As archaeologists unearth the past, they seek meaning or purpose
for the objects they uncover by looking at the objects themselves
and their archaeological context. Art historians, on the other
hand, primarily focus on aesthetics, asking why a particular object
stimulates our senses, and what that tells us about ourselves. From
Ancient to Modern offers a lens for understanding ancient objects
through the perspectives and processes of both archaeology and
aesthetics, and, in so doing, illuminates the multiple layers of
meaning that a single object can take on--sometimes
simultaneously--over the course of its existence. This beautifully
illustrated volume is the accompanying catalog for the exhibition
at New York University's Institute for the Study of the Ancient
World and focuses on fifty objects from three iconic sites in the
ancient Near East: Ur, Diyala, and Kish. The excavation, unique
characteristics, and transformative journey of each object--from
archaeological artifact to aesthetic item--are examined. Select
contemporary artworks are also considered in the investigation of
how ancient objects acquire meaning in the present day.

Antoni Gaudi fue un arquitecto completo y su obra personal y
propia, marco una profunda huella en diversos arquitectos coetaneos
y de generaciones posteriores, tanto dentro como fuera de Cataluna.
Esta guia ofrece un exhaustivo recorrido por las obras que este
arquitecto realizo en Barcelona, sin olvidar (en un apendice final)
las que construyo en Castilla, Cantabria y Baleares. La descripcion
de cada obra se realiza de un modo detallado y con una amplia
documentacion tanto arquitectonica (plantas, secciones y alzados)
como fotografica (vistas del interior y detalles de herrajes,
mobiliario y mosaicos que ilustran el concepto de "bra total"
caracteristico de los trabajos de este arquitecto).
