Synopsis
The exhibition catalog is the first survey of Gothic ivories in English. It contains essays by seven leading international scholars, including Peter Barnet (Gothic Sculpture in Ivory: An Introduction), Elizabeth Sears (Ivory and Ivory-Workers in Medieval Paris), Richard H. Randall, Jr. (Popular Romances Carved in Ivory), Harvey Stahl (Narrative Structure and Content in Some Gothic Ivories of the Life of Christ), Charles T. Little (Opera Francigeno et Germania: Gothic Ivory Carving in Germany), Danielle Gaborit-Chopin (Polychrome Decoration of Gothic Ivories), and Paul Williamson (Symbiosis across Scale: Gothic Ivories and Culture in Stone and Wood in the Thirteenth Century). Nearly one hundred of the most important examples of Gothic ivory carving from collections in Europe and the United States are catalogued by leading specialists. They are illustrated with mostly new photography and collateral photographs where appropriate.
The publication conveys to the reader the major changes that occurred in art and society during the Gothic period and the rise of ivory carving for both religious and secular purposes. Organized chronologically, the catalog tells the story of the development of this art form; the people who carved, commissioned, and made use of ivories in the Middle Ages; and the impact historical developments had on the growth and eventual demise of the art form.

Softcover. Blue and black & color illus. wraps. 332 pp. Profuse color and bw plates. Issued in conjunction with several 1997 exhibitions of Gothic ivory carvings. "We can offer the public the rare pleasure of seeing first-hand these magnificent works of art brought together from many of the best-known museums of Europe and America. Leaves of diptychs that have long been divided are reunited here for the first time in modern history. . Scholars from around the world can make close comparisons of stylistically and iconographically similar ivories, testing the correctness of specific workshop attributions. And, as an added bonus that appeals to our human curiosity and challenges our eyes, the last section of this exhibition focuses on a number of ivories that present various problems of authenticity, including several that are blatant modern fakes. The present handsome catalogue advances our knowledge and appreciation of ivories." (foreword) With illustrated essays by Peter Barnet, Elizabeth Sears, Paul Williamson, Danielle Gaborit-Chopin, Richard H. Randall, Jr., Charles T. Little, and Harvey Stahl. The annotated and illustrated catalogue presents 93 pieces in these categories: The first Gothic ivories; Paris and other centers: devotional objects; Secular objects and the Romance tradition; New devekopments in irvory and bone carving; and Epilogue: pastiches, revivals, forgeries, and open questions. Includes a bibliography. Stunning images. VG (Clean interior; may have some rubbing or scuffing to covers). Seller Inventory # 19656
