Review Arne Jacobsen: Absolutely Modern / Louisiana Museum of Modern Art:

Danish designer and architect Arne Jacobsen would have been one hundred years old in 2002, and Absolutely Modern takes this centennial celebration as a wonderful excuse to look back on and also forward to his oeuvre and legacy. Jacobsen's most distinguishing characteristic was arguably his preoccupation with the Gesamtkunstwerk, with wanting to do it all, to apply design to everything, from the cellar to the roof, from silverware to the National Bank. Absolutely Modern looks at the range of objects and buildings he created throughout his career, and invites three international architects-Dominique Perrault, Gigon & Guyer, and Sejima and Nishizawa-to clarify his legacy against the background of their own practices.

Review Welcome Rain Publishers  / Chanel: Key Collections Publication date: 2000-10-01
Dewey code: 746

Review Chanel: Key Collections / Welcome Rain Publishers:

Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel’s contribution to 20th-century fashion is immeasurable. An extraordinary character whose luxurious lifestyle was exceeded only by her achievements as a businesswoman, she helped to change the way women felt about their own bodies and came to represent the independent, modern woman. Although much has been written about Chanel’s often controversial life, here Melissa Richards focuses on the clothes themselves that have made her the most innovative and influential of all fashion designers. From the earliest days of the garçonne look and the little black dress to the ubiquitous tweed suits and contemporary haute couture, ten major collections are examined in great detail. These range from Chanel’s earliest real collection in 1916 to the first ready-to-wear collection, the emergence of Karl Lagerfeld as her torchbearer, and the spirit of the house as it enters the new century. Richards offers commentary not only on the clothes but also the accessories, jewelry, cosmetics and perfumes of each key collection. She also sketches the moods and trends of the times in which the collections were introduced to help the reader better understand the collections’ originality and the reactions they provoked. Researched and produced with the full cooperation and help of Chanel in Paris, Chanel: Key Collections is a stunning tribute to the glory and vision of the flagship of haute couture, filled with color and b&w illustrations, from reproductions of the earliest Chanel designs to photographs of celebrities and supermodels such as Karl Lagerfeld, Naomi Campbell, Helena Christensen, Linda Evangelista, Kate Moss, and Marilyn Monroe.

Review Women and Ceramics: Gendered Vessels (Studies in Design) / Manchester University Press:

Since the earliest times women have made pottery and clay sculptures, and they have cooked, carried water, stored and served food in pottery. They have used ceramics in domestic rituals and decorative display. In her wide-ranging discussion of this subject, Moira Vincentelli examines some of the great female ceramic traditions such as Pueblo pottery and considers the notable success women have had over the last century from Susie Cooper and Eva Zeisel in design to individual ceramic artists such as Lucie Rie and Magdalene Odundo. She also shows how women have left their mark in the field of ceramics as writers, teachers, business women, gallery owners and collectors.
