England 2006. The essays in this book have been chosen to reflect Unn's wide range of research interests in the field of medieval painting. They present an in-depth analysis of many aspects of medieval painting technique, at the same time providing a much-needed entry into the rich Scandinavian scholarship which has been largely unavailable in English. Further context is offered by the inclusion of important English comparative material and of broader studies of medieval painting and aspects of analysis, all extensively illustrated with color reproductions. These contributions comprise definitive studies by some of the most prominent medieval scholars in Europe and entirely new technical investigations of important medieval objects. Divided into three main categories - technical studies of individual objects, technical art history and analysis and art history - this book will be essential reading for anyone interested in medieval painting and polychromy., English, Year2006, Illust.

New York 2008. In September of 1893, Norwegian zoologist Fridtjof Nansen and crew manned the schooner Fram, intending to drift, frozen in the Arctic pack-ice, to the North Pole. When it became clear that they would miss the pole, Nansen and companion Hjalmar Johansen struck off by themselves. Racing the shrinking pack-ice, they attempted, by dog-sled, to go "farthest north." They survived a winter in a moss hut eating walruses and polar bears, and the public assumed they were dead. In the spring of 1896, after three years of trekking, and having made it to within four degrees of the pole, they returned to safety. Nansen's narrative stands with the best writing on polar exploration., English, Year2008, Illust. B/W194, Illust. Color0, ISBN 9781602392373, Code 6675. RETAIL ONLY..

Sweden 2002. This international multimedia artist often returns to her childhood, and her childhood is also ours. She reduces the people in the family album of her childhood so that they emerge as black silhouettes in an indistinct landscape. She makes vinyl dolls without heads, hands, and feet, linked together in an eternal game, or she makes foam-rubber children, enclosed in their clothing. Her works also take their departure in her own body, her own face - in sculptures and drawing with the skin overlaid by a meander pattern - or else in photographs taken from below with the focus on her naked throat. The exhibition will present various expressions among other things pose questions about relations, identity, and socialization - we will meet an artist with an unusual strength. This book reveals the genius of this celebrated artist who has successfully found an array of materials and media that serve as poignant and powerful forms of expression. , English/ Swedish, Year2002, Illust.
