Het zijn veelal unica Deze publicatie schetst de ontwikkeling na een periode waarbij de zilversmeedkunst bij wijze van spreken tot stilstand was gekomen. Het documenteert de inspiratiebronnen, evenementen en personen - zilversmeden en ontwerpers alsmede de betrokken kunstliefhebbers - die hun rol in deze ontwikkeling hebben gespeeld en geeft een overzicht van alle zilversmeden en ontwerpers die als zodanig werkzaam zijn of of zijn geweest.

The Emperor's Private Paradise. Treasures from the Forbidden City.
August 2010, (22,9 x 30,5 cm), 300 pp. English text, 120 colour and 40 b/w. ills., hardcover with dustwrappers.
¶ For centuries, China's Forbidden City has captured the world's imagination. Parts of the Forbidden City have been open to the public since 1925, and nearly 8 million tourists flock there annually. Yet the elegant, intimate Qianlong Garden - itself within a 'mini-Forbidden City' inside the Forbidden City - has remained sequestered from public view. Dating from the eighteenth century, the Qianlong Garden was built as a retirement retreat for its namesake emperor, a visionary patron of the arts who designed his garden to reflect a perfect union of art, architecture, and nature. Now undergoing restoration as a result of a groundbreaking international collaboration, it is intended to be fully open to visitors in 2019. Well in advance of this opening date, 'The Emperor's Private Paradise' gives an in-depth analysis of the garden - the most refined and elegant of imperial Chinese gardens, and containing some of the most extravagant imperial interiors still existing. This volume also interprets the many artworks commissioned for the garden by the emperor as expressions of ancient cultural values and new perspectives. Essays offering an overview of the history of Chinese gardens and the extraordinary reign of the Qianlong emperor complement and contextualize the importance of the Qianlong Garden and its artworks. This lavishly illustrated volume is published to accompany an unprecedented exhibition of ninety objects from the Qianlong Garden, many of them never seen before and including superlative examples of Qing murals, paintings, wall coverings, furniture, architectural elements, and jades. By illuminating this little-known yet architecturally significant area of the Forbidden City, this volume represents a major contribution to the fields of Chinese art, history, architecture, and gardens.

Jasper Johns. Catalogue Raisonné of Painting and Sculpture.
March 2017, 1578 pp. English text, 1317 colour - & 25 b/w. ills., 5 volumes hardcover in decorative slipcase.
¶ For more than 60 years, Jasper Johns (b. 1930) has remained a singular figure in contemporary art. His most widely influential work - depictions of everyday objects and signs such as flags, targets, flashlights, and lightbulbs - helped change the face of the art world in the 1950s by introducing subject matter that stood in contrast to the prevailing style of Abstract Expressionism. In subsequent decades, Johns's art has increasingly engaged issues of memory and mortality, often incorporating references to admired artistic predecessors. This definitive 5-volume catalogue raisonné documents the entire body of painting and sculpture made by Johns from 1954 through 2014, encompassing 355 paintings and 86 sculptures. Each work is illustrated with a full-page reproduction, nearly all of which were commissioned expressly for this publication. A decade of research underpins the project, with thorough documentation of each object and an overarching monograph that represents the most comprehensive study of the artist's work to date. All facets of the catalogue reflect the input of the artist, who worked closely with the author at all stages.

Pastiglia Boxes of the Renaissance. Cofanetti in pastiglia del Rinascimento.
2021, (24 x 33,5 cm), 376 pp. English / Italian text, 775 illustrations, hardcover.
¶ Decorated with historical figures in pastiglia, these boxes originated within the culture of the Renaissance courts and learned environments of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, and feature themes centred on Heroism and Love, classical mythology and a particular form of Eroticism. They narrate Petrarch's Triumphs (Love, Chastity, Fame, Time, Death and Eternity), the heroic acts of Gaius Mucius Sc¾vola, Marcus Curtius and Marcus Atilius Regulus, and the heroines Lucretia, Judith and Dido. They also portray female nudes such as Diana and her nymphs and another nymph being spied on by satyrs, symbolising Virtue discovered by Vice, and Susanna and the Elders, a biblical story offering artists an opportunity to depict female nudity in times of strict Church control. Extremely fragile, they are works of an art unjustly deemed minor in the period of artistic fervour and remarkable passion for classical antiquity that was the Italian Renaissance.
