Off all the artists who have called Santa Fe Home, Gustave baumann is among the most beloved. For nearly five decades beginning in 1918, the renowned printmaker cultivated friendships and other art colonists that were full of the colourful, artistic, humorous, small town flavor brought to life in this delightful collection of holiday cards the artists made for each other and their families. B.j.O. Nordfeldt, Ernest Blumenschein, Will Shuster, Doel Reed, Willard Nash and John Sloan and many more join Baumann in the Christmas and New Year greeting cards assembled here that range from satirical and whimiscal to humorous and hopeful, with commentary about the current state of the world or the artist's place in the world. Woodcuts, phot-engraving, lithography, etching-the hand-drawn, hand-painted and hand-coloured cards show off the personalities of the artists and how the events of the world around them touched their lives in personal, often bemused ways. Drawn from the Ann Baumann Trust as well as museum and private collections, the cards will be part of an exhibition at the New Mexico Museum of History curated by Jean Moss and Palace of the Governors Press director and printmaker Thomas Leech.

This accessible and useful book will be an invaluable guide for all those interested in printmaking - from obtaining an understanding of different prints to buying for investment. The author covers areas such as collecting, explaining what constitutes an original print, how to spot copies, different types of print (from traditional to digital techniques), information on buying and selling prints, copyright, framing and conservation.

Auf Gut Hohen Luckow in Mecklenburg entstand in den vergangenen zwolf Jahren eine erstaunliche Sammlung von Terrinen, Ecuelles a bouillon, Wochnerinnen- und Wuerzbierschalen sowie Gemueseschuesseln und Deckeldosen des 18. Jahrhunderts. Die einzigartige Sammlung wird hier erstmals in Buchform der Offentlichkeit vorgestellt. Die zahlreichen Spitzenobjekte und Gebrauchsgeschirre aus Fayence und Zinn wurden in fast fuenfzig namhaften Manufakturen hergestellt. Vertreten sind insgesamt zwolf europaische Lander. Die Gefasse reprasentieren einen wichtigen Ausschnitt der prunkvollen Tafelkultur des Barock und Rokoko, dessen Ausgangspunkt der Hof Ludwigs XIV. in Versailles war. Der Einfluss des franzosischen Hofes sollte sich in allen europaischen Zentren rasch durchsetzen. Die vielseitig gestaltete und kuenstlerisch hochstehende Sammlung wird in prachtigen grossformatigen Fotografien gezeigt. Sie werden begleitet von wissenschaftlichen Beschreibungen der Objekte und Bemerkungen zu Entstehung, Nutzung und kulturgeschichtlichen Hintergruenden.
