This lavishly illustrated volume is the first comprehensive publication on the Brooklyn Museum's internationally renowned historic costume collection. The nearly 25,000-object collection comprises fashionable women's and men's garments and accessories from the 18th through the 20th century. It features sumptuous 19th-century gowns from the House of Worth, exquisite works by the great 20th-century French couturiers, iconic Surrealist-based designs of Elsa Schiaparelli, sportswear classics from pioneer American women designers, and the incomparable draped and tailored creations of Charles James.
In 2009, the Brooklyn Museum and The Metropolitan Museum of Art entered into a groundbreaking long-term partnership to steward Brooklyn's collection. The objects were transferred to The Costume Institute at the Metropolitan, with Brooklyn maintaining curatorial access. Exhibitions of costumes from the collection will be held at both institutions in early May 2010.

Описание: One of the world's top hundred art collectors, Alfred C. Glassell, Jr. (1913-2008), was fascinated by gold, but not for its monetary value. Glassell valued instead the spiritual significance that gold held in many ancient cultures, particularly those of Africa, South America, and Indonesia. Over the years, he acquired an astonishing number of artworks, assembling the largest privately held collection of Pre-Columbian gold. From 1997 to 2004, Glassell donated works of African and Indonesian gold to the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. Upon his death in 2008, he bequeathed his collection of Pre-Columbian gold to the museum. Masterworks of Pre-Columbian, Indonesian, and African Gold explores two hundred of these dazzling works, many published here for the first time. Spanning from 2000 B.C. to A.D. 1600, these precious objects reflect a variety of cultures, such as the Calima, Quimbaya, Sic n, Moch , and Cocl , and a range of geographic locations, from Mexico to Argentina and from Africa to Indonesia. The book offers fresh insights into the enduring appeal of gold and its artistic manifestations in diverse cultures.
Alfred Stieglitz (1864-1946), Edward Steichen (1879-1973), and Paul Strand (1890-1976) are among the most famous photographers of the 20th century. This handsome volume showcases for the first time the Metropolitan Museum's extraordinarily rich holdings of works by these diverse and groundbreaking masters.
A passionate advocate for photography and modern art promoted through his "Little Galleries of the Photo-Secession" (also known as "291") and his journal "Camera Work, "Stieglitz was also a photographer of supreme accomplishment. Featured works by Stieglitz include portraits, landscapes, city views, and cloud studies, along with photographs from his composite portrait of Georgia O'Keeffe (selected by O'Keeffe herself for the Museum). Steichen--perhaps best known as a fashion photographer, celebrity portraitist, and MoMA curator--was Stieglitz's man in Paris, gallery collaborator, and most talented exemplar of Photo-Secessionist photography. His three large variant prints of "The Flatiron "and his moonlit photographs of Rodin's "Balzac "are highlighted here."" Marking a pivotal moment in the course of photography, the final double issue of "Camera Work" (1915-17) was devoted to the young Paul Strand, whose photographs from 1915 and 1916 treated three principal themes--movement in the city, abstractions, and street portraits--and pioneered a shift from the soft-focus Pictorialist aesthetic to the straight approach and graphic power of an emerging modernism. Represented are Strand's rare large platinum prints--most of them unique exhibition prints of images popularly known only as "Camera Work" photogravures.
The rarely exhibited photographs gathered in "Stieglitz, Steichen, Strand "are among the crown jewels of the Metropolitan's collection.
