While it has become increasingly commonplace to speak of how history books omit the stories of people of color, rarely is the discussion broad enough to examine how these same omissions are replicated in institutions outside the academy. One such institution is the museum, particularly the history museum, which, much like a history book, is popularly perceived as a repository of truth. But as Mining the Museum, a book based on the award-winning collaboration between The Contemporary, The Maryland Historical Society, and installation artist Fred Wilson illustrates, museums are not neutral places.

This three volume set on World War II German swords by LTC (Ret.) Thomas M. Johnson, a leading collector and authoritative researcher, is a follow-up to his successful and highly acclaimed four volume series on World War II German daggers by Schiffer Publishing (1995). Johnson is the author of some twenty-six reference books on the subject of German edged weaponry. This sword series has been designed to aid not only the beginning collector, but also the seasoned advanced collector and specialist. These volumes are the result of many years of arduous research conducted on both sides of the Atlantic, and are a scholarly study that is more than a perfunctory annotation and illustration of the known basis patterns. Also, the series is a study of a culture and the crafts that actually produced the blades, as well as being a manual in the art of collecting them. The embracing scope is both educational and recreational, and adds a whole new dimension to this popular collecting subject as a whole. Within these books one finds the historical background, the manufacturing techniques, constructional information, the actual basic patterns, variations and rarities, and a whole host of salient facts of absorbing interest.

Unique art jewelry inspired by The Met. A German or French pendant (ca. 1870-95) in the form of a marvelous mermaid is transformed into an eye-catching brooch. Our adornment adapts the baroque pearl torso on the original, now in The Met collection, with a cultured freshwater pearl, likewise embellished with colorful enamel and sparkling accents. Her tiara and long, wispy tail are among the attributes also present in two unpublished designs for a mermaid jewel by the German goldsmith Reinhold Vasters (German, 1827-1909), now in the Victoria and Albert Museum, London. The variation in quality and variety of objects made according to Vasters's designs indicate that his visions were likely realized by a fleet of different artisans.

Elegant Pearl Jewelry, Art-Inspired Necklace Our elegant necklace, adorned with cultured freshwater pearls, recalls the lustrous pearl jewelry depicted in European paintings in The Met collection. These masterworks include Judith with the Head of Holofernes, ca. 1530, by Lucas Cranach the Elder (German, 1472-1553); Portrait of a Young Woman with a Fan, 1633, by Rembrandt van Rijn (Dutch, 1606-1669); and many others. Beginning in the 16th century, expanding global trade routes made pearls an affordable luxury for many. The elite of Renaissance Europe lavishly draped themselves with pearls as symbols of status, taste, and wealth.

Stunning jewelry is the ideal gift for her. This shimmering mother-of-pearl necklace pays tribute to a double beaker crafted around 1593/94-1602 by the consummate goldsmith Georg Rühl (German, master 1598, died 1625), who was duly celebrated for the way he so artfully mounted exotic materials with gilded silver. The vessel in The Met collection that inspired this suite boasts mother-of-pearl stripes likely taken from an object made in Gujarat, India.

An art ornament set inspired by The Met collection. Our golden star and silvery snowflake ornaments celebrate two spectacular shields in The Met's Arms and Armor collection. Our 2024 star honors a spectacular German shield belonging to a small 16th-century garniture (a suit with modifiable elements) forged for the Elizabethan courtier Sir John Smythe (1534-1607). The original shield is stamped with a mark consisting of the letter "A" within a pearled circle on the interior. The exterior is wonderfully etched and gilded, with cartouches featuring allegorical figures of Fortune, Justice, and Fortitude. This year's snowflake adapts the magnificent detailing on an Indian shield, or dhál. Forged in the 19th century, the shield boasts an extraordinary example of the koftgari technique, also known as "false" or "counterfeit" damascening-a term alluding to the Syrian capital of Damascus and the apparent Eastern origins of this technique. While "true" damascening is a complex inlaying process requiring careful undercutting and hammering, the Museum's shield boasts impressive decoration achieved with greater ease: eye-catching designs in gold and silver foil or wire cover a crosshatched steel base. Our Angel Tree Ornament depicts an elegant late 18th-early 19th-century angel from The Met's celebrated Christmas Tree and Neapolitan Baroque Crèche. This popular Museum installation features an 18th-century Neapolitan Nativity scene at the base of the tree, with a host of exquisitely carved and dressed angels soaring in the branches above the Holy Family. The decoration and illumination of this majestic tree is a cherished annual event of the holiday season. This limited-edition ornament trio was produced exclusively for the 2024 holiday season.

This catalogue of an exhibition at the J. Paul Getty Museum--to be held from October 10, 2006, to March 25, 2007--brings together a select group of paintings from Dresden's Galerie Neue Meister, which houses one of the most significant collections of nineteenth- and twentieth-century German art. This exhibition places at its core works from the two best-known painters from Dresden: Caspar David Friedrich (1774-1840), a key voice of German Romanticism; and Gerhard Richter (b. 1932), the most celebrated German artist working today. The catalogue, one of the few resources in English on the subject, will feature paintings by Carl Gustav Carus, J. C. Dahl, Otto Dix, and Karl Schmidt-Rottluff from the period between 1800 and World War I, the heyday of painting in Dresden. It will also introduce unfamiliar artists to a wider audience and juxtapose well-known painters in new ways. Included are essays on the history of the Neue Meister galleries and German painting from this period, entries on individual paintings, and an interview with Gerhard Richter.

English summary: The collection of the actor Fritz Lichtenhahn has its own profile: neither the chronological nor geographical breadth of ancient pottery production or the variety of form, material or decoration interests the collector, but only the highest quality of Attic vases. As great connoisseurs, he and his wife amassed a small, exquisite collection of examples from the artistic splendor of Athens and placed it in a foundation and entrusted it to the Winckelmann-Gesellschaft for safe-keeping and care. This catalog was prepared by Eva Hofstetter, edited by Max Kunze, and designed and published by the Winckelmann-Gesellschaft. German text. German text.

Beautiful and eminently useful, stonewares produced in the German-speaking lands from the Middle Ages onward were highly valued for their durability and suitability for a range of domestic and social uses. Widely traded throughout Europe, they were also among the first European ceramics to reach colonial North America. During the Renaissance the addition of brilliant salt glazes—s well as relief imagery that communicated with the user—raised the status of these wares. Later examples introduced abstract floral or geometric decorations and more unusual, original forms, which retained broad cultural significance.About ninety fine stoneware pieces from the Philadelphia Museum of Art and a promised private collection testify here to the success, artful decoration, and fascinating variety of this medium. Jack Hinton describes the developments in stoneware through these notable examples, and beautiful color images bring their details vividly to life.
