple’s oeuvre and these panels played a pivotal role. Remaining strongly representative of the Glasgow avant-garde, they illustrate the rose theme in a lyrical, symbolist manner in a subtle evocation of maternal and sensual love.

  • Decorative Arts’
    Beyond terminology, or, the limits of ‘decorative arts’ Deborah L. Krohn George Kubler invites the reader to imagine a unified approach to the study of things in the first lines of his classic The Shape of Time, published in 1962: ‘Let us suppose that the idea of art can be expanded to embrace the whole range of man- made things, including all tools and writing in addition to the useless, beautiful, and poetic things of the world.’1 Following Kubler’s suggestion, supposing, in this case, that all ‘man-made things’ fall under the category of art, then the distinction implied by the question, ‘What is the role of the decorative arts within art historical discourse?’ loses much of its force. I’d like to tweak this question, posed here by Christina Anderson and Catherine Futter, to read something like ‘Do the various perspectives on cultural artefacts generated within material culture studies make the historical distinction between decorative arts and fine arts obsolete or redundant?’2 I will look first at the history of the term ‘decorative arts’ and what it has come to mean as a field of academic study as well as a collecting area. I will then reflect on an exhibition that I co-organized at the Bard Graduate Center Gallery in 2013 as a case study in both the utility and limitations of the category of decorative arts in the current intellectual climate. At the heart of this discussion is a firm conviction that the exploration of the forms of cultural production that populate our environment must not be fragmented by arbitrary and ill-defined categories.

  • Perryman Ceramics Monthly
    CONTAINING TIMEJane Perryman’s New Approach to the Vessel by Esther Carliner Viros 1 32 october 2015 www.ceramicsmonthly.org I am walking my dog Riley along a field ditch edged with hedgerows and trees. The sky is cloudy gray, the path muddy soft from heavy rains. The prints of horses, deer, and muntjac are etched into the ground. For a hundred meters ahead the line of hedging has been cut by the farmer, sliced by a chainsaw to reveal smooth yellow wood made indecent by sud- den amputation. A hazel tree lies across the path. Stunted catkins hang from the branches, their future pollination a thwarted dream. A hazel tree felled across the path Smooth yellow wood Sliced by a chainsaw Stunted catkins hanging limply —Jane Perryman 2 The multimedia installation entitled Containing Time, a segment of which is being shown in the context of a larger solo exhibition of ceramics and paintings at Vessels Gallery in Boston, Massachusetts, represents an important new direction for British artist Jane Perry- man. Internationally recognized as a ceramic artist, writer, photog- rapher, and film maker, Perryman has brought these various forms of expression together to create a new body of work. Found objects (such as the catkins cited above) inspire a text, are photographed, used to produce a frottage, incorporated into clay material, transformed into a vessel and fired, thus becoming a record of time and place. Well known for her books on naked clay and smoke-fired ceramics, Jane Perryman is also an authority on traditional Indian pottery. Her book, Traditional Pottery of India and a documentary recently released on DVD, are now essential archives of a disappearing tradition.

  • Royal Tapestry Exhibition Travels to U.S. for the First Time
    Royal Tapestry Exhibition Travels to U.S. for the First Time "The Twins Share Out Loot". COLUMBIA, SC.- Royal Renaissance tapestries from one of the premier museums of fine and decorative arts in the world, the Kunsthistorisches Museum of Vienna, will be on view in South Carolina’s capital city. Imperial Splendor: Renaissance Tapestries from Vienna opens at the Columbia Museum of Art on Friday, May 21, a free admission day, and runs through September 19, 2010. The exhibition marks the first time these centuries-old tapestries have travelled to the United States. Each of these eight exquisite tapestries, intricately crafted, measures from 11- to 12-feet high and from 12- to 18-feet long. The tapestries came to the Kunsthistorisches Museum from the collections of King Matthias (Holy Roman Emperor 1612-1619) and King Francis I (1708-1765). The 16th-century Flemish tapestry collection of the Kunsthistorisches Museum is widely known as one of the greatest in existence. Richly woven with silk, wool, and gold and silver thread, these eight newly restored wall hangings were made for the Hapsburg emperors at the famous Brussels atelier of Frans Geubels. They depict one of the most beloved secular themes in the 16th-century repertoire of Flemish tapestry making: the legendary founding of ancient Rome by Romulus and Remus. The series begins with the birth of the two brothers, when they were placed in a basket and set afloat on the Tiber River, and ends with the legendary rape of the Sabine women. For King Matthias and subsequent Habsburg emperors, the tapestries, displayed prominently, also served as an important venue for relating powerful messages about the ancestral roots of the Holy Roman Empire and the Habsburg family.

  • European Art & Decorative Arts Wall Text and Extended Labels
    European Art & Decorative Arts Wall Text and Extended Labels FIRST FLOOR The Morgan Memorial The construction of the Morgan Memorial, completed in two sections in 1910 and 1915, more than doubled the size of the original Wadsworth Atheneum that opened in 1844. The building is dedicated to Junius Spencer Morgan, whose bust by William Wetmore Story stands at the top of the western stairs. Morgan was a Hartford man who founded a banking empire, and his son, J. Pierpont Morgan, chose to build the museum’s new wing as a tribute to his father. The total cost of the Memorial—over $1,400,000—represents the largest of J. Pierpont Morgan’s generous gifts. He spent over twelve years purchasing the several properties on which the Memorial stands, and was involved in its construction until his death in 1913. Benjamin Wistar Morris, a noted New York architect, was selected to design what was to be a new home for the Wadsworth Atheneum’s art collection. It was built in the grand English Renaissance style, and finished with magnificent interior details. Four years after J. Pierpont Morgan’s death, his son, J. Pierpont Morgan Jr., followed the wishes outlined in his father’s will and gave the Wadsworth Atheneum a trove of ancient art and European decorative arts from his father’s renowned collection. Living in the Ancient World Ordinary objects found at sites from the countries surrounding the Mediterranean Sea and the Middle East reveal a great deal about daily life in the ancient world. Utensils for eating and drinking, glassware, lamps, jewelry, pottery, and stone vessels disclose the details of everyday life.
