    paperback. Condition: Very Good. J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles, CA, Published date: 2001. Softcover; 48 pp; 26 cm. Illustrated throughout with 30 color and 17 black-and-white illustrations; select bibliography. In very good condition. Glossy pictorial paper covers have light shelf wear and faint surface scuffing; Binding sound. Faint discolored patch on forward page from laid-in piece of paper; otherwise, interior pages clean and unmarked. Exhibition catalog published in conjunction with the 2001 Los Angeles exhibition devoted to the extraordinary large-scale Meissen porcelain animals commissioned by Augustus the Strong (1670-1733), Elector of Saxony and King of Poland. The volume examines the ambitious project to create nearly life-size porcelain animal figures for the Japanese Palace in Dresden between 1730 and 1735. Essays discuss the historical context of Augustus's collecting, the furnishing of the Japanese Palace as a "porcelain palace," the role of Johann Joachim Kaendler (1706-1775) and Gottlob Kirchner (1706-), and the technical procedures and production challenges involved in modeling and firing monumental porcelain sculpture. Illustrated with detailed photographs of surviving animals including goats, birds, parrots, monkeys, tigers, and other figures from the Dresden Porcelain Collection. [From front flap] The extraordinary Meissen animals made for Augustus the Strong, who ruled simultaneously as elector of Saxony and king of Poland, were perhaps the most significant commission for porcelain ever executed in Europe. The figures, which were nearly life-size, presented enormous difficulties in making and firing, and their mere completion was a tour de force. Augustus the Strong (1670-1733) had long been a collector of Japanese and Chinese porcelain, and it was to house his collection that the Japanese Palace in Dresden was purchased. In 1729 Augustus enlarged the building to nearly double its original size in order to create a "porcelain palace." One gallery was to be entirely devoted to Meissen porcelain figures, including the exceptional animal figures that are the subject of this book and the exhibition it accompanies. The author, Samuel Wittwer, is curator of the ceramics collections at the Prussian Palaces and Gardens Foundation (Stiftung Preussische Schlosser und Garten Berlin-Brandenburg) and the historical archives of the Royal Porcelain Manufactory, Berlin.…

    Paperback. Condition: Fine. 1st. 48 pages, illustrations (some colour); 26 cm. Firm binding, clean inside copy. *** "'Heroic' is perhaps the only word to describe the Meissen porcelain animals made for the Elector of Saxony, Frederick-Augustus. They were commissioned in 1728 and modeled and executed by 1735. The great size of the figures presented many technical difficulties in creation and firing. Their mere completion in so many cases was itself a tour de force, making it arguably the most significant commission for porcelain executed in Europe. Presented here are the large figures of animals from the collection of Frederick-Augustus, currently on exhibition at the Getty Museum until January 2002. Frederick-Augustus had long been a collector of Japanese and Chinese porcelain. He created the most ambitious interior for porcelain planned anywhere in Europe, the famous Japanese Palace in Dresden. On the upper floor was a gallery devoted to Meissen porcelain, filled with vases, great dishes, and the animal figures displayed in this beautifully illustrated book./ Samuel Wittwer is curator of the ceramics collections at the Prussian Palaces and Gardens Foundation and of the archives of the Royal Porcelain Manufactory, Berlin." - Publisher. Size: 4to. Collectible.…

    Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Tiere für das Schloss des Königs - geschaffen von wahren Großmeistern der Porzellankunst. Dieser Band gewährt unter anderem einen gezielten Blick auf die Umstände der Herstellung der Meißner Porzellantiere und auf das Kunstverständnis bzw. Tierverständnis ihrer Schöpfer. Darüber hinaus geht der Autor der Frage nach, welche Bedeutung den Meißener Tiergroßplastiken in, aber auch nach ihrer Entstehungszeit zukam bzw. zukommt.Zwei Hauptwerke der Dresdener Kunst um 1730 werden erstmals in ihrer Wechselwirkung untersucht und in den zeitlichen, räumlichen und künstlerischen Kontext des sächsischen Hofes gestellt. Zahlreiche Quellenzitate und ein umfangreicher Katalogteil machen diese Monographie überdies zu einem Nachschlagewerk für eine der faszinierendsten Phasen der Meißner Porzellanmanufaktur. Die großformatigen Tierfiguren, die in der Manufaktur Meißen zwischen 1731 und 1736 entstanden, stellen die wohl herausragendste Leistung der Porzellankunst des 18. Jahrhunderts dar. Sie waren für das Japanische Palais Augusts des Starken in Dresden bestimmt, für welches mehrere hundert lebensgroße Tierplastiken bestellt wurden. Von dieser zerbrechlichen Menagerie lassen sich zahlreiche Verbindungen zu anderen Tiersammlungen am Dresdener Hof knüpfen und die besondere Stellung des Japanischen Palais unterstreichen. Die zwei Hauptmeister der Meißener Großplastik, Johann Gottlieb Kirchner und Johann Joachim Kaendler, sind Vertreter sowohl der traditionellen als auch der neuen Sichtweise, wodurch ihre Schöpfungen für die Menagerie des Japanischen Palais gleichsam zu Zeugnissen verschiedener Strömungen spätbarocker Kunst wurden. 360 pp. Englisch.…
