Hardcover. Condition: New. First Edition. SIGNED. 472pp. Octavo. [23.5cm] Photographically illustrated paper over boards. No dust jacket as issued. Signed by the author on the title page. "Brigham Young had over 50 wives and 56 children, but none has better name recognition than daughter Susa Young Gates (1856-1933). Yet she, like so many women of Mormonism's past, has remained a mystery to most church members. In Susa Young Gates, Romney Burke paints a portrait of a strong woman who rose to prominence within the church, fought for the rights of women throughout the country, yet dealt with personal trials and her share of heartbreak. The divorce of Susa from her first husband was so traumatic that she never again mentioned that union or his name in public. Eight of her 13 children died before adulthood. She was unable to reconcile her older sister's departure from the LDS Church and conversion to Catholicism. Yet, despite her trials, Susa found fulfillment in her faith through service, as a prolific writer-co-authoring with her daughter Leah Dunford Widtsoe the 1930 biography of her father, Life Story of Brigham Young, founding the Young Woman's Journal in 1889, the Relief Society Magazine in 1915, and in her associations with such prominent women's advocates as Susan B. Anthony.". Signed.…

Trade Paperback. Condition: Very Good. First Edition. New York: Metropolitan Museum of Art/Harry Abrams, 1992. First edition to accompany exhibition of French excavations, now at the Louvre and on loan to the Met. 4to. 316 pp. Lavishly illustrated in color with index and bibliography. The ancient city of Susa (biblical Shushan) lay at the edge of the Iranian plateau, not far from the great cities of Mesopotamia. A strategically located and vital center, Susa absorbed diverse influences and underwent great political fluctuations during the several thousand years of its history. When French archaeologists began to excavate its site in the nineteenth century, the astonishing abundance of finds greatly expanded our understanding of the ancient Near East. The artifacts were taken to Paris through diplomatic agreement and became a centerpiece of the Louvre's great collection of Near Eastern antiquities. These works are rarely loaned, but a remarkable selection that includes many undisputed masterpieces, brought to The Metropolitan Museum of Art for exhibition, is presented in this comprehensive publication. Susa was settled about 4000 B.C. and has yielded striking pottery finds from that prehistoric period. A rich production followed of objects for daily use, ritual, and luxury living, finely carved in various materials or fashioned of clay. Monumental sculpture was made in stone or bronze, and dramatic friezes were composed of brilliantly glazed bricks. Among the discoveries are tiny, intricately carved cylinder seals and splendid jewelry. Clay balls marked with symbols offer fascinating testimony to the very beginnings of writing; clay tablets from later periods bearing inscriptions in cuneiform record political history, literature, business transactions, and mathematical calculations. A very important group of finds from Susa is made up of objects brought back as booty from conquests in Mesopotamia. These works, many of them the royal monuments of Akkadian and Babylonian monarchsfor instance, the great stele of Naram-Sinare among the best known of all objects from the ancient Near East. Altogether, the exhibition presents more than two hundred objects found at Susa, produced over a period of about 3500 years. They come from all periods of the site's settlement, from it earliest history to its adornment as a major city of the opulent Achaemenid Persian empire. Eighteen French and American scholars have contributed essays to this volume on subjects that include the history of art in ancient Iran from prehistoric settlement through the Achaemenid period; the history of the excavations at Susa; the development of writing; seals and sealings; royal and religious structures at Susa; objects brought from Mesopotamia; brick decoration; popular art; and cuneiform texts. Recent results of ongoing research into the archaeology of Susa are discussed. Analyses of specific techniques are included as well as reports on the conservation of objects. Each work in the exhibition is illustrated and fully described, with references to relevant publications. Light edge wear, rear corners rubbed. No writing inside. Hinges sound. Appears little-read.

OLeinen / Hardcover (cloth). 1. Aufl. Susa Templin baut Räume. Dabei geht sie aus von der Fotografie, ohne sich im klassischen Sinne als Fotografin zu verstehen. So steht auch nicht das einzelne Bild im Zentrum ihres künstlerischen Interesses, sondern sie arbeitet in Zyklen und thematischen Reihen, wobei ihr die fotografischen Bilder zu allererst als Basis dienen, als Bausteine, um mittels anderer Medien dem Modell, der Skulptur und der Installation in den realen Raum vorzudringen. Anders gesagt: Die immer schon raumhaltige, aber flächige Fotografie wird erweitert zu plastischen Bildgebäuden, die sich dann auch körperlich erfahren lassen, die den Betrachter einladen, sie zu betreten und sich in ihnen zu bewegen. - Der Katalog Real Estate versammelt verschiedene Werkzyklen der in Berlin und Frankfurt lebenden Künstlerin: Ausgehend von ihren fotografischen Stadterkundungen, die während ihres langjährigen Aufenthalts in New York entstanden sind, über ihre Beschäftigung mit Wasser und simulierter Natur bis hin zu den Zyklen Reflexives Spaces und Totale Wohnung, in denen sich Susa Templin mit Wohn- und Innenräumen befasst.
