Chinese and Japanese Porcelains in the Frits Lugt Collection.
11 2023, (25 x 28 cm), 272 pp. English, ca. 430 colour ills., hardcover.
¶ When the famous Dutch art historian and connoisseur Frits Lugt (1884-1970) and his wife Jacoba Klever (1888-1969) decided to present their collections in the Hôtel Turgot in Paris, Chinese porcelain ranked among their priorities. They intended to give the French public an impression of Dutch Golden Age interiors and a porcelain cabinet had traditionally been part of Dutch material culture. Lugt started assembling his Chinese porcelain collection when he lived in the Netherlands. After the Second World War, the couple settled in Paris, and Lugt continued to buy from dealers and at auctions in France and England. He acquired a variety of pieces, either made for export or for domestic Chinese use. The result, now permanently exhibited in the Fondation Custodia, is a small but exquisite collection of high-quality Chinese porcelain, ranging mainly from the 16th to the late 18th centuries. It reflects the Dutch preference for Kraak, Transitional and Kangxi porcelain, but a number of unusual or even unique non-export porcelains are also on display. Almost all of these pieces are decorated in underglaze cobalt-blue. In this catalogue, written by Dr. Christiaan J.A. Jörg, Dutch specialist on Chinese and Japanese porcelain, each of the 125 pieces is described in detail and placed in a scholarly context. Special attention is paid to iconography, inscriptions and marks. A longer, informative essay elaborates on the history of the collection and shorter essays introduce each of the six sections into which the catalogue is chronologically divided. Every object has been photographed and reproduced from multiple angles, including the base.

Japan Modern. Japanese Prints from the Elise Wessels Collection.
January 2017, ( x cm), 264 pp. English text, illsutarted in colour, hardcover with dustwrappers,
¶ Het boek 'Japan Modern' presenteert een overzicht van Japanse prentkunst uit de eerste helft van de twintigste eeuw. Het ging Japan voor de wind in de jaren na 1900. In de moderne stadscultuur waren er volop kansen, het landschap veranderde, de positie van de vrouw verbeterde en er heerste volop optimisme. Tegelijkertijd zorgden de vele veranderingen voor gevoelens van nostalgie. De prentkunst uit deze periode brengt deze turbulente tijd als geen ander in beeld. In de eeuwenoude houtsnedetechniek tonen kunstenaars het moderne leven: straatbeelden met hoogbouw, auto's, spoorwegen, fabrieken, dansende en cocktails drinkende Japanse vrouwen met moderne kapsels. Maar er is ook aandacht voor traditionele onderwerpen als geïdealiseerde vrouwenportretten en sfeervolle landschapsprenten. De collectie Elise Wessels is een in Nederland unieke verzameling Japanse prenten uit de eerste helft van de twintigste eeuw en behoort tot de beste collecties op dit gebied buiten Japan.

Fine & Curious. Japanese Export Porcelain in Dutch Collections.
2003, (24,5 x 29,7 cm), 304 pp. English text, 420 colour ills., clothbound/ dustwrappers
¶ BOOKSALE Û 142,00 LAST COPIES NOW Û 69,95 An enduring witness to Dutch-Japanese relations is Arita export porcelain made for the Dutch market in the 17th and 18th centuries. The Dutch East India Company (VOC) was instrumental in ordering and distributing a variety of export wares. Private trade also played an important role. This resulted in the importation of large amounts of Japanese porcelain into The Netherlands, particularly during a period when Chinese porcelain was not available. These objects were assimilated into Dutch life and they stimulated the interest in exotica from the Orient. While many of these exquisite pieces have been lost over time, numerous examples are still preserved in public and private collections in The Netherlands. Professor Dr Jörg discusses the variety of export ware and the extraordinary pieces in those collections, many of which are published here for the first time. This survey offers a fascinating insight into a relatively unknown aspect of Dutch-Japanese interaction and is the first book of its kind devoted to this subject in English. Ramsj

04 2022, (26,6 x 32,7 cm), 288 pp. English/ Chinese text, 711 colour & 3 b/w. ills., hardcover.
¶ Yaozhou ware is one of the finest Chinese celadons, made in north China over a period of 700 years, from the 7th to the 14th centuries. Their style developed and changed over time. In the Tang dynasty (618-906) black, brown, lead glazed and black-on-white painted ceramics were made. During the Five Dynasties period (907-960) a technical peak was achieved, and white-bodied wares with beautiful blue-green glazes appeared. During the Northern Song and Jin dynasties (906-1279) more olive-toned celadon glazes became the norm, their intricate decoration and lustrous surfaces supplying a unique aesthetic. At the end of the Jin dynasty the kilns declined and started to manufacture folk ware. 'Yaozhou Wares from Museums and Art Institutes Around the World' gathers illustrations and descriptions of some of the finest Yaozhou wares in private and public collections around the globe. The account considers ceramics in sections, according to their form and decoration, and includes the finest-quality 'official wares' requisitioned for imperial use. Copious illustrations are augmented by a scholarly essay. Highlighting over 400 pieces of Yaozhou ware, the book contains 711 colour and 3 black-and-white illustrations from 56 major museums and art institutes, and will inspire collectors, students and anyone with a love for Chinese ceramics.

Beyond the Dutch. Indonesië, Nederland en de beeldende kunsten van 1900 tot nu.
2009, (23 x 27,5 cm), 200 pp. Dutch, numerous ills., hardcover.
¶ We are beyond the Dutch, we zijn de Nederlanders ontgroeid is de recente uitspraak van een Indonesische kunstenaar. De moderne Indonesische schilderkunst, die in de koloniale tijd is ontstaan, heeft zich geleidelijk aan de Nederlandse invloeden ontworsteld. 'Beyond the Dutch' schetst die worsteling op kleurrijke wijze. Vooraanstaande kunstenaars, curatoren en historici uit Indonesië en Nederland buigen zich over een reeks van vragen die de Indische/ Indonesische kunstgeschiedenis oproept: Wat was en is er Nederlands in de Indonesische kunst? Wat is haar relatie tot westerse technieken en kunstopvattingen? Hoe geeft de hedendaagse kunst in Indonesië én Nederland zich rekenschap van de banden tussen de twee landen? En hoe kijken we eigenlijk naar Indonesische kunst? 'Beyond the Dutch' verscheen ter gelegenheid van de gelijknamige tentoonstelling in het Centraal Museum Utrecht (2009/2010). De auteurs leggen in het boek de nadruk op de Indonesische kant van het verhaal. Het toont de schilderkunst in Indië/Indonesië aan de hand van drie dwarsdoorsneden: de koloniale tijd rond 1900, de tijd van dekolonisatie en onafhankelijkheid rond 1950, en de huidige, postkoloniale periode van rond 2000. Door deze drie scharniermomenten uit te vergroten wordt pas goed duidelijk hoe stormachtig de schilderkunst in Indonesië zich heeft ontwikkeld. Met tekstbijdragen zijn van Hans Belting, Carla Bianpoen, Marieke Bloembergen, Koos van Brakel, Patrick Flores, Jan-Pieter Glerum, Agung Hujatnikajennong, Edwin Jacobs, Nuriani Juliastuti, Meta Knol, Sanne Oorthuizen, Roos van Put, Remco Raben, Helena Spanjaard, Jim Supangkat, Enin Supriyanto, Gerard van Wezel en Pim Westerkamp.
¶ We are beyond the Dutch, we zijn de Nederlanders ontgroeid is de recente uitspraak van een Indonesische kunstenaar. De moderne Indonesische schilderkunst, die in de koloniale tijd is ontstaan, heeft zich geleidelijk aan de Nederlandse invloeden ontworsteld. 'Beyond the Dutch' schetst die worsteling op kleurrijke wijze. Vooraanstaande kunstenaars, curatoren en historici uit Indonesië en Nederland buigen zich over een reeks van vragen die de Indische/ Indonesische kunstgeschiedenis oproept: Wat was en is er Nederlands in de Indonesische kunst? Wat is haar relatie tot westerse technieken en kunstopvattingen? Hoe geeft de hedendaagse kunst in Indonesië én Nederland zich rekenschap van de banden tussen de twee landen? En hoe kijken we eigenlijk naar Indonesische kunst? 'Beyond the Dutch' verscheen ter gelegenheid van de gelijknamige tentoonstelling in het Centraal Museum Utrecht (2009/2010). De auteurs leggen in het boek de nadruk op de Indonesische kant van het verhaal.

Chinese porcelain in Habsburg Spain.
March 2016, 17,5 x 28 cm), 586 pp. English text, 345 colour ills., hardcover.
¶ Although Spain was one of the main commercial and colonial powers of the Modern Age, its role in the circulation of Chinese export porcelain was far from being very clear. The present work, which examines the reception of pieces of this kind during the reign of the Habsburgs, is therefore intended to fill an important gap. Together with lacquered objects and exotica, porcelain circulated throughout the Spanish Empire, passing through the Americas, but until now there had been no record of the pieces that reached the Spanish market. However, Krahe reconstructs the journey of this porcelain ware from southern China, analysing what it was like, how it was displayed and stored, to what uses it was put and how it was valued in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Spain. Based on thorough archival research, a systematic survey of archaeological discoveries, a rich documentary corpus and a great deal of illustrations, the author provides an insight into a hitherto unknown aspect, opening up new perspectives for historians, art historians, and historians of material culture and taste.
