Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A tribute to the diverse artistic expressions of the ephemeral nature of life in Japanese art. From weathered, centuries-old wooden sculptures and broken tea bowls repaired with gold lacquer to paintings and woodcuts depicting cherry blossom festivals and man's relationship with water in all its forms, A Floating World presents Japan as a nation with a unique aesthetic language of the ephemeral. In a place where earthquakes, tsunamis and human-made catastrophes can snatch away life at any moment, an art flourishes that is in constant awareness of the precious fragility of our existence - in a breathtakingly beautiful, quiet and fascinating celebration of transience. This restless, dynamic and ultimately deeply relaxed way of life, which finds parallels in the ancient Greek and Roman concepts of panta rhei (everything flows) and carpe diem (seize the day), finds its expression in the diverse works gathered in this catalogue, and accompanying exhibition at the Museum Angewandte Kunst. From 14th-century sculptures, through Hokusai's Great Wave and up to bold contemporary painting and photography, A Floating World is an elegant testimony to motion and impermanence in Japanese art and culture. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Hardback. Condition: New. Text in English and German. The way we sit simultaneously defines privileges, social status, power, and taboos. Parallel to the presentation of China as the guest of honour at the Frankfurt Book Fair 2009, the Museum für Angewandte Kunst in Frankfurt presents a panorama of Chinese sitting culture through a period of five centuries. Exclusive, noble Ming chairs stand side by side with chairs of the 18th and 19th century used by the middle class of that time. Limited sitting sculptures by renowned artist designers such as Shao Fan, Freeman Lau, Kenneth Cobonpue, XYZ-Design and Ji Liwei, who is also in charge of the interior design of the Chinese pavilion at the book fair, are confronted with the bourgeois sofas and sitting of the Chinese middle class of today. The "Bastard Chairs" of migrant workers and the homeless, day-to-day seats improvised out of pure need and made of trash and leftover materials, are commented in the sitting contexts of celebrities: emperors and courtesans, politicians and pop stars, athletes and students of product design show how sitting was done formerly and is done today. It ranges from a man of letters from the Ming era to the Qianglong emperor on the throne to Mao and Nixon in characteristic armchairs in Mao's best room. The most famous contemporary Chinese artist, Ai Weiwei, will also be represented with an excerpt of his grandiose chair performance at the Dokumenta XII. Of course, product piracy, which -- as the typical Chinese dipping figure "Shanzhai" -- has mean-while adopted characteristics that define society, is also dealt with.
