Dali and Me
Scheidegger & Spiess, 2008. 1. Hardcover, 184 pages, ENG, 225 x 165 x 20 mm, NEW, dustjacket, illustrated in b/w. ISBN: 9783858817112
Salvador Dalí's surrealist masterworks are admired worldwide for their eccentric metaphors. Far lesser known, though, are his fascinating writings, where he occupies himself with verve and in bewilderingly unrefined style with the human body and sexuality. The French art critic and writer Catherine Millet has studied Dalí's artistic oeuvre and his writings for years. Her essay is the expression of a very personal reading of his self-reflecting texts. This pivotal book explains Dalí's influence on his contemporary artist colleagues and reveals the narcissism, the constraints and the visual inventiveness of the most famous - and the most notorious - of the surrealists. The text is completed by rarely published photographs and paintings by Dalí and others that illustrate Millet's ideas.

World-maps for Finding the Direction and Distance to Mecca : Innovation and Tradition in Islamic Science
Brill, 1999. 1. Hardcover, 638 pages, ENG, 295 x 230 x 40 mm, book is in very good condition !, dustjacket is included but in bad shape, however the book is better without it, illustrated in colour / b/w . ISBN: 9789004113671
Two remarkable Iranian world-maps were discovered in 1989 and 1995. Both are made of brass and date from 17th-century Iran. Mecca is at the centre and a highly sophisticated longitude and latitude grid enables the user to determine the direction and distance to Mecca for anywhere in the world between Andalusia and China. Prior to the discovery of these maps it was thought that such cartographic grids were conceived in Europe ca. 1910. This richly-illustrated book presents an overview of the ways in which Muslims over the centuries have determined the sacred direction towards Mecca (qibla) and then describes the two world-maps in detail. The author shows that the geographical data derives from a 15th-century Central Asian source and that the mathematics underlying the grid was developed in 9th-century Baghdad.

In intriguing, often forgotten histories such as 'The Chanel versus Wertheimer', 'Lenin's Yellow Jersey' and 'Selling the Eiffel Tower', hundreds of Parisian souls are brought back to life behind the façades, in the passages, on the squares and along the avenues and boulevards of the City of Light In Paris Souls, the reader samples the idiosyncratic harvest of someone who, after many seasons in his favourite city, still takes delight in its fruits. Author Dirk Velghe recounts facts and stories about the unusual people and events that have coloured Paris, sometimes with paint, sometimes with blood. Histories the way only a true Parisian can tell them. Light-hearted but always drawing on thorough research, Velghe gives a completely new twist to the history of Paris.

World Art : Themes of Unity in Diversity : Acts of the XXVIth International Congress of the History of Art.
Penn State University Press, 1990. 1. Hardcover, 3 Volumes; 265 + 535 + 893 = 1693 pages, In very Good condition, illustrated dustjackets, Language = 90 pct. English + partly French, Italian , German., images / illustrations in b/w. .290 x 225 x 75 mm; ISBN: 9780271006079
Under the sponsorship of the Comité International d?Histoire de l?Art (CIHA), scholars from 31 countries met in August in Washington, DC, to present papers and discuss the subject of the Congress. The CIHA was created by a group of scholars meeting in Vienna in 1873 to exchange results of research, discuss aspects of the theory of the history of art, and encourage international discourse. CIHA has since sponsored congresses at intervals of three or five years. Until now CIHA focused on European art from Constantine to the present, whereas the XXXVIth Congress, in a critical shift, encompassed the history of art from all periods and places. The seven sessions deal with broad themes that transcend cultural differences and are uniquely perceptible through the discipline of art history. Center and Periphery: Dissemination and Assimilation of Style examines the processes whereby local styles may be formed by ?dissemination? from a dominant cultural center and, conversely, those which form a cosmopolitan style by the ?assimilation? of disparate local tradition. Conceptual Designs: Diagrams and Geometric Patterns discusses form and meaning in diagrams and geometric patterns used as independent compositions or as ?incidental? ornament. The Written Word in Art and as Art explores the relationship between what is written and how it is written, and the contribution of both to an understanding of the work as a whole. The Artist is concerned with significant developments in the history of the artist?s self-consciousness. Art and Ritual examines the contribution of the study of ritual to an understanding of the form and meaning of a work of art, and vice versa. Art and National Identity in the Americas looks at the problems of regional and national self-definition in the art of North, Central, and South America, from the European conquests to the present. Preserving the World Art discusses the history and theory of conservation and restoration of works of art and their settings. Each session was chaired and its program determined by two distinguished scholars from widely divergent fiends, ensuring a broad and varied approach to the subject. Following introductory essays by the Chairs, the papers represent a selection of the best contribution by art historians as well as scholars in other disciplines. Included as well are plenary addresses by three international leaders in the field, Hermann Fillitz, André Chastel, and George Kubler.
