Our team includes specialists in art, culture, music, book trade and media but in spite of our diversity we have one common ground: the enthusiasm for unique art books.
We purchase remaining stocks from museums, publishers and art institutions. We sell these remainders to bookstores, museum shops, and art dealers all over the world.
Bargain of the week: Alexander Calder – Minimal / Maximal
Alexander Calder’s sculptural works can fit in the palm of a hand, or tower over a city square. Throughout his career Calder brilliantly moved from the miniature to the monumental and back again.
This fascinating exhibition catalog examines how the artist’s sensitivity to matters of size, scale and shape engaged audiences in a variety of ways. And it explores how Calder approached the effects of kinetics and space, solidity and transparency, stasis and activity, volume and void.
