Download or read book The Stettheimer Dollhouse written by Sheila W. Clark and published by Pomegranate Communications. This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Infusing her sensibility into every detail—from the Limoges vases in the chintz bedroom to the crystal-trimmed candelabra in the salon—Carrie Walter Stettheimer (American, 1869–1944) wove together the fashion and style of New York's high society in the early twentieth century to create one of the finest dollhouses in the world. Stettheimer worked on the twelve-room dollhouse for nearly two decades, creating many of the furnishings and decorations by hand. Styles of decoration vary from room to room, yet the wallpapers, furniture, and fixtures are all characteristic of the period following World War I. The result is a magnificent work of art, now in the permanent collection of the Museum of the City of New York.What may be the most astounding aspect of the Stettheimer Dollhouse is its one-of-a-kind art gallery, featuring miniature works from renowned avant-garde artists of the 1920s. Along with her mother and two sisters—Florine, a painter whose works are in many major museum collections, and Ettie, a writer—Stettheimer hosted grand soirées attended by contemporary artists, including Alexander Archipenko, Marcel Duchamp, and Gaston Lachaise, who presented her with miniature works for her dollhouse.The Stettheimer Dollhouse showcases all the works created especially for the dollhouse, including Duchamp's three-inch version of Nude Descending a Staircase. Each artist in the collection is profiled, while descriptions and color photographs of each room in the dollhouse offer an intimate tour of this delightful masterpiece.

Download or read book The Pistner House written by Patricia Pistner and published by Amber Pub. This book was released on 2001-01-01 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Pistner House's spellbinding beauty and precision brings to life the culture and history of an elegant era. After years of study, Patricia Pistner commissioned this architectural model to express her love of 18th-century French design. Ten years in the making, the house, rooms and furnishings represent some of the finest examples of the Louis VIV through Louis XVI periods. Utilizing the standardized scale of one-inch to one-foot, more than 60 of the world's finest artists were required to render in exacting detail some of the most important pieces of 18th-century French furniture and accessories. The Pistner House has drawn international acclaim since it went on display in November 2000 as part of the Masters of Miniature exhibit at the Naples Museum of Art. The NY Times reviewer reported that " . . . the revelation of the museum was the miniature rooms. They are the best I have ever seen, and I know my miniature rooms." This book offers the reader the rare opportunity to explore and understand the extraordinary beauty of The Pistner House and other features of the Masters of Miniature exhibit, as captured in exquisite detail in the more than 100 color illustrations.
