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.
