Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. F.J.L. Ghijsels; A Quiet Collector is the fascinating story of the evolution of an important collection of Indonesian art between 1910-1929. One of the most renowned colonial architects in the first half of the 20th century, the discovery that Ghijsels was also an avid collector comes as a surprise. Born in Java in the 19th century and educated in Holland, Ghijsels was a member of a new generation that in contrast to his predecessors greatly prized the artistic heritage of the land of his birth. A dedicated modernist, he was a member of a small but highly influential group of architects and city planners including Wolff Schoemakker, Henri Maclaine Pont and the fiery Thomas Kersten all of whom were graduates or affiliated with Delft University of Technology. Together with the architects P.A.J. Moojen and Cosmos Citroen, they would build many of the most iconic buildings, now heritage sites, in Indonesia that still influence young Indonesian architects. In addition they would, together prominent scholars, government leaders and art lovers, many who were also collectors, support cultural conferences, institutions and museums. Mostly held in Yogyakarta, these forums offered a unique opportunity for Indonesian intellectuals including many Javanese aristocrats to interact and work together despite this being frowned upon in official circles. After a long and successful career, Ghijsels would return to Europe to reunite with his family. Unfortunately the outbreak of World War Two would bring dramatic change and an early death. Until recently, like all the Dutch colonial architects, his legacy was largely ignored or forgotten in Holland. Richly illustrated with his architectural work and eclectic collection of often rare objects and art pieces, this book is a testament to a long lost era and the enduring beauty of Indonesian arts and crafts.

240 pp.; c.220 colour illus., map, bibliography. Leiden, 2014. Hbk. Museum Nusantara in Delft was a small-scale, much-loved museum entirely dedicated to the varied cultures of Indonesia. For over a century, visitors have been able to admire the splendid art treasures, many of which came from their land of origin. Most regrettably, the Gemeenteraad of Delft closed the museum as of early January 2013 due to budgetary reasons. Those who took the museum (the only one in the world outside Indonesia to exclusively hold Indonesian objects) to heart consider this a deplorable decision. The Nusantara Foundation representing its donors felt that highlights from the collection should be saved from oblivion and initiated this publication. In this way, Museum Nusantara will to a certain degree continue to exist, albeit that its collection will be housed within another museum structure.

200 pp.; 100 colour plates, field photographs, maps, index of ethnic groups, bibliography. Leiden, 2017. Cloth. In slipcase. Regarded as inferior in Western eyes, in sub-Saharan Africa copper proved to be a much coveted material which was applied in bodily adornments, in statuettes and as a means of exchange. Brass became a highly valued metal almost rivalling gold in lustre as well as glitter: a typical West African and Central African phenomenon. Among certain African ethnic groups, adornments served not only to distinguish oneself, they could also be regarded the most personal mementoes of the wearer after his or her demise, and were placed as an aide-memoire on the family altar in order to present oblations to on appropriate occasions. From the many hundreds of items included in the collection acquired by Harry and Miep Schillings, this book introduces some hundred items chosen on the basis of their shape, rarity and decorative motifs.
