Finland 1997. In the last twenty years the Woolf family has been most generous in lending to the many Fabergé exhibitions organized around the world. The Lahti loan differs in both the quantity and that the pieces inculded have not been widely viewed by the public. Thirty-five items were chosen for the Lahti Art Museum show and are representative of the true “Woolf taste”, which is a fine blend of simplicity, quality, artistry and humor. They indicate a preference for the Russian Modern Style, Art Nouveau and Orientalism., English/ Finnish/ Swedish, Year1997, Illust. B/W11, Illust. Color34, ISBN 9525125084, Code 3398.

Sweden 1997. This exhibition displays the exquisite works from the Fabergé jewelry house in St. Petersburg and Moscow. This exhibition serves as a reminder both of Sweden’s past ties to its neighbor in the east and Sweden’s fascination with what they considered the exotic Russian Empire. In fact, many of the master jewelers have Swedish names, yet another reminder that Russia once belonged to Sweden. Swedes regard Russian crafts very highly, as the elegance and inherent value of these objects mirror the excess characteristic of the time of the Empire. Though this excess eventually led to the fall of the Empire, it was also responsible for the wondrously imaginative and dazzling handicrafts that emerged from its most renowned jewelry house. This book presents a complete catalog of over 300 works, as well as a detailed chronology and essays elaborating on topics such as the Fabergé house’s historical background, artwork, and its relationship with Sweden., Swedish, Year1997, Illust.

Spain 2001. Moving from one place to another, constantly changing countries, and always living as a foreigner allows for an expressiveness that is inaccessible to the sedentary artist. In that same sense, travelling to marginalized or peripheral territories can result in an unusual representation of the world. This is the situation of Fahlström, who used his work as a keen cartographic instrument to measure the planet’s geopolitical and geopoetic changes. His work–ranging from islands to peninsulas to continents and planetary maps–take the language of the comic to its logical conclusion. Through that the artist filters historical and cultural information, encouraging an ethical understanding of how the globe is represented. His maps are an amorphous representation of the flow of power over territory., English, Year2001, Illust. B/W117, Illust. Color164, ISBN 8495273497, Code 6230. RETAIL ONLY..
