Download or read book Stem Cell Banking written by Dusko Ilic and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-05-05 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book exemplifies experience across the globe in banking of cord blood, mesenchymal, embryonic and induced pluripotent stem cells for clinical use from the United States, Canada, the European Union, Switzerland and Japan to Iran, India and Serbia. The concerns are similar regardless of stem cell type or origin. Implementing core values and common standards depend often on specific circumstances of political and economic setting, which makes flexibility as important as systematic planning. Banking of stem cells is not just building a repository and storing samples. The planning, design, construction and maintenance involve multiple skilled professionals. Stem cell banks are points where technology and medicine converge with ethics, laws and regulations. If properly designed and organized, their utilization will have a broad impact not only on the scientific community and medical professionals but also on the general public.

Download or read book Duveen written by Meryle Secrest and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2005-11 with total page 545 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anyone who has admired Gainsborough's Blue Boy of the Huntington Collection in California, or Rembrandt's Aristotle Contemplating the Bust of Homer at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York owes much of his or her pleasure to art dealer Joseph Duveen (1869–1939). Regarded as the most influential—or, in some circles, notorious—dealer of the twentieth century, Duveen established himself selling the European masterpieces of Titian, Botticelli, Giotto, and Vermeer to newly and lavishly wealthy American businessmen—J. P. Morgan, John D. Rockefeller, and Andrew Mellon, to name just a few. It is no exaggeration to say that Duveen was the driving force behind every important private art collection in the United States. The first major biography of Duveen in more than fifty years and the first to make use of his enormous archive—only recently opened to the public—Meryle Secrest's Duveen traces the rapid ascent of the tirelessly enterprising dealer, from his humble beginnings running his father's business to knighthood and eventually apeerage. The eldest of eight sons of Jewish-Dutch immigrants, Duveen inherited an uncanny ability to spot a hidden treasure from his father, proprietor of a prosperous antiques business. After his father's death, Duveen moved the company into the riskier but lucrative market of paintings and quickly became one of the world's leading art dealers. The key to Duveen's success was his simple observation that while Europe had the art, America had the money; Duveen made his fortune by buying art from declining European aristocrats and selling them to the "squillionaires" in the United States. "By far the best account of Joseph Duveen's life in a biography that is rich in detail, scrupulously researched, and sympathetically written. [Secrest's] inquiries into early-twentieth-century collecting whet our appetite for a more general history of the art market in the first half of the twentieth century."—John Brewer, New York Review of Books

Download or read book Medieval Art in America written by Elizabeth Bradford Smith and published by Palmer Museum of Art. This book was released on 1996 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This catalogue was published in 1996 to accompany an innovative exhibition, Medieval Art in America: Patterns of Collecting, 1800-1940, organized by the Frick Art Museum and the Palmer Museum of Art. With works of art borrowed from numerous prominent institutions--including the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Art Institute of Chicago--the exhibition focused not on the objects themselves but rather on the motivations and methods that led collectors to bring medieval art to America. The catalogue for the 1996 exhibition, now newly available to the public, enables readers to revisit the pioneering display of objects, ranging from ivory statues to stained glass. With an illustrated catalogue of the 75 objects in the show and essays on well-known collectors and collections of medieval art, this volume is an indispensable reference for the study of both American collecting and medieval art.

Download or read book The Early Years of Art History in the United States written by Craig Hugh Smyth and published by Princeton Univ Department of Art &. This book was released on 1993 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Art history became established as an academic discipline in the United States between 1865 and 1895, when courses were introduced not only at Yale, Princeton, and Harvard, but also at Vassar, Syracuse, Wellesley, Rockford Female Seminary, Radcliffe, and Bryn Mawr. The prominent early role of the women's colleges and smaller universities is just one of the areas investigated in this volume on the genesis and early development of art history in the United States. Other essays focus on single departments of art history, examining the early subjects and methods of American art history and the way in which its practitioners responded to and assimilated contemporary developments in other fields, particularly history, the sciences, and philosophy. A final section examines some of the great scholarly personalities that dominated the field in the early years of this century. The volume includes a complete reprint of E. Baldwin Smith's 1912 survey "The Study of the History of Art in the Colleges and Universities of the United States" (Princeton). The contributors include Pamela Askew, Lauren Weiss Bricker, John Coolidge, Julius Held, Sybil Kantor, George Kubler, Marilyn Aronberg Lavin, Phyllis Williams Lehmann, Hayden Maginnis, Agnes Mongan, Henry Millon, Donald Preziosi, Michael Rinehart, Linda Seidel, Claire Richter Sherman, Craig Hugh Smyth, Mary Ann Stankiewicz, David Van Zanten, and Edward Warburg.
