Beautiful hardcover book.Author: Ruhrberg, Schneckenburger, Fricke, Honnef.Edited by: Ingo F. Walther.The term "art" has been defined and redefined so many times over the last 100+ years that it has gained entirely new social, political, and technological meanings.

Originally published in Germany, this book features an extensive collection of influential pieces from the 20th century. An ex-library copy in very good condition, it will become a favorite coffee table book you just can't put down. Who could possibly have forecast on New Year’s Eve 1899 that, one hundred years later, painting and sculpture would be only options, not prerequisites? The term “art” has been defined and redefined so many times over the last 100 years that it has gained entirely new social, political, and technological meanings. Ranging across the full spectrum of disciplines available, including photography and new media, and thematically chaptered to highlight relationships between works and movements, this readable and encyclopedic survey does just what it says on the cover. Whether you want Surrealism or Land Art, Fluxus or Bauhaus, this is your be-all, end-all guide to art of the 20th century. * Publisher ‏ : ‎ TASCHEN (November 8, 2012) * Language ‏ : ‎ English * Hardcover ‏ : ‎ 840 pages * ISBN-10 ‏ : ‎ 3836541149 * ISBN-13 ‏ : ‎ 978-3836541145 * Item Weight ‏ : ‎ 6.76 pounds * Dimensions ‏ : ‎ 9 x 2 x 11 inchesFormat: Hardback with dust cover About : Ingo F.

  • Great Escapes: Italy Angelika Taschen and Christiane Reiter Hardcover Book
    By Angelika Taschen, TASCHEN
    Located in North Hollywood, CA
    Great Escapes: Italy Angelika Taschen and Christiane Reiter Hardcover Book. To travel through Italy is as close as one gets to being in paradise. For centuries, writers, artists, architects, and merchants have been drawn here, inspired by the beauty of Venice, Florence, Naples, and Rome. Countless books, paintings, poems, and sculptures are evidence of its undying appeal, and over the past 60 years, the country has become one of the world’s top travel and holiday destinations. The loveliness of Italy—its architecture, landscapes, culture and food (some of the world’s finest!)—if not eternal, is certainly enduring, and the easygoing and relaxed Italian lifestyle, il dolce far niente, is still unrivaled. Here, some of Italy’s most amazing landscapes are brought to life, like Lake Como (residence of George Clooney), Venice, Florence and Tuscany, the Amalfi Coast, and no less magical, the Aeolian Islands off the coast of Sicily. In these mythical surroundings are legendary hotels full of atmosphere, where novels are set, movies are made, weddings are celebrated, and famous love stories consummated: Villa d’Este on Lake Como, the Hotel Splendido...

The special edition is part of Taschen's 25th Anniversary Series A To M. The ultimate coffee table book for design aficionados! Filled with photos of the most inspiring interiors from 6 continents, the selection of 100 homes represents a global spectrum of contemporary styles, from rustic minimalism to urbane eclecticism. What unites these dwellings is authenticity, a love of detail, and a zest for individual expression that will never go out of fashion. Making stops in North and South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australia, this edition rounds up some of today’s most exceptional and inspiring interiors across six continents. From rustic minimalism to urbane eclecticism, the selection celebrates a global spectrum of styles, united by authenticity, a love of detail, and a zest for individual expression that will never go out of fashion. 100 Interiors Around the World takes the reader inside and outside of the most beautiful properties in the world.

Taschen, the publisher of Brobdingnagian art and design books, has collected 100 interiors in two hefty volumes, like an Oxford English Dictionary of global interiors. A is for an apartment in Amsterdam, overlooking the North Sea Canal. It is also for a concrete spaceship of a house (plus moat) in Acapulco. B is for Beijing and Beverly Hills and Berlin, and not one but two cold war-era apartments — one in former Soviet housing, its pocked cement walls now patina for a young artist’s vintage and Ikea furniture. C is for Cape Town, and the home of an artist who works in mosaics and plumbing pipes painted in rainbow colors. In Chiang Mai, a house on stilts is tiled in concrete imprinted with bamboo. In New York City, a computer consultant lives in a former garage outfitted with twin sleeping pods made from an oil truck tank. This collection represents the greatest hits from Taschen’s archive Includes interiors in Argentina, Brazil, China, Cuba, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Kenya, Morocco, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Turkey, the UK, the USA, and many more countries.

  • 20th Century String Puppet
    Located in Los Angeles, CA
    This oddly beautiful, in a tragic way, puppet was made somewhere in the 20th century, as we are uncertain of their specific creation date. The plexiglass case around them was custom made for them specially, and has kept them safe all these years. You are able to take the puppet out of the case and maneuver it around like any other string puppet. They are dressed in a white, silk suit with black pom poms decorating the gown. Their expression is dramatic in a way that you almost cannot tell what emotion they are expressing; it is up to your interpretation. Great as a collectors item. PLEXIGLASS BOX Dimensions: 32.5"H x 10.5"W x 10.5"D We do local delivery close or in Los Angeles for fee. Will calculate shipping...
