Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why did collectors seek out posters and collect ephemera during the late-nineteenth and the twentieth centuries? How have such materials been integrated into institutional collections today? What inspired collectors to build significant holdings of works from cultures other than their own? And what are the issues facing curators and collectors of digital ephemera today? These are among the questions tackled in this volume-the first to examine the practices of collecting prints, posters, and ephemera during the modern and contemporary periods. A wide range of case studies feature collections of printed materials from the United States, Latin America, France, Germany, Great Britain, China, Japan, Russia, Iran, and Cuba. Fourteen essays and one roundtable discussion, all specially commissioned from art historians, curators, and collectors for this volume, explore key issues such as the roles of class, politics, and gender, and address historical contexts, social roles, value, and national and transnational aspects of collecting practices. The global scope highlights cross-cultural connections and contributes to a new understanding of the place of prints, posters and ephemera within an increasingly international art world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The international exhibitions held around the world between 1851 and 1939 were spectacular gestures, which briefly held the attention of the world before disappearing into an abrupt oblivion, of the victims of their planned temporality. Known in Britain as Great Exhibitions, in France as Expositions Universelles and in America as World's Fairs, the genre became a self-perpetuating phenomenon, the extraordinary cultural spawn of industry and empire. Thoroughly in the spirit of the first industrial age, the exhibitions illustrated the relation between money and power, and revelled in the belief that the uncontrolled expression of that power was the quintessence of freedom. Philanthropy found its place on exhibition sites functioning as a conscience to the age although even here morality was inextricably linked to economic efficiency and expansion. Imperial achievement was celebrated to the full at international exhibitions. Nevertheless, most World's Fairs maintained an imperial element and out of this blossomed a vibrant racism. Between 1889 and 1914, the exhibitions became a human showcase, when people from all over the world were brought to sites in order to be seen by others for their gratification and education. In essence, the English national profile fabricated in the closing decades of the nineteenth century was derived from the pre-industrial world. The Fine Arts were an important ingredient in any international exhibition of calibre. This book incorporates comparative work on European and American empire-building, with the chronological focus primarily on the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, when these cultural exchanges were most powerfully at work.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The extensive collection of MAK Library's graphic design and works on paper was put within covers and titled Ephemera. The word comes from the Greek word ephemeros, meaning "lasting only one day, short-lived" - loosely translated, a term most often used in biological context to identify particularly "short-lived" animals or plants. The publication that goes by the same name by the Museum für Angewandte Kunst presents an impressive collection of consumer graphics from the 18th century all the way to the present including graphic works such as letters and colored papers, envelopes, invitations, concert and movie tickets and labels, ex-libris, congratulations cards, bookmarks and menu cards, complaints stamps, playing cards, dance and table cards, business cards and advertising material. What exactly makes them interesting is their unique "short-livedness", these items are often very beautifully and skilfully designed and of high technical quality. They represent artistic movements of different times, as well as social rites, personal and commercial forms of representation, and advertising strategies, together offering a rare cross-view over these easily discarded yet momentarily highly valued items. Ephemera looks into the meaning and value of items that has lost their original meaning; "such as admission tickets, whose validity became obsolete over a century ago, business cards whose owners passed away decades ago, greeting cards whose occasions long since became history", Christoph Thun-Hohenstein explains in his introduction. But the publication is so much more than an exhibition of ancient paraphilia but a treasure chest of cultural history. The book itself is beautiful with a sturdy wood relief printed on the Crush Corn 120gsm cover that protects the 464 GardaPat Kiara 135gsm pages within with a red edge printing Class Koloman Moser's model paper from around 1905, making Ephemera a crown jewel of your bookcase"--https://www.designandpaper.com/ephemera-graphic-design-mak-library-works-paper-collection/

It is appropriate that the catalogue should itself be a product of The Spiral Press, and the reader will doubtless share our pleasure that Mr. Blumenthal was persuaded ... to write the personal account which adds immeasurably to the lasting value of this publication"--Page 7.

Book excerpt: "Ephemera: "printed or handwritten items, produced for short-term use and, generally, for disposal," are tickets, labels, calling cards, trade cards, menus, posters, billheads, packages, throwaways of all kinds. Colorful, various, rich in nostalgia, they are irresistible to collectors, in part because as "collectibles" they are a novelty and can be had practically free for the picking up. This book, the first general guide to ephemera for the American collector, shows a variety of types, tells where to find ephemera, how to collect, what's good and what's bad ephemera, what ephemera may be worth. A delightful and unique introduction to a fascinating field."--Page 4 of cover.
