BOOK EXCERPT:
The internationally acclaimed European tapestry collection in The Minneapolis Institute of Arts comprises forty-one pieces designed and woven between the fifteenth and eighteenth centuries, representing all the major tapestry-weaving centers - Flanders, France, Germany, Holland, Italy, and Norway. European Tapestry in The Minneapolis Institute of Arts is the first complete documentation of this outstanding and unusually varied collection. Candace Adelson is a leading European-tapestry scholar and the author of numerous articles and exhibition catalogue texts. In this book she describes in detail how European tapestry was created and marketed, explains the techniques of tapestry weaving, and defines technical terms. Then she analyzes the Institute's pieces individually, exploring in depth each tapestry's subject, symbolism, history, and design and listing related works. The result is an invaluable record of a fragile legacy. Everyone interested in learning more about Western culture and the fascinating world of European tapestry will find this extensively researched, lucidly written, and abundantly illustrated catalogue enlightening.

BOOK EXCERPT:
This volume catalogues the more than 250 textiles and objects made of fabric that were part of Robert Lehman's bequest to the Metropolitan Museum in 1975. Many of these textiles were used as hangings, covers, or upholstery to embellish the Lehmans' elegant townhouse in Manhattan. They represent sixty-five years of assembling, owning, and living with historic fabrics on a day-to-day basis, and they document an American style of living and interior decoration that has largely disappeared. Among the highlights of the collection are two series of embroidered roundels from fifteenth-century Flanders that illustrate the lives of Saints Martin and Catherine of Alexandria; four large tapestries, including the Last Supper after Bernaert van Orley that is arguably the finest Renaissance tapestry in an American collection; and a number of ecclesiastical vestments and panels of magnificent silks and velvets in an array of techniques and styles that span six centuries. Comparative illustrations supplement the catalogue entries. Glossary, bibliography, and index. -- Metropolitan Museum of Art website.

BOOK EXCERPT:
J. Paul Getty had a passion for the exquisitely made furniture and decorative objects of eighteenth-century France, which he began collecting in the 1930s. Gillian Wilson, curator of decorative arts since 1971, has broadened and strengthened the collection, adding Boulle furniture, mounted oriental porcelain, tapestries, clocks, ceramics, and more. In the 1980s and 1990s the Museum continued to enlarge its decorative arts holdings, creating a European sculpture department in 1984 and adding glass, maiolica, goldsmiths’ work, pietre dure, and furniture from Italy and Northern Europe. This book is a revised and expanded edition of Decorative Arts: An Illustrated Summary Catalogue of the Collection of the J. Paul Getty Museum (1993). In addition to more than forty recent acquisitions—among these four wall sconces from Versailles that once belonged to Marie Antoinette and an elaborate upholstered bed from the collection of Karl Lagerfeld—it includes the results of years of research. Designed for scholars, students, and devotees of the decorative arts, this volume provides a comprehensive look at the Getty's fine collection.
