Rarely has a subject been served by a book of this stature. Five years in the making, it covers all aspects of Art Nouveau in France in 624 authoritative pages and 740 illustrations. Arwas traces the evolution of the movement as it developed, primarily in Nancy and Paris, with the help of carefully chosen illustrations, many never published before. Ranging from the 1900 Paris exhibition to paintings, graphics and posters and such collecting fields as furniture, jewellery, ceramics, book bindings and sculpture, the informative, witty text ranges over architecture, haute couture, and the role of women in Art Nouveau with a particular look at such theatrical icons as Sarah Bernhardt, Loïe Fuller and the Grandes Horizontales. Destined to become the standard book on the subject, both content and design will appeal widely to the connoisseur, the specialist and the collector, as well as to the novice who will be introduced to the magical wonders of the style.

First published in 1998. Design reform in the fields of architecture and the decorative or applied arts became objectified through writings published during the period of 1885 to 1910. This investigation includes, but is not limited to, Art Nouveau in France and Belgium, and the arts and crafts movement in England and the United States. Even though the similar processes of creativity and shared goals of Art Nouveau and the arts and crafts movement have long been recognized, attempts to explore their origins and their points of interrelation with the broader scope of art history have been largely unsuccessful—until now.

Over a period of more than thirty years Gerda Koepff devoted herself passionately to collecting Art Nouveau glass, which reached a previously unattained quality towards the end of the nineteenth century in France. The exceptional collection she amassed during those years, comprising 126 pieces of considerable international importance, provides an overview of the very best in Art Nouveau glass while hearing the unmistakable stamp of a personal selection. Among the earliest pieces are works by Francois Eugene Rousseau, Ernest Bapuste Leveille and Auguste Jean, who, with vessels exuding a distinctly Japanese air, paved the way for Art Nouveau's sweeping success in Paris. These were followed by exquisite works created by another artist working in Paris Eugene Michel. The focus of the collection is placed on two comprehensive groups, each consisting of more than forty pieces, by Emile Galle and by the Daum Freres glassworks in Nancy. Virtually all are studio pieces of the highest quality; produced in limited editions, each piece was designed individually. Vases made by Burgun, Schverer & Co. and by the company's sometime studio manager Desire Christian, as well as works by Muller Freres and Paul Nicolas, provide a representative overview of an era that has gone down in the history of glass design as one of its supreme highlights. Art Nouveau Glass includes in-depth commentaries on individual pieces, supplemented by a number of illuminating essays and contributions published in English for the first time. In addition, intensive archive research has brought new material to light, particularly on Daum Freres. A comprehensive, scholarly appendix includes artists' biographies, details on the various glass manufacturers and, of particular note, thirty-five drawings from Galle's studio. Book jacket.
