  • The Business Organisation of the Bourbon Factories
    The Business Organization of the Bourbon Factories: Mastercraftsmen, Crafts, and Families in the Capodimonte Porcelain Works and the Royal Factory at San Leucio Silvana Musella Guida Without exaggerating what was known as the “heroic age” of the reign of Charles of Bourbon of which José Joaquim de Montealegre was the undisputed doyen, and without considering the controversial developments of manufacturing in Campania, I should like to look again at manufacturing under the Bourbons and to offer a new point of view. Not only evaluating its development in terms of the products themselves, I will consider the company's organization and production strategies, points that are often overlooked, but which alone can account for any innovative capacity and the willingness of the new government to produce broader-ranging results.1 The two case studies presented here—the porcelain factory at Capodimonte (1740-1759) and the textile factory in San Leucio (1789-1860)—though from different time periods and promoted by different governments, should be considered sequentially precisely because of their ability to impose systemic innovations.2 The arrival of the new sovereign in the company of José Joaquin de Montealegre, led to an activism which would have a lasting effect.3 The former was au fait with economic policy strategy and the driving force of a great period of economic modernization, and his repercussions on the political, diplomatic and commercial levels provide 1 For Montealegre, cf. Raffaele Ajello, “La Parabola settecentesca,” in Il Settecento, edited by Giovanni Pugliese Carratelli (Naples, 1994), 7-79. For a synthesis on Bourbon factories, cf. Angela Carola Perrotti, “Le reali manifatture borboniche,” in Storia del Mezzogiorno (Naples, 1991), 649- 695.

    Rachel Feinstein: Maiden, Mother, Crone November 1, 2019 - March 22, 2020 The Jewish Museum, New York Exhibition Checklist All works by Rachel Feinstein St. Sebastian, 2012 Polymer resin, steel, wire, and wood 100 x 48 x 24 in. Private Collection, Greenwich, Connecticut Model, 2000 Mirror, wood, plaster, and enamel paint 90.75 x 40.5 x 52 in. Courtesy of the artist and Gagosian Gallery St. Michael, 2012 Polymer resin, steel, wire, and wood 102 x 56 x 30 in. Courtesy of the artist and Gagosian Gallery Crucifixion, 2003 Plaster, plywood, fabric and enamel paint 108 x 73 x 25 in. Hall Collection A small wooden Crucifixion group from around 1500 was the inspiration for this life-size abstraction. Feinstein has a deep interest in the high European craft of medieval Germany, but her multipart composition was roughly cut with a jigsaw from sheets of plywood. Its hand-hewn materiality reflects the urgency of its time; this was the first piece she made and exhibited after the September 11 terrorist attack, which she witnessed from her downtown New York apartment. The Walrus Is Paul, 2000 Wood and enamel paint 48 x 72 x 20 in. Private collection, New York Mr. Time, 2015 Powder-coated aluminum, vinyl, and working clock 91.5 x 73 x 22 in. Courtesy of the artist and Gagosian Gallery This sculpture is based on a drawing by the artist’s son, Francis Currin, made when he was ten years old. Like many of Feinstein’s works, Mr. Time leaves traces of its dramatic transformation from a small pencil drawing to a human- scale, three-dimensional metal object.
