        Hong Kong Inside Outside [Englisch] [Gebundene Ausgabe] Michael Wolf (Autor), Natasha Egan (Nachwort), Dr. Ernest Chui (Nachwort), Lee Ho Yin (Nachwort), Lynne DiStefano (Nachwort)
      peperoni books, 1994. ?ber 14 Jahre lebt der deutsche Fotograf Michael Wolf nun in Hong Kong. Er konzentriert sich auf spezifische visuelle Elemente und h?lt das Leben in den engen Ballungsr?umen in einer der am dichtest bev?lkerten St?dten der Welt fest, wie es bisher niemand getan hat. HONG KONG INSIDE OUTSIDE kombiniert zwei Hauptserien seiner Arbeit: Architecture of Density und 100 x 100. F?r Architecture of Density hat Wolf einen markanten Stil kreiert. Er nimmt jeglichen Himmel oder Horizont aus dem Rahmen und flacht den Raum soweit ab bis er zu einer unnachgiebigen Abstraktion der urbanen Ausweitung wird, ohne Entkommen f?r das Auge des Betrachters. Um die sozialen Auswirkungen dieses Lebens in solch engen Bedingungen zu erforschen, stellt Wolf der Anonymit?t der Au?enseite der Wohnkomplexe in Architecture of Density nun seine Serie 100 x 100 gegen?ber. Diese zeigt in Innenaufnahmen Portraits von 100 Individuen und Familien, die, umgeben von all ihren Habseligkeiten, in ca. 10 Quadratmeter gro?en Sozialwohnungen leben. Das Interesse des deutschen Fotografen Michael Wolf konzentriert sich auf das Leben in Mega-Cities und die Dokumentation von Architektur, Lebensformen und origin?ren Kulturen der Metropolen. Wolf ist in Kanada, Europa und in den USA aufgewachsen. Er studierte in Berkeley und an der Folkwang Schule bei Otto Steinert in Essen. 1994 ging er nach Hongkong und arbeitete dort 8 Jahre als Vertragsfotograf f?r das Magazin ?Stern?. Danach zog er sich von der Pressefotografie zur?ck um seine eigenen Projekte zu verfolgen. Seine Arbeiten werden weltweit in Galerien und Museen gezeigt und wurden in zahlreichen internationalen Magazinen und Fotob?chern ver?ffentlicht.

Mandela, Nelson
        Long Walk To Freedom: The Autobiography of Nelson Mandela.
      South Africa: MacDonald Purnell, 1994. First South African edition, later printing. Octavo, original black cloth. Boldly signed and Dated in 1995 by Nelson Mandela. This example is a limited autographed edition in celebration of the 1995 Rugby World Cup. The 1995 Rugby Cup was immortalized in the 2009 film Invictus starring, Morgan Freeman and Matt Damon. While attending a game between the Springboks, the country's rugby union team, and England, Mandela recognizes that the blacks in the stadium are cheering for England, as the mostly-white Springboks represent prejudice and apartheid in their minds; he remarks that he did the same while imprisoned on Robben Island. Knowing that South Africa is set to host the 1995 Rugby World Cup in one year's time, Mandela persuades a meeting of the newly black-dominated South African Sports Committee to support the Springboks. He then meets with the captain of the Springboks rugby team, Fran?ois Pienaar, and implies that a Springboks victory in the World Cup will unite and inspire the nation. Mandela also shares with Fran?ois a British poem, "Invictus", that had inspired him during his time in prison. The Springboks win the match and Mandela and Pienaar meet on the field together to celebrate the improbable and unexpected victory. "The Nelson Mandela who emerges from his memoir is considerably more human than the icon of legend Mandela is, on the evidence of his amazing life, neither a messiah nor a moralist nor really a revolutionary but a pragmatist to the core, a shrewd balancer of honor and interests. He is, to use a word unhappily fallen into disrepute, a politician, though one distinguished from lesser practitioners of his calling mainly by his unwavering faith in his ultimate objective, ending white minority rule" (New York Times).

        Chinese Ceramics from the Meiyintang Collection, Volume 1 and 2
      Azymuth Editions, 1994 Book. New. Hardcover. English text; Title and captions in English and Chinese; Hardcover; limited edition of 1000 copies, 2 volumes, 688 pages, 957 color illustrations, cloth, slipcase; 27.4 x 37.2 x 8 cm; 6.451 Kg; Shelf wear in slipcase, no markings on the interior except our logo glued on front free endpaper on Volume One.; ?The first volume of this catalogue contains mainly earthenwares and stonewares from the Neolithic period to the Song dynasty (AD 960-1279), the second porcelains from the Yuan (AD1279-1368) to the Qing dynasty. Although the two volumes belong together, they are conceived as individual books, each with its own working bibliography. Volume One contains small maps of China, highlighting the most important, if not the only, regions of ceramic manufacture in different periods; these were not necessary in Volume Two, where most pieces come from kiln centre, Jingdezhen in Jiangxi province. In Volume One attributions to the places of manufacture are given as precisely as possible, distinctions being made between a definitely identified kiln, a province, and a more general area of manufacture. The reference illustrations in Volume One show objects in other materials, also from the Meiyintang collection. In Volume Two all reign marks not illustrated in colour are included in an appendix; only those distinct enough for clear reproduction are repeated under the catalogue entry itself.? excerpt from the introduction by Regina Krahl..
