AMERICAN ART ASSOCIATION. ALPHONSE KANN COLLECTION, in 2 hard cover volumes, New York c1927. Consisting of Egyptian, Greek, Roman, Persian, Moyen Age and Renaissance Works of Art. Exellent condition with the original first purchase card still intact. The each measure 11 x 9 inches. Alphonse Kann (14 March 1870 - 1948) was a prominent French art collector of Jewish heritage. He was a childhood playmate and adult friend of the writer Marcel Proust, who incorporated several of Kann's features into the character Charles Swann (in Swann in Love). The name Kann, written with double "nn", was said in Paris to be "le plus chic du chic". Known for his discerning taste and shrewd collecting instincts, Kann shocked the art world in 1927 by auctioning off most of his Old Master collection (including works by Bruegel, Cimabue, Fragonard, Pollaiuolo, Rubens and Tintoretto) in order to concentrate on the acquisition of 19th century and modern art, which he collected vigorously over the following decade. Kann left France for England in 1938 without making an inventory of his eclectic art collection, which was kept in a St.-Germain-en-Laye mansion and subsequently looted in October 1940 by Nazi occupiers. Kann recovered only a small fraction of his large collection before his death in England in 1948. Although he did not live to see a copy, the Nazi inventory of Kann's art collection ran to 60 typed pages. Decades after the war, several paintings from Kann's collection were discovered in prominent European and U.S. museums. "Smoke Over Rooftops," a 1911 painting by Fernand Léger, was returned in October 2008 to Kann's heirs by the Minneapolis Institute of Arts after an eleven-year investigation. In the 1990s, eight antique manuscripts once owned by Kann turned up the vaults of Wildenstein & Company, still bearing the distinctive Nazi catalog numbers ("KA 879" to "KA 886", in red pencil) likely made by Bruno Lohse as he processed the Kann collection in the Jeu de Paume. The discovery of the missing manuscripts prompted a lawsuit by Kann's heirs against Wildenstein & Company.y. Shipping extra.

This Book retails new from $75.- $100. at any fine book store. ISBN-10: 0974887900 Galeria Contici acquired limited copies and is now offering this edition. NEW Fernando and Edgar Elorrieta Salazar introduce the world to a new and profound view of Andean myths that they have been able to decode and convert into history and reality through a study of semiotics, aesthetics and archaeoastronomy. Cultural myths function as a way of conceptualizing and organizing something held in common by a group of people. Its connotation is ideological and serves to cause one to believe that this \"something\", whether it be shared values, attitudes or beliefs, is natural, normal, of common sense and may even be true. The Andean myths contain sacred history and material testimony that reflect current events. - Publisher 2004 Edition - 160 pages with over 200 color photos Enlightened and Cultural Reading If you are searching for a book that ties together Andean mythology, Incan Historical Data and a new approach to those applications and relevancies into today, this book will impress you. “The Sacred Valley of the Incas, is the newest addition to Andean myth and sacred symbolism with a unique cultural twist unexpected from a book of this genre. The Salazar brothers offer profound views of Andean myths that with the help of native shamans and historians, have been able to decode through the application of semiotics, aesthetics and archaeoastronomy”. - Healthy Warrior Discount on First Acquisition www.galeriacontici.net info@galeriacontici.net   « Less

My mother lived in Chicago (Born 1925) ILL just blocks from the address on the certificate that was in the envelope, inside this book. At 89, she can't remember the name, but does seem to think she had the book "forever", when she gave it to me about 30 years ago when she moved south to get out of the winters. Now it's my turn to downsize. This book is in excellent shape and a fun read to see how things were thought about almost 75 years ago; pre-world war II. The certificate that is shown in the photos will go with the book and adds to it's value. Shipping charges include cost of box, packing materials plus UPS charges.   « Less
