Global by design. Chinese Ceramics from the R. Albuquerque Collection (hardcover).
April 2016, (24,1 x 30,6 cm), 240 pp. English text, 220 colour ills., hardcover. Catalogue for the exhibition held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, 'Global by Design: Chinese Ceramics from the R. Albuquerque Collection', focusing on Chinese ceramics of the late 16th to the 18th century, a period during which they became a global luxury, transforming both the European ceramic industry and also the styles of dining and drinking. The exhibition comprises 48 entries with 60 exquisite and unusual pieces from an important Brazilian private collection, never exhibited before, exploring the way in which 18th-century artists, when faced with the global idioms that had developed at the time, made artistic choices that allowed them to create an endless range of spectacular and visually imaginative works. Besides exploring the trade in Chinese ceramics within Asia, the exhibition focus on the development of shapes and designs that reflect the history of exchange between China and the Islamic world as well as the period - the late 16th century - when works reflecting both the Chinese and Islamic traditions were introduced and incorporated into Europe and the Americas. Introduction by Denise Patry Leidy, Brooke Russell Astor Curator of Chinese Art, of the Metropolitan Museum of Arts, and entries by Maria Antónia Pinto de Matos, director of the Tile Museum in Lisbon and expert in Chinese export ceramics. The same author, Maria Antónia Pinto de Matos, has written The RA Collection: A Collector's Vision published by Jorge Welsh Books in 2011. The reference book on Chinese export porcelain, a three-volume boxed set of hardcover books containing more than 900 illustrations, is a work of art in itself. The 1200 pages include chapters on earthenware, stoneware, porcelain of the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, works with Western shapes and decoration and armorial Chinese export porcelain in the RA Collection.

Ancient Indonesian Gold of the Central and Eastern Javanese Periods. 750-1550.
06 2022, (496 pp. English text, ca. 250 ills., maps,hardcover. Ancient Indonesian Gold is the first publication of the Documentation Centre for Ancient Indonesian Art in Amsterdam. It examines Indonesian gold, sculptures, objects and jewellery, affording fresh insights into the history, techniques and use of the special types of jewellery made by Javanese goldsmiths. The objects have been studied closely and their descriptions sometimes differ from that in earlier publications. This was done in an attempt to give the reader new information about ancient Javanese gold. Most of the 115 selected items are published here for the first time and provide a good introduction to the fascinating goldsmith art of Central- and East Java from circa 750 to 1550. Several objects exhibit the foreign influences that helped shape Javanese art, as illustrated by early photographs. This begins with the impact of Hinduism from India, somewhat later that of Buddhism, and subsequently of Islamic culture. The illustrations in this publication include high-quality photographs of the works of art as well as old photographs and details of archaeological sites throughout Java. In this way, art lovers are able to better understand Indonesian culture as well as the virtuosity of Javanese goldsmiths. Indonesia's rise to greatness was due to its ability to time and again absorb new elements from foreign cultures and incorporate them into its own intrinsic civilisation.

Japanse prenten. De collectie Vincent van Gogh.
06-2018, (21 x 29 cmn), 224 pp. Dutch text, 150 colour ills., hardcover. Vincent van Gogh kocht tijdens zijn verblijf in Parijs meer dan 600 Japanse kleurenhoutsneden. Japanse kunst was op dat moment een rage. Van Gogh wilde handeldrijven in deze populaire prenten, maar de tentoonstelling die hij organiseerde in café Le Tambourin werd geen succes. Geluk bij een ongeluk was dat de kunstenaar zijn verzameling vanaf dat moment in alle rust kon bestuderen. Langzaam maar zeker raakte hij in de ban van de aantrekkelijke, kleurrijke en ongebruikelijke motieven en stijl. Dit boek gaat gedetailleerd in op Van Goghs verzameling, analyseert de samenstelling en de kwaliteit, en toont een ruime selectie van de Japanse prenten die hij in zijn bezit had en die zich nu in de collectie van het Van Gogh Museum bevinden. Deze prenten, van kunstenaars als Hiroshige, Kuniyoshi en Kunisada, bieden een verrassende blik op een van de meest krachtige, creatieve inspiratiebronnen voor Van Goghs werk.

Early Chinese Blue-and-White Porcelain: The Mingzhitang Collection of Sir Joseph Hotung.
07 2023, (26 x 33 cm), 172 pp English, 134 colour plates, hardcover. The Mingzhitang Collection of Sir Joseph Hotung is one of the finest collections in the world to capture the essence of early Chinese blue-and-white porcelain. With twenty outstanding examples, it concentrates on the first hundred years of China's blue-and-white production, in the late Yuan (1271-1368) and early Ming (1368-1644) dynasties - a period that was never surpassed in artistic ingenuity and material quality. The charisma and the energy of the masterly paintings on porcelain created in the Yuan dynasty at the kilns of Jingdezhen in Jiangxi province, which made this genre so influential and universally admired, are represented with twelve exceptional examples, most of them unique. They demonstrate the powerful blue-and-white style developed under Mongol rule, when the artisans appear to have been working with few restraints. The collection equally documents the much more refined and sophisticated early Ming style of the Yongle (1403-24) and Xuande (1426-35) reigns, when production was closely controlled by an imperial court with exceptionally high standards. Here, the collection illustrates two stylistic strands that existed side by side: porcelains decorated completely in Chinese taste and vessels in the shapes and patterns of Islamic metalwork from countries in close diplomatic contact with the Chinese court. The wares of this period defined imperial porcelain styles until the end of China's last dynasty. The book is lavishly illustrated and contains a general introduction on early Chinese blue-and-white porcelain, an extensive description, documentation and discussion of each piece, and a bibliography

The Beauty of Silence, Japanese No & Nature Prints by Tsukioka Kogyio (1869-1927).
2010, (25 x 30,3 cm), 192 pp. English text, numerous colour ills,, hardcover. The Beauty of Silence. Japanese N_ and Nature Prints by Tsukioka K_gyo (1867-1927) is the first monograph in English on Tsukioka K_gyo, one of the lesser-known exponents of Japanese woodblock prints of the Meiji period (1868-1912). This publication exposes K_gyo's life and work, presenting a detailed and abundantly-illustrated overview of his rich oeuvre of prints and paintings, and places them in the context of his times. For the first time, K_gyo's life and work are accessible to readers throughout the world. K_gyo is particularly well-known for his many depictions of the N_, Japan's elegant and poetic theatrical form, dating back to medieval times. Performances of N_ continue to have wide audiences even today, with admirers not only in Japan, but throughout Asia, Europe and the United States. K_gyo often created unusual images of the theatrical productions he attended, and his prints provide fascinating visual clues and insights into how these classic plays were actually performed during his lifetime. In these theatrical prints, K_gyo created images of an evocative beauty that are comparable with the work of some of the great artists in the European tradition who also recorded the theatrical practices of their times. The Beauty of Silence illustrates a range of K_gyo's works on a variety of subjects, including landscapes, as well as samples of his art created in other media. The publication includes his biography, historical information on the N_, a detailed analysis of the prints, and useful information on each of the N_ plays pictured. The appendices section includes listings of more than a hundred artist-seals used by K_gyo, an index of N_ plays and illustrations of all 120 prints belonging to K_gyo's famous print series N_gaku hyakuban (One Hundred N_ Plays). This book, with almost 400 full color illustrations, will be of wide interest both to lovers of woodblock prints and to those interested in the power and beauty of Japan's theatrical traditions.

Pronkstukken uit keizerlijk Japan Meiji-kunst uit de Khalili collectie beschrijft de stormachtige wijze waarop Meiji kunst in de tweede helft van de 19de eeuw het Westen veroverde.

Het publiek was laaiend enthousiast. In dit boek belichten de auteurs Kris Schiermeier en Matthi Forrer de kenmerken van Meiji kunst tegen deze achtergrond. Ze beschrijven de historie van de sierkunst en gaan uitgebreid in op de verschillende technieken en de motieven die in Meiji kunst een prominente rol spelen. De collectie van professor Nasser D. Khalili omvat 2000 Meiji-objecten van een uitzonderlijk hoge artistieke en technische kwaliteit. Een selectie van de mooiste werken illustreren dit boek. In de inleiding schetst Axel Rüger de band die het Van Gogh Museum heeft met Japanse prentkunst en de wijze waarop Vincent van Gogh hiermee in aanraking kwam.
