	KENTGENS-CRAIG, MARGRET The Bauhaus and America: First Contacts, 1919-1936 Cambridge, MA, MIT Press. 1999, First Edition. (ISBN: 026211237X) Hard Cover with dust jacket, 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Collectible, Black cloth, xx, 283 pp. illus.; 24 cm. Revised edition of "Bauhaus-Architektur: Die Rezeption in Amerika, 1919-1936," Bauhaus Dessau Foundation, Frankfurt am Main, 1993. Book and jacket design by Jim McWethy. Firm binding, clean inside copy. Dust jacket protected in a mylar book cover. "The Bauhaus school was founded in Weimar in 1919 by the German architect Walter Gropius, moved to Dessau in 1925 and to Berlin in 1932, and was dissolved in 1933 by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe under political duress. Although it existed for a mere fourteen years and boasted fewer than 1,300 students, its influence is felt throughout the world in numerous buildings, artworks, objects, concepts, and curricula. After the Bauhaus's closing in 1933, many of its protagonists moved to the United States, where their acceptance had to be cultivated. The key to understanding the American reception of the Bauhaus is to be found not in the émigré success stories or the famous 1938 Bauhaus exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, but in the course of America's early contact with the Bauhaus. In this book Margret Kentgens-Craig shows that the fame of the Bauhaus in America was the result not only of the inherent qualities of its concepts and products, but also of a unique congruence of cultural supply and demand, of a consistent flow of information, and of fine-tuned marketing. Thus the history of the American reception of the Bauhaus in the 1920s and 1930s foreshadows the patterns of fame-making that became typical of the post-World War II art world. The transfer of artistic, intellectual, and pedagogical concepts from one cultural context to another is a process of transformation and integration. In presenting a case study of this process, the book also provides fresh insights into the German-American cultural history of the period from 1919 to 1936. / Margret Kentgens-Craig is the former Head of the Department of Archives and Collections at the Bauhaus Dessau Foundation, Germany." - Publisher.

No priority/air, except by special arrangement. "The Tile Club was a group of 31 notable New York painters, sculptors, and architects - including Winslow Homer, William Merritt Chase, John H. Twachtman, Augustus Saint-Gaudens, and Stanford White - who met together between 1877 and 1887. Inspired by William Morris and the English Arts and Crafts movement, the club created hand-painted ceramic tiles and promoted the decorative arts. But it also championed American art in general - and did much to popularize plein air painting and the Impressionist style. Published in conjunction with an exhibition opening in the Museums at Stony Brook on Long Island, this beautifully designed book - the first ever on the Tile Club - showcases 70 of the club members' tiles and other works and assesses the club's far-reaching influence on art. / RONALD G. PISANO is a scholar and curator who has written several books on American art. He lives in New York City. MARY ANN APICELLA is a London-based consultant for the Department of American Decorative Arts at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. LINDA HENEFIELD SKALET is adjunct professor of art history at Montgomery College in Rockville, Maryland." - Publisher. Fine/Fine.

	ROBERTSON, A. F. Life Like Dolls: The Collectible Doll Phenomenon and the Lives of the Women Who Love Them New York and London, Routledge. 2004, First paperback edition.

"Since the 1980s there has been a growing billion dollar business producing porcelain collectible dolls. Avertised in Sunday newspapers and mailbox fliers, even Marie Osmond, an avid collector herself, is now promoting her own line of dolls on the Home Shopping Network and sales are soaring. With average price tags of $100 -- and $500 or more for a handcrafted or limited edition doll -- these dolls strike a chord in the hearts of middle-aged and older women, their core buyers, some of whom create 'nurseries' devoted to collections that number in the hundreds. Each doll has its own name, identity and 'adoption certificate,' like Shawna, 'who has just learned to stack blocks all by herself,' and Bobby, whose 'brown, handset eyes shine with mischief and little-boy plans.' Exploring the nexus of emotions, consumption and commodification they represent, A. F. Robertson tracks the rise of the porcelain collectible market; interviews the women themselves; and visits their clubs, fairs and homes to understand what makes the dolls so irresistible. Lifelike but freakish; novelties that profess to be antiques; pricey kitsch: These dolls are the product of powerful emotions and big business. Life Like Dolls pursues why middle-class, educated women obsessively collect these dolls and what this phenomenon says about our culture." - Publisher. Very Good.

No priority/air, except by special arrangement. "The Tile Club was a group of 31 notable New York painters, sculptors, and architects - including Winslow Homer, William Merritt Chase, John H. Twachtman, Augustus Saint-Gaudens, and Stanford White - who met together between 1877 and 1887. Inspired by William Morris and the English Arts and Crafts movement, the club created hand-painted ceramic tiles and promoted the decorative arts. But it also championed American art in general - and did much to popularize plein air painting and the Impressionist style. Published in conjunction with an exhibition opening in the Museums at Stony Brook on Long Island, this beautifully designed book - the first ever on the Tile Club - showcases 70 of the club members' tiles and other works and assesses the club's far-reaching influence on art. / RONALD G. PISANO is a scholar and curator who has written several books on American art. He lives in New York City. MARY ANN APICELLA is a London-based consultant for the Department of American Decorative Arts at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.

	ROBERTSON, A. F. Life Like Dolls: The Collectible Doll Phenomenon and the Lives of the Women Who Love Them New York and London, Routledge. 2004, First paperback edition.

"Since the 1980s there has been a growing billion dollar business producing porcelain collectible dolls. Avertised in Sunday newspapers and mailbox fliers, even Marie Osmond, an avid collector herself, is now promoting her own line of dolls on the Home Shopping Network and sales are soaring. With average price tags of $100 -- and $500 or more for a handcrafted or limited edition doll -- these dolls strike a chord in the hearts of middle-aged and older women, their core buyers, some of whom create 'nurseries' devoted to collections that number in the hundreds. Each doll has its own name, identity and 'adoption certificate,' like Shawna, 'who has just learned to stack blocks all by herself,' and Bobby, whose 'brown, handset eyes shine with mischief and little-boy plans.' Exploring the nexus of emotions, consumption and commodification they represent, A. F. Robertson tracks the rise of the porcelain collectible market; interviews the women themselves; and visits their clubs, fairs and homes to understand what makes the dolls so irresistible. Lifelike but freakish; novelties that profess to be antiques; pricey kitsch: These dolls are the product of powerful emotions and big business. Life Like Dolls pursues why middle-class, educated women obsessively collect these dolls and what this phenomenon says about our culture." - Publisher. Very Good.
