Paperback. Condition: Very Good. In 1892 Degas' painting "In the Cafe" was sold for a mere 180 guineas at auction, with the public hissing as the hammer fell. Less than a century later another Impressionist work, Renoir's "Moulin de la Galette" sold at Sotheby's for $78 million, accompanied by enthusiastic applause. In this hist…ory-cum-memoir Philip Hook, Senior Director of Sotheby's Impressionist and Modern Art department, examines the public's change of heart toward Impressionism. Starting with its shocking novelty and confounding style, he traces the impact of the Impressionist painting as it spread to Germany, America and Great Britain, polarizing modernists and conservatives.Equally fascinating is the story of Impressionism's change in status. More than exceptionally pretty pictures, Impressionist works have become a currency in their own right, being bought and sold like blue-chip stock - coveted as much for their monetary worth as for their intrinsic beauty. Drawn from Hook's own experiences with art collectors and dealers, this fascinating chapter in art history is narrated through the lens of today's art market.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. After having been reviled for decades, the 1950s has finally been reconsidered for its freshness, freedom and oblique vision of the world. The colourful, organic style that most decisively defined the period came to be seen as eccentric and frivolous, but now 1950s design has become collectible a…nd examples from this decade are taking their place in museums alongside other classics of the century. "Design in the Fifties: When Everyone Went Modern" includes numerous full-colour and black-and-white illustrations of examples of design from the period, ranging from architecture, engineering and transport, and from economical, good design creations to dime-store novelties. The book examines the innovative style that reflected the new optimism and consumerism of postwar culture, tracing its development not only in the context of art and design but also in terms of history. It shows a society smitten with the idea of being modern and influenced by the growing field of marketing, advertising and the powerful new medium of television. The objects gain a broader sense of context because many of them are illustrated in advertisements from the 1950s, seen from the perspective of their period. This readable book analyzes and documents the interaction of a wide range of design objects and styles from the 1950s, making it of interest not only to the specialist but also to a broader public.
