Albers
Anni Albers and Ancient American Textiles: From Bauhaus to Black Mountain
by
Virginia Gardner Troy (Author)
/
Ashgate Publishing (Editor)
Anni Albers was a founding member of the Bauhaus weaving workshop. Her teachers and colleagues at the Bauhaus included Itten, Kandinsky and Klee, whose intellectual study of "primitive" art proved crucial both in raising the status of that art, and in establishing a pattern for the discussion of modern art. Albers' own investigation of the techniques and abstract designs of ancient American weavers led her to argue that their skill was unsurpassed in the modern world, and to employ those techniques in her own work. Virginia Gardner Troy continues Albers' story beyond the Nazi closure of the Bauhaus to her emigration to America and subsequent association with the Black Mountain College. Extensively illustrated, this book offers an insight into Anni Albers' work and the history of the re-evaluation of ancient skills and techniques in weaving.

Arad
Ron Arad
by
Deyan Sudjic (Author)
/
Laurence King (Editor)
Ron Arad's design work has the energy of modern art - that's why, since opening his workshop in the late 1970s, he has become one of the leading designers of his generation. By recycling ancient car seats to make the Rover chair, and using scaffolding to create a series of remarkable beds, Ron Arad caught the imagination of a generation that had previously taken no interest whatever in furniture design. Also an accomplished industrial designer, his innovative creations in extruded plastic and aluminum are always in high demand. This book features some of his most outstanding work including the Adidas sport cafes, the evolution of the Bookworm installed at the Cartier Foundation and the Tel Aviv Opera House. This is the first comprehensive monograph to be published on Ron Arad.

Bauchet
Francois Bauchet
by
Francois Bauchet (Author)
/
Dis Voir (Editor)
Fran ois Bauchet's furniture objects stand in a frontier between functionality and the work of art, and raise questions about the importance of the presence and material reality of things in a world dedicated to the image. Bauchet has been working in this mode since as early as 1979, and in the eighties he created a great number of pieces for art institutionsUfor example, he designed furniture for the Jeu de Paume museum in FranceUas well as numerous furniture models. He has progressed from using lacquered wood, to working with resin, and now uses raw fabrics and ceramics to create furniture that challenges our preconceptionsUbut always with elegance and subtlety. In addition to beautiful reproductions of his works, this volume contains an interview with Bauchet conducted by Claire Foyalle, a design historian, and an essay by Jacques Bonnaval, Director of the Ocole des Beaux-Arts in Paris and editor of Azimuts magazine.

Boym
America Constantin Boym (German, English and French Edition)
by
Constantin Boym (Author)
/
mudac (Editor)
/
Birkhäuser Architecture (Editor)
America reveals the Russian designer Constantin Boym�s outlook on his new adopted homeland: America, its lifestyle and its landscapes provide an inexhaustible source of inspiration for the designer and artist � not the America of clichés, but rather America in its distinctive neon advertising, in objects, furniture, sales catalogues etc. Boym also takes a critical and whimsical look at this land of uniformity, which inspires him to create his everyday objects, and manufacture them himself, if need be. Boym designs for Alessi, Authentics, Swarovski, Swatch, Morphos, Droog Design amongst others. Objects from Boym studio can be seen in the permanent collection of the MoMA in New York, and various American museums such as the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum in New York and the National Building Museum in Washington have exhibited Boym installations.
