For more than 30 years, Dr. Anneliese and Dr. Wulf Crueger - guided by Saeko Ito - have devoted themselves to studying, understanding, and collecting Japanese ceramics. Today, they share their knowledge with this lavishly illustrated volume based on their own collection. The equivalent of "Roberts Museum Guide", devotees of beautiful ceramics can pick it up and use it to select and visit potters as they undertake an artistic tour of the country. Organised geographically, it goes from kiln to kiln - which in Japan may refer to a lone site or an entire ceramics region that contains hundreds of workshops. Along the way, they outline the history, development, and unique stylistic characteristics of each area's work, and the traditions that inspired it.

Southeast Asia is known to many as a region teeming with tourist destinations, economic opportunities and ex-colonies, but a lesser known facet is its colourful and myriad cultures in which ceramics form an integral part of the social fabric. Focusing primarily on the Classical Period (8001500 CE), this book views ancient Southeast Asian culture through the lens of ceramic production and trade, influenced but not completely overshadowed by its powerful neighbour, China. In this landmark publication, which accompanied the exhibition of the same name, noted archaeologist and scholar John N. Miksic constructs a vivid picture of the development of Southeast Asias unique ceramics. Along with three contributing authors Pamela M.Watkins, Dawn F. Rooney and Michael Flecker he summarizes the fruits of their research over the last forty years, beginning in Singapore with the founding of the Southeast Asian Ceramic Society (SEACS) in 1969. The result is a comprehensive and insightful overview of the technology, aesthetics and organization, both economic and political, of seemingly diverse territories in pre-colonial Southeast Asia. It is essential reading for all those with an interest in the economic history of the region, and also for anyone who seeks a better understanding of the brilliant but too often underestimated material culture of Southeast Asia.

L'apropament esporàdic, però intens, dels artistes al món de la joieria és l'eix vertebrador de l'exposició, la primera d'aquesta temàtica organitzada al nostre país. S'hi poden admirar més de 300 peces d'artistes, tant catalans com internacionals, que encapçalen les diferents tendències creatives que s'encavalquen durant el fèrtil segle XX. El MNAC ha reunit els dissenys originals d'Hector Guimard, Josep Llimona, Manolo Hugué, Pau Gargallo, Salvador Dalí, Georges Braque, Alexander Calder o Pablo Picasso, entre d'altres, procedents d'institucions públiques i de museus d'arreu del món, així com de col·leccions privades i del mateix fons del Museu. Les joies exposades revelen en petit format la persona litat artística dels seus autors i, al mateix temps, dialoguen amb altres obres seves (pintures, escultures, fotografies, teixits i arts de l'objecte), que posen en valor aquesta faceta més desconeguda, tot creant un diàleg interdisciplinari entre les arts.

No other volume has ever presented such a diverse and captivating collection of contemporary animal-themed ceramics. Juried by distinguished artist and educator Joe Bova, this magnificent gallery includes pieces from an international group of artists; the beautifully crafted works range from the representational to the abstract, from artful realism to provocative surrealism (including animal-human hybrids). Ann Marais' image of a waterfowl painted onto a porcelain dish has a restrained, Asian quality. Sharkus' painted and smoke-fired stoneware turtle could easily be mistaken for the living creature. Bova provides astute and illuminating commentary overall, with selected artists' notes.
