Book excerpt: Eminent tastemaker Axel Vervoordt recounts the pivotal moments in his life that formed the foundation of his mindful philosophy and signature aesthetic. Axel Vervoordt is one of the world’s foremost tastemakers. Revered for his discerning eye in art and interior design through a career that has spanned more than fifty years, he is renowned for his captivating minimalist interiors. An iconic figure at the most prominent international art fairs and exhibitions, he incarnates a singular philosophy for how to live mindfully and with style. Axel recounts stories from the people who most influenced his life—his family, friends, patrons, artists, colleagues, clients, and unforgettable mentors—in this memoir that is personal, funny, insightful, and permeated with humility, wisdom, and lessons learned. He reflects on the key moments in his life—Rudolf Nureyev’s visit to the Vervoordts’ castle, Axel’s youthful acquisition (and subsequent sale) of a Magritte, his discovery of Japanese Gutai art, his legendary Venice exhibitions, and his experience working for notable clients and friends. He details his greatest successes and his personal regrets, while offering firsthand insight into the work that has forged his reputation. Axel is a larger-than-life and inspiring man, and this book offers snapshots from his life, painting an overall portrait of his guiding philosophy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seventeen homes demonstrate how Axel Vervoordt incorporates nature, art, and timeless interiors to create living spaces that encourage self-reflection, inspiration, and happiness. For a half century, Axel Vervoordt's vision has been defined by a continual quest for harmony, beauty, and the creation of interior atmospheres that are rooted in the past, connected to the future, and imbued with today's comforts. These eighteen residences--from an urban New York penthouse or Moscow apartment to a waterfront estate in New England, and from a Tokyo dwelling to a Bordeaux wine château or a Wabi-Sabi farmhouse--reveal how art complements architecture and the elements of nature in an alchemy of Vervoordt expression. Portraits of each residence--including the Vervoordts' own homes in Venice and Belgium--feature sweeping vistas of the surrounding landscape and a tour through the interiors. Each detail--from the materials used to the graceful placement of a well-chosen object--offers deep insight into the Vervoordt design approach and abiding principles for living and working well.

Book Synopsis Axel Vervoordt: Wabi Inspirations by : Axel Vervoordt
Download or read book Axel Vervoordt: Wabi Inspirations written by Axel Vervoordt and published by Rizzoli Publications. This book was released on 2011-02-22 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Interior design guru Axel Vervoordt shares his latest inspirations for the home. Axel Vervoordt’s intense curiosity has fueled his work as an interior designer, spurring him to explore and draw inspiration from cultures around the globe. He was first exposed to Eastern art and philosophy years ago, but today it has become the guiding principle in his work, particularly the concept of Wabi. Developed in the twelfth century, Wabi advocates simplicity and humility, the rejection of all that is superfluous or artificial. Through extraordinary photographs from Japan and Korea to Belgium and Switzerland, Vervoordt invites us to explore the elements that inspire him: natural materials and time-worn objects that evoke the essence of Wabi. Today, together with the Japanese architect Tatsuro Miki, Vervoordt carries the principles of Wabi into his remarkable interiors. As Vervoordt reveals how he infuses his current creations with a fundamentally oriental approach, interiors devotees will gain new insight from this tribute to the designer’s latest sources of inspiration for the home.

Download or read book Sven: My Story written by Sven-Göran Eriksson and published by Headline. This book was released on 2013-11-05 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Perhaps no football manager has ever had his personal life dissected as thoroughly as Sven-Goran Eriksson. Yet the man that monopolized the British press during five tumultuous years as England manager remains an enigma. Who, precisely, is Sven? Here, in his no-holds-barred autobiography, the secretive Swede takes us on one of the wildest rides in world football. Populated by fake sheikhs, Italian lawyers, Nottingham outlaws and, of course, many of the biggest names in the game, his is a 40-year-long career that coincides with the evolution of football into a global multibillion-pound industry. Most of all, this is a surprisingly tender, sometimes heartbreaking, but never bitter account of a simple man with a most complicated story. A man who has reached a crossroads in his life, who until now has never stopped to ask himself the question: was it worth it?

Download or read book Swarm written by Jorie Graham and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2011-12-20 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: T S. Eliot, Elizabeth Bishop, John Ashbery -- and Jorie Graham. The New Yorker places Ms. Graham in this distinguished line of poets, heralding the Pulitzer Prize winner as a profound voice in American poetry. Now, in her eighth collection, she further enhances her reputation with a book-length sequence of verse that is a stunning work of grandeur. The New Republic writes, "for 'swarm,' in other words...read 'be born again.' Graham is writing about a spiritual turning point, a new beginning.... Beauty -- that is, the pure sense-perception which has long been a concern for Graham -- is no longer the most important criterion. Now goodness is...[and] the idea of submission, of obedience, without understanding: one must 'yield' before 'hearing the reason' for yielding."
Download or read book Karl With A K written by Karl Lawrence and published by . This book was released on 2015-08 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hello, citizens of the planet earth. My name is Karl Lawrence a.k.a. the infamous "Special K," and I am happy to report that I finally made it to see the age of 18, in a city where turning 18 is an accomplishment -- The Bronx, New York. I'd just like to let every one of my readers know that I do not think of myself as being any better than anyone else. The blue blood that flows through my veins is common to all humankind, and I want out of life the same things that any reasonable person would -- freedom, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The only thing that I would say separates me from the average person is that whereas others suffer in silence, I take my suffering - along with the collective weight of my experiences, feelings and thoughts - and unload it, rather transform it into words of fire and passion. And with these words that I bled, sweat and cried onto these pages at the ripe tender age of 16, it is my sincere wish to service as many minds and hearts as I can with an uplifting message of inspiration and, most importantly, truth. For it is only the truth that shall set us all free, no matter how bitter a pill it may be to swallow

Download or read book Willem Hiele written by Willem Hiele and published by Hannibal. This book was released on 2020-02-21 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authentic North Sea cuisine of a rising star in international gastronomy "Willem Hiele brings the philosophy of the local produce of the polder landscape into his dishes in a beautiful way." - Gault&Millau Chef Willem Hiele has transformed the fisherman's house of his parents in the Belgian polders into a wonderful restaurant that exudes an authentic atmosphere. Fire, nature and local produce are all vital in Hiele's minimalist cuisine, which consistently creates a surprising diversity of flavors. Each dish has layers of complexity, yet at the same time always goes to the essence. The ingredients are pure and only receive the minimal treatment they need to bring out their flavors to the full. Local produce is key to Willem Hiele's cookery. Originating from Ostend, and descended from eight generations of sea fishermen, Hiele brings the pure natural power of the sea and its environs into his cuisine. He seeks his inspiration very locally and moulds it into dishes without frills. Foraged wild asparagus is combined with skin-fried halibut. Mixed with new plum blossom, the juice from windfall apples forms the basis of a perfect vinaigrette. Sloe ice cream from the polders brings the gastronomic adventure to a divine conclusion. It is therefore no surprise that Willem Hiele has drawn praise from both Michelin and Gault&Millau. With texts by Evelien Rutten, original recipes and food stories by Willem Hiele and authentic photos by Pieter D'Hoop. Text in English and Dutch.

Book Synopsis Overcoming the Problems of Art by : Yves Klein
Download or read book Overcoming the Problems of Art written by Yves Klein and published by Spring Publications. This book was released on 2007-07-01 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first complete collection of the writings of the visonary French conceptual artist Yves Klein (1928-1962) to be published in English translation. Klein was an artist with a keen philosophical mind, yet deeply spiritual. Inspired by his study of the Japanese Kata (the abstract movements in Judo), Rosicrucian cosmogony, alchemy, and the phenomenological and psychological philosophies that emerged during his lifetime (particularly the writings of Gaston Bachelard), he constructed his vision of a future art that would purify the soul and society from the ashes of painting.
Book Synopsis Irma Blank by : Milan Archivio Irma Blank
Download or read book Irma Blank written by Milan Archivio Irma Blank and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2019-09-24 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A series of drawings by Irma Blank, reproduced in more than three hundred full-color images, with texts by art historians. Linguistic and visual representation intersect in Irma Blank's pastel-colored, script-like Eigenschriften (Self-Writings, 1968–73), a series of drawings considered the starting point of the artist's mature work. The cycle stems from Blank's experience moving to Italy in the 1960s from Germany, where she was born in 1934. No longer surrounded by her native language and unable to express herself through words, this form of writing became a type of escape for Blank. The slender lines of these works are reminiscent of writing, but one that is incomprehensible. Without any specific meaning, the work is pure sensation transmitted from the hand to the surface of the page, from the body to the work. Alongside more than three hundred full-color reproductions of the Eigenschriften works, this volume includes a text by Luca Lo Pinto examining the artistic and historical influences on Blank's cycle of drawings, considered “an exercise of subtraction to reach a basic form of writing,” while Douglas Fogle's essay looks at Blank's work through the lens of artists such as Robert Rauschenberg and John Cage, in terms of a shared practice of repetition, as well as the work of the writers Robert Walser and W. G. Sebald. Contributors Douglas Fogle, Luca Lo Pinto
