The latest installment in Skira's superb glass series explores the Finnish designer's work for Venini.
This substantial overview explores Finnish designer and sculptor Tapio Wirkkala (1915-85) and his output for the famous Murano glass company Venini. Creator of the Finlandia vodka bottle and designer for companies such as Ittala, Wirkkala's activities with Venini represented a transitional phase in his versatile career and had a profound influence on the Murano glassmaking industry. Most famous of his works for Venini are his particolored bottles: clean, simple forms distinguished by seamless transitions in solid color. This was achieved with the incalmo technique, an ancient glassblowing method promoted by Wirkkala. He often combined this with the mezzafiligrana and murrine techniques for which Murano glass is famed.
The latest in Skira's essential series on Italian glassmaking, Tapio Wirkkala at Venini covers all of Wirkkala's Venini output in more than 500 color images and detailed descriptions of his work.

Robert Sterling Clark (1877-1956), francophile, héritier de la fortune des machines à coudre Singer et amateur d'art autodidacte, a réuni avec son épouse les plus grands noms de l'impressionnisme.
Il nous est offert aujourd'hui de partir à leur découverte, des paysages évocateurs de l'école de Barbizon, précurseurs de l'impressionnisme, aux expérimentations audacieuses du post-impressionnisme.
Publié à l'occasion d'une exposition itinérante de l'essentiel du fonds impressionniste du Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute, cet ouvrage se consacre précisément à soixante-dix tableaux de la collection de peintures européennes du XIXe siècle comprenant des chefsd'oeuvre de Monet, Pissarro, Sisley, Morisot, Manet, Degas, Renoir et Gauguin, des oeuvres fondatrices de Corot et de Millet, des tableaux académiques d'artistes comme Gérôme et Bouguereau, permettant ainsi de saisir l'incroyable révolution picturale qui eu lieu au tournant du siècle dernier.
L'ouvrage débute par deux essais rédigés par des spécialistes et richement illustrés : l'un s'arrête sur le collectionneur passionné Sterling Clark, l'autre présente le couple Clark dans le contexte plus large des collectionneurs du début du XXe siècle (tels Albert Barnes, Henry Clay Frick et Duncan Phillips). Ces textes sont suivis de la reproduction des soixante-treize tableaux de l'exposition, accompagnée pour chacune d'une notice éclairante.

A fresh look at the many meanings and forms of the club across two centuries of Oceanic culture.
Featuring more than 150 clubs made in the 18th and 19th centuries from across a vast geographical and cultural span, Power and Prestige explores a fascinating Oceanic object form that has long been misunderstood by Western scholars. From Australia, Polynesia, Melanesia and New Zealand to Hawaii, Easter Island and the Marquesas Islands, carved clubs have played many roles beyond combat in Oceanic cultures. The range in the size of works presented here--from 15 inches to more than six feet, and made in materials ranging from nephrite and wood to whalebone--points to this diversity of utility and form. In this abundantly illustrated volume, essays detail the clubs' use as ritual and religious objects, mediums of exchange, status symbols and more. Other texts break down the specific function clubs performed within each culture, as well as the symbolic meaning of the beautiful images and patterns inscribed on them.

On the virtuoso creator of menageries in glass.
The latest in Skira's exhaustive series on the great Italian glassmakers, Toni Zuccheri at Venini documents the career of Italian artist, architect, designer, sculptor and poet of glass and nature, Toni Zuccheri (1936-2008). The son of painter Luigi Zuccheri, he inherited his father's passion for portraying animals, which feature frequently in his creations, especially in the form of intricate fantastical glass birds.
In the 1960s, Zuccheri began working with renowned Murano glassmakers Venini. Fashioning animals in polychrome glass, Zuccheri mastered many Venetian glass techniques. In 1965, he started collaborating with Gio Ponti, with whom he designed a new style of window, the vetrate grosse. This comprehensive monograph, a must-have for collectors and Venetian glass lovers, covers Zuccheri's glassmaking career in 400 color images and detailed descriptions of the various phases of his work.
