Jingdezhen to the World. The Lurie Collection of Chinese Export Porcelain from the late Ming Dynasty.
11 2019, (25 x 30 cm), 384 pp. English text, 300 colour ills. hardcover.
¶ An introduction places the diverse porcelains of the Lurie Collection in their historical context. It offers new insight into the European expansion to Asia in the late 16th and early 17th centuries, via both the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, which ultimately led to an unprecedented large-scale trade, transport and consumption of various types of Jingdezhen export porcelain throughout the world until the collapse of the Ming dynasty in 1644. The core of the book is the catalogue section, which is composed of 127 entries with comprehensive discussions and images of a selection of the Lurie porcelains. Whenever possible they are accompanied by images of excavated shards that originally formed part of similar porcelain pieces, establishing direct links to the Jingdezhen kilns where such pieces were produced. Multiple sources of evidence (textual, material and visual) shed light on the trading networks through which these Jingdezhen porcelains circulated, as well as the way in which they were acquired, used and appreciated by the different societies in Europe, the New World, Asia and the Middle East. Highlights include six kraak plates made during the Wanli reign (1573-1620) with the egret mark, which is found on a small number of pieces usually of very high quality, and the only known kraak armorial specifically ordered for the Spanish market in the 16th century. This finely potted plate, also dating to the Wanli reign, bears the impaled arms of García Hurtado de Mendoza, 4th Marquis of Ca-ete, and his wife, Teresa de Castro y de la Cueva. It was most probably ordered via Manila during the time Hurtado de Mendoza was Viceroy of Peru, between 1589 and 1596. This plate, together with a kraak plate bearing a pseudo-armorial, and a few pieces decorated in the so-called Transitional style and one other recovered from the Hatcher junk (c.1643) made after European shapes, attest to the influence that the European merchants exerted on the porcelain production at Jingdezhen at the time

Kraak Porcelain. The rise of global trade in the late 16th and early 17th centuries.
2008, 332 pp. English text, 193 colour ills, clothbound.
¶ At the end of the Ming dynasty, from approximately the third quarter of the 16th to the second quarter of the 17th centuries, a new style of blue and white export porcelain was made in vast quantities at provincial (privately-owned) kilns in Jingdezhen, Jiangxi province. This distinctive blue and white porcelain, commonly known in the west as kraak, quickly became the largest and most varied group of export porcelain wares manufactured throughout the reigns of Wanli (1573-1620), Tianqi (1621-1627) and Chongzhen (1628-1644). Kraak porcelain is of particular historical importance because it is the first Jingdezhen blue and white export porcelain that was mass-produced and shipped in large quantities around the world. The introductory articles of this catalogue cover important archaeological discoveries of kraak porcelain in Jiangxi province; the technical characteristics, material qualities and decoration of kraak wares; the archaeological evidence of the Portuguese, Spanish and Dutch trade; the special commissions and collecting of kraak porcelain; and, the underwater recoveries from datable shipwrecks. A brief discussion on kraak porcelain imitations (tin-glazed earthenware and porcelain) is also included. Fifty-nine porcelains, including some exceptional and rare pieces, representing various types of kraak wares are comprehensively studied, discussed and illustrated in this catalogue.

Leaping The Dragon Gate. The sir Michael Butler Collection of Seventeenth-Century Chinese Porcelain,
11-2021, (24,5 x 30 cm), 576 pp. English text, 850 colour ills., hardcover.
¶ This book celebrates the most important collection of 17th-century Chinese porcelain in the world, assembled by the distinguished British diplomat Sir Michael Butler. His passion for porcelain is clearly reflected in the over eight hundred pieces he collected and lived with at his home and private museum in Dorset. The pots (as Sir Michael called them), many of extreme rarity or exquisite quality, give testimony to the incredible depth of knowledge he acquired over five decades and his outstanding contribution to research and education in this previously neglected field of study. This lavish and comprehensive collection covers most types of porcelain produced at Jingdezhen, in Jiangxi province, during the 17th century. The variety of the pieces carefully acquired by Sir Michael reflects the great innovative spirit of the highly skilled Jingdezhen potters and painters at a time when they were released from the controls of Imperial patronage, between the end of the reign of the Ming Emperor Wanli in 1620 and the re-establishment of the Imperial kilns by the Qing Emperor Kangxi in 1683. It is a study collection of porcelain unrivalled in its breath and rarity that demonstrates the stylistic and qualitative evolution which occurred in Chinese porcelain production during the 17th century.

Silk, Porcelain and Lacquer. China and Japan and their Trade with Western Europe and the New World. 1500-1644.
10 2016, 24,5 x 30 cm., 480 pp., 386 colour ills., hardcover.
¶ Focusing on the prolific trade, transport and consumption of Chinese silk and porcelain and Japanese lacquer between 1500 and 1644, this groundbreaking book will show how the material cultures of late Ming China and Momoyama/Early Edo Japan on one side of the globe, and western Europe and the New World on the other, became linked for the first time, through an exchange of luxury Asian manufactured goods for currency (silver). It offers new insight into these multi-layered long-distance commercial networks, which resulted in an unprecedented creation of material culture that reflected influences of both East and West. _Original research reveals new evidence of the trade of these three Asian manufactured goods, first by Portugal and Spain, and later by the trading companies formed by the Northern Netherlands/Dutch Republic and England. Important documentary information is brought to light concerning, for example, the use of Chinese porcelain in western Europe, and the objects made to order in European shapes for the Dutch and English trading companies in Japan and China. The study also sheds light on both the trans-Atlantic and trans-Pacific commercial trading networks through which these Asian goods circulated, as well as the way in which these goods were acquired, used and appreciated by the Portuguese, Spanish, Dutch and English societies in western Europe and the multi-ethnic societies of the European colonies in the New World and Asia. _300 illustrations of extant examples of Chinese silks and porcelains, along with Japanese lacquers of the period, complement the information gleaned from archival and textual material. In the case of Chinese porcelain, a large number of the examples illustrated are provided by archaeological finds from European shipwrecks, survival campsites, colonial settlements in Asia, the New World and the Caribbean, and their respective mother countries in western Europe. _Breaking new ground in its comparative study of the impact these European trading empires or companies had on the material cultures of China and Japan, this book shows the influence that the European merchants and missionaries exerted on the goods made specifically to order for them in both China and Japan. It also traces the worldwide circulation of these luxury objects, which were intended for secular and religious use in European settlements in Asia, and their respective mother countries in western Europe and colonies in the New World. More importantly, this book shows that these specific orders led to the creation of a wide variety of hybrid manufactured goods in both China and Japan, which combined elements from very different and distant cultures, reflecting the fascinating and complex East-West cultural exchanges that occurred in the early modern period

Bulgari | Serpenti. The Power of Metamorphosis.
09 2021, ( 17 x 24,5 cm), 248 pp. Italian / English text, 190 colour ills., hardcover.
¶ Metamorphosis is a central theme of contemporary creativity, investigated by artists, stylists, designers, philosophers and craftsmen who have crossed the rigid fences of their respective disciplines in search of their changing inclusiveness. With a pioneering spirit, Bulgari also explores them in their different meanings: symbolic, creative and artistic. The protagonist of the narration is the snake, an emblem of regeneration in all cultures and an icon of the goldsmith mastery of the Rome maison from the 1940s to today. In symbolic metamorphoses, the reptile embodies the archetype of transformation and renewal that refers to the dualism of life, while in the creative ones its seductive spell has deeply inspired material culture, from ancient clothing to contemporary fashion, from primitive jewelry to the Bulgari collections which celebrate it as a symbol, myth, creative theme, and personal ornament. Lastly, on the artistic side, Bulgari asked five artists to represent their own idea of metamorphosis: Refik Anadol, Ann Veronica Janssens, Azuma Makoto, Daan Roosegaard, and Vincent Van Duysen have thus interpreted them through the poetics of their respective artistic languages, with surprising, heterogeneous and powerful results, further proof of their being the most revolutionary and profound act in the life of a person, a society or a culture.

Van Cleef & Arpels. Time Nature, Love.
2022, (23,5 x 31 cm), 272 pp., English text, 350 colour ills., hardcover.
¶ This book presents the legendary jewelry and precious objects of Van Cleef & Arpels, and how they relate to time, nature and love. Time is a fundamental element for both creativity and craftsmanship. Time gives objects their shape; defines their style; determines their function, social utility, and the choice of materials and techniques; indicates origin; hones taste; and reveals context. Time is interpreted through ten concepts, some of which are inspired by Italo Calvino's Lezioni Americane, or Six Memos for the Next Millennium, to honor the iconic pieces created by Van Cleef & Arpels over the years, from Art Deco masterpieces to the illustrious Zip necklace, gravity-defying Mystery Set technique or celebrated Minaudières - some of the most important innovations in the history of 20th century jewelry-making. Nature plays an equally important role for Van Cleef & Arpels as an ever-present source of inspiration, embodied in unique gems and timeless jewels drawing on flora and fauna. Van Cleef & Arpels is founded on love, the most powerful energy in the world. Each object is handcrafted with love, and Van Cleef & Arpels jewelry has sealed some of the century's most legendary love stories. In a brilliant historical and critical essay, illuminated by a stunning iconographic selection of jewelry, precious objects and archive materials, this work describes the Maison's eternal values.

Auction Prices and the Evolution of Taste in Dutch and Flemish Golden Age Painting (1642-2011).
2017, (22 x 28 cm), 295 pp. English text, 82 b/w/ ills., hardcover
¶ Taste is a well known but largely underestimated phenomenon. Yet it is one of the factors that has shaped our knowledge and view of art. Why is Rembrandt van Rijn today considered to be one of the greatest painters in European art while Gerard de Lairesse, Rembrandt's younger contemporary and one of the best-selling painters of his day, is now forgotten? This book is a systematic and quantitative study of taste. More specifically it focuses on the painters of the seventeenth-century Low Countries and follows the changes in consumer evaluation of them from the seventeenth century up to 2008. Proceeding from the same starting point as Gerald Reitlinger in his monumental The Economics of Taste, it uses the prices paintings have fetched at auction as a basis for tracing trends in the taste of the art-buying public. Whereas Reitlinger's approach was rather intuitive, this study develops a sound methodological basis for researching taste and auction prices. It is not only quantitative methods and properties of auction prices that require a specific approach: in historical research quantitative data and analyses are only reliable when they can also be tested against qualitative or historical sources. Based on a statistical analysis, various 'universal' painters, such as Rubens and Rembrandt, are defined. In addition, however, specific genres such as landscape, portrait, history painting, and so on are analysed. In the case of eighty-three painters there is sufficient information to allow the profiling of individual price trends. But other quantitative data drawn from the examination of collections or catalogues raisonnés prove an additional source of information when compared with auction prices. This book shows what big data and statistics can mean to our understanding of art

Hiroshige. Nature and the City
10 2023, (23,5 29,5 cm), 528 pp. English text, numerous ills., hardcover.
¶ Utagawa Hiroshige (1797-1858) is een van de beroemdste prentkunstenaars uit het negentiende-eeuwse Japan. Dit nieuwe boek, Hiroshige - Nature and the City, is het meest uitgebreide overzicht van zijn oeuvre tot op heden. Aan de hand van vijfhonderd prenten maken we kennis met Hiroshige's unieke kijk op de wereld: van de prachtige gezichten van zijn geboorteplaats Edo (het huidige Tokio), zijn reizen langs de beroemde Japanse snelwegen, de idyllische beelden van vogels en bloemen, tot zijn waaierprenten. Hiroshige verwerkte vaak poëzie in zijn prenten. Wat dit boek zo bijzonder maakt is dat het transcripties en vertalingen bevat van alle gedichten die op de werken voorkomen. Bovendien krijgt de lezer ook gedetailleerde vergelijkingen van de houtsneden en van hun verschillende drukken. In die zin is deze publicatie van grote waarde voor onderzoekers, handelaren en verzamelaars. Vijf essays gaan dieper in op bepaalde aspecten van Hiroshige's leven en werk. Zo introduceert Rhiannon Paget (curator Aziatische Kunst in het John and Male Ringling Museum of Art) de lezer tot de professionele en persoonlijk levensloop van de kunstenaar. Andreas Marks (curator Minneapolis Museum of Art) schrijft over de uitgevers van Hiroshige's houtsneden en over zijn samenwerkingen met collega-kunstenaars. Shiho Sasaki (conservator in het Asian Art Museum van San Francisco) analyseert Hiroshige's gebruik van pigmenten. John Carpenter (curator Japanse Kunst in het Metropolitan Museum of Art) onderzoekt de bronnen van de poëzie in Hiroshige's bloemen- en vogelprenten. De prenten in dit boek komen uit de grootste privécollectie van Hiroshige buiten Japan, die van Alan Medaugh in New York.

Dieric Bouts. Beeldenmaker.
2023, (24,2 x 32 cm`), 240 pp., Dutch text, numerous colour ills., hardcover
¶ Dieric Bouts (ca. 1410/1420-1475) is een van de meest ongrijpbare figuren uit de geschiedenis van de westerse kunst. Vlaamse primitief van de tweede generatie, schilder van de stilte - het zijn de etiketten die hij meestal opgeplakt krijgt. Maar is de Brabantse meester niet veel meer dan dat? In dit boek, gepubliceerd naar aanleiding van de grote retrospectieve in M Leuven, wordt een poging ondernomen om dichter bij deze enigmatische figuur te komen. Dieric Bouts stond met beide voeten in de wereld: alleen zo kunnen we zijn werk begrijpen. Diepgravende essays en korte teksten die focussen op een specifiek werk van de Vlaamse meester schetsen de maatschappelijke, intellectuele en artistieke context van die periode. Ze belichten Bouts' oeuvre vanuit nieuwe invalshoeken en bieden door een radicale confrontatie met de hedendaagse beeldcultuur een nieuwe kijk op werken van meer dan vijf eeuwen oud. Het resultaat is een genuanceerd beeld van de grote Leuvense schilder die zo zijn plaats in de kunstgeschiedenis als blikverruimende beeldenmaker herovert. Deze publicatie verscheenn naar aanleiding van de indrukwekkende retrospectieve in M Leuven van 20 oktober 2023 tot 14 januari 2024. Onder redactie van Peter Carpreau. Met bijdragen van Inigo Bocken, Jordan Marie Booker, Till-Holger Borchert, Peter Carpreau, Marjan Debaene, Mark Derez, Bart Fransen, Valentine Henderiks, Stephan Kemperdick, Didier Martens, Gust Van den Berghe en Michiel Verweij.
