Описание: The Toms collection boasts one of the most important groupings of tapestries privately assembled during the second half of the twentieth century. The more than 100 examples, woven between the sixteenth and nineteenth centuries in workshops of Flanders, France, Italy and England, are noteworthy not only for their geographic, historical and thematic diversity but also for their remakable condition. Mary Toms, widow of Reginald Toms, bequeathed this legacy in 1993 to the Canton of Vaud (Switzerland). This catalogue documents all the woven works in the Toms collection, providing historical and artistic analysis. The authors, Guy Delmarcel, Nicole de Reyniиs and Wendy Hefford, are all recognised authorities in their respective fields of Flemish, French and English tapestry. Readers can discover a broad range of works belonging to one of Europe's great artistic traditions. Acquired on the art market in the 1960s, the tapestries had disappeared from public and scholarly view for nearly half a century. This richly illustrated volume is intended for novice readers, veteran tapestry lovers, and specialists alike.

Описание: Since the 1970s, members of the Hilti family have been actively engaged in the collection of art. In the early 1990s, the family created the Hilti Art Foundation to support the systematic long-term development and growth of the collection, which currently contains some two hundred paintings, sculptures, objects, and photographs from the period of classical modernism to the present. A characteristic trait of private collections is that they reflect the individual interests of the respective collectors, their highly personal approach to art, and after more than twenty years of dedicated collecting activity, the Hilti family's interest in cubism, futurism, expressionism, and surrealism, along with concrete art and Zero, has led them to become recognizable and increasingly important focal points. Originating in a desire for beauty and aesthetic pleasure--which excludes ugliness, yet still allows for exploration of the abyss within the beautiful--the collection is marked by pronounced sensuous qualities, especially in the genre of painting. At the same time, however, it is guided by a conscious perception of the formal and conceptual changes in the art of the late nineteenth and the entire twentieth century. The goal of the collection is to continually broaden and publicly disseminate the understanding of this epoch.

Volume 1 of this two-part catalogue of the collection presents eighty selected works from the late nineteenth to the mid-twentieth century. Ranging from post-impressionism, expressionism, cubism, futurism, neo-plasticism, and surrealism to abstraction, the volume includes works from Gauguin, Picasso, Giacometti, Lehmbruck, Boccioni, Kirchner, Gris, Feininger, Dubuffet, Klee, Beckmann, Mir , L ger, Mondrian, Kandinsky, Wols, and more. Volume 2 features more than one hundred selected works from the middle of the twentieth century to the present, including works from Albers, Struth, Fontana, Klein, Manzoni, Uecker, Mack, Colombo, Albers, Bill, Fruhtrunk, von Graevenitz, Richter, Sonnier, Honegger, Gotthard Graubner, Knoebel, and Scully.
