About the Item

If you think of one of the greatest artists of modernism, Joan Miró, you immediately have some of the characteristic motifs of his painting or graphics present in your mind's eye. Less well known, but no less interesting from an art-historical point of view, is his ceramic work, which he produced in collaboration with the Spanish ceramist and school friend Josep Llorens Artigas. The catalogue raisonné shows the entire ceramic oeuvre of Miró (and Artigas) in over 500 illustrations, from the first painted vases from 1941 to the monumental ceramic walls from 1981. Each of these pieces is unique, either earthenware or clay, fired in a wood-fired oven. The volume lists each work with the corresponding information such as title, year, material, owner, provenance, exhibitions and bibliography and meets the requirements for a catalogue raisonné without objection. Hardback. Text in English. 395 pages. 3140 grams.

Scandinavian Ceramics & Glass in the Twentieth Century (Book)
Located in North Yorkshire, GB
by Jennifer Hawkins Opis This is a comprehensive catalogue of the Scandinavian Ceramics and Glass collection at the V&A, showing comparative material from all four Scandinavian countries. The history of the many ceramics and glass factories, their artists and designers is outlined against a changing social and political background. Scandinavian design, from the 1950s to the 1970s, was a by-word for modernism. Scandinavian style was the style to which all other designers aspired during that time and the Nordic designers were awarded all the major prizes. Earlier, during the 1920s and 1930s Scandinavian designers were establishing influential design concepts, and ceramics and glass production attracted many of the key artists. Masterworks are included: from Alvar Aalto's "Savoy" vase to Tapio Wirkkala...
