The unique and internationally celebrated atmosphere of The Frick Collection has as much to do with the decorative arts as with its iconic collection of old master paintings. As the sumptuous house Henry Clay Frick constructed at 70th Street took shape between 1912 and 1914, he recognised the need for furnishings of a calibre that matched his painting collection. Together with later acquisitions and gifts, Frick's purchases of enamels, clocks and watches, furniture, gilt bronzes, porcelain, ceramics, silver and textiles are the equals of the works on canvas and far exceed them in number. Included here are carefully selected blocs of decorative arts from stunning collections of Limoges enamels and Sevres porcelain to French eighteenth-century furniture and an extraordinary collection of clocks and watches. Long overdue, this handbook - the first devoted to the decorative arts in the Frick's collection - provides a valuable introduction to this area. AUTHOR: Charlotte Vignon is the Curator of Decorative Arts at The Frick Collection. SELLING POINTS: * The only handbook available on the decorative arts collection of The Frick Collection in New York, which receives nearly 300,000 visitors a year * Makes a great companion volume to the popular book 'The Frick Collection: Handbook of Paintings' 160 colour

"This book explores the life, professional activities, artistic production and collecting practices of Georges Hoentschel through the objects he collected and created. Essays by the editors, joined by Amy F. Ogata, associate professor at Bard Graduate Center and Christine E. Brennan, senior research associate in Medieval Art as the Metropolitan Museum, address his biography, business contacts, and clients, as well as the arrival of the collection in New York, its lavish four-volume illustrated catalogue, and the medieval collections. Also discussed is Hoentschel's involvement with contemporary art, including his intriguing stoneware creations and designs for a pavilion and interiors at the 1900 Exposition Universelle in Paris. Fully illustrated catalogue entries explore the astonishing range of objects he collected. Throughout the book, new documentary material from archives and newspapers illuminates this little-explored chapter in the history of collecting decorative arts between France and America at the dawn of the twentieth century."--book jacket.

Bridging the fields of conservation, art history, and museum curating, this volume contains the principal papers from an international symposium titled "Historical Painting Techniques, Materials, and Studio Practice" at the University of Leiden in Amsterdam, Netherlands, from June 26 to 29, 1995. The symposium—designed for art historians, conservators, conservation scientists, and museum curators worldwide—was organized by the Department of Art History at the University of Leiden and the Art History Department of the Central Research Laboratory for Objects of Art and Science in Amsterdam. Twenty-five contributors representing museums and conservation institutions throughout the world provide recent research on historical painting techniques, including wall painting and polychrome sculpture. Topics cover the latest art historical research and scientific analyses of original techniques and materials, as well as historical sources, such as medieval treatises and descriptions of painting techniques in historical literature. Chapters include the painting methods of Rembrandt and Vermeer, Dutch 17th-century landscape painting, wall paintings in English churches, Chinese paintings on paper and canvas, and Tibetan thangkas. Color plates and black-and-white photographs illustrate works from the Middle Ages to the 20th century.
