Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Toward a new New Worldthe interwoven 18th-century Americas as viewed through fine art, religious items, furniture, decorative objects and moreThe story of 18th-century art from the Americas has traditionally emphasized a narrative of exceptionalism and independence. Yet the reality of this history is a far more nuanced story of encounter and interdependence across the geographic regions that are known today as North America, South America, Central America and the Caribbean. Drawing a cultural cartography with objects from the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, Art in the Americas illustrates the exchange of ideas, materials, styles and techniques in the Western hemisphere. Family portraits by John Singleton Copley pair with pastel drawings of Black women in Guadeloupe; delicate blue-and-white Chinese export bowls sit alongside sterling silver Torah finials; an inlaid cabinet made in New Spain dazzles next to an Andean tapestry. Together with dozens of other objects, these works invert the typical dynamics of old world and new world; colonizer and colonized; tradition and innovation. Bolstered with essays by 27 writers, Art in the Americas reflects the range of voices who created fine and decorative arts in the 18th century, and those who study and present their legacy today.

Hardcover. Condition: New in shrinkwrap. Color-pictorial boards; white lettering. Decorative end papers; orange place-holder ribbon. XXIV, [2], 284 pp. full of color and a few bw illustrations. This publication accompanies the exhibition The Philosophy Chamber: Art and Science in Harvard's Teaching Cabinet, 1766-1820, on view at the Harvard Art Museums, Cambridge, Massachusetts, from May 19 through December 31, 2017, and at The Hunterian, University of Glasgow, Scotland, in 2018. This book explores the history and collections of one of the most unusual rooms in early America. Between 1766 and 1820, the Philosophy Chamber, a grand room adjacent to the Harvard College Library, was home to more than one thousand artifacts, natural specimens, and works of art dispatched to the college from points around the globe. Named for the discipline of natural philosophy, the Philosophy Chamber served as a lecture hall, experimental lab, and picture gallery. The room was frequented by an array of artists, scientists, travelers, and revolutionaries, and its collections stood at the center of artistic and intellectual life at Harvard and in the New England region for more than 50 years. Dispersed and hidden away for nearly 200 years, this unrivaled collection has been reunited for the first time since it was originally assembled, providing an invaluable window into the art and culture of early America.

Hardback. Condition: New. Nineteenth-century stoneware by enslaved and free potters living in Edgefield, South Carolina, highlights the central role of Black artists in the region's long-standing pottery traditions Recentering the development of industrially scaled Southern pottery traditions around enslaved and free Black potters working in the mid-nineteenth century, this catalogue presents groundbreaking scholarship and new perspectives on stoneware made in and around Edgefield, South Carolina. Among the remarkable works included are a selection of regional face vessels as well as masterpieces by enslaved potter and poet David Drake, who signed, dated, and incised verses on many of his jars, even though literacy among enslaved people was criminalized at the time. Essays on the production, collection, dispersal, and reception of stoneware from Edgefield offer a critical look at what it means to collect, exhibit, and interpret objects made by enslaved artisans. Several featured contemporary works inspired by or related to Edgefield stoneware attest to the cultural and historical significance of this body of work, and an interview with acclaimed contemporary artist Simone Leigh illuminates its continued relevance.Published by The Metropolitan Museum of Art/Distributed by Yale University PressExhibition Schedule:The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (September 9, 2022-February 5, 2023)  Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (March 6-July 9, 2023)  University of Michigan Museum of Art, Ann Arbor (August 26, 2023-January 7, 2024)  High Museum of Art, Atlanta (February 16-May 12, 2024).…
