Hardcover. Zustand: As New. Dust Jacket Included. 1st Edition.

Looks as new. Minor signs of wear on the slipcase and dust jacket. Interior as new.; "Among the 1932 acquisitions Mr. Baur restricted the choice partly to enamelled porcelains from Arita kilns and from Nabeshima, which found ready favour among Western collectors, adding also various later, nineteenth century porcelain wares which included in particular examples of Hirado, Kameyama and Kutani; and besides these he also sent a variety of enamelled pottery belonging to the Kyoto tradition, such as Kiyomizu, Awata and Banko. In 1933, the mixture remained the same - as indeed it was to do during the following years down to 1939 - with pieces by other potters working in similar styles, such as Eiraku. Altogether these wares include many of unusual interest, and of types not widely available in Western collections. But in any assessment of the merits of the collection there can be little doubt that pride of place must be given to the group of early porcelains from Arita and above all, to those made for the princely house of Nabeshima, which both in quality and in numbers are hardly to be matched in any collection outside Japan itself." excerpt from the introduction by John Ayers, 1982.…

Remaining interior in very good condition.; "The Baur Collection of netsuke is remarkable, both for the great variety of subjects and the great number of carvers represented. In addition it contains a striking number of true masterpieces. At the same time the collection is not so well balanced as one might wish it to be, some important artists missing altogether, others being almost over-represented. This has of course also its advantages. For students and collectors who wish for instance to study the work of Kaigyokusai (31 pieces), Soko (24 pieces), or the famous metal artist Shuraku (30 pieces) there will be few other collections that can afford the same opportunities." excerpt from the introductory text by Martin S. Newstead.; "The collection of netsuke comprises 1,708 pieces, listed as follows by Alfred Baur: 533 netsuke in ivory, 590 in wood, 28 in lacquer, 35 miscellaneous, 247 manju and 275 kagamibuta. This catalogue only illustrates 1,200 pieces of the 1,700 odd of the whole collection. We have therefore selected an ensemble of pieces that could be accomodated within the limits of a volume convenient to handle and consult. Of course all the excluded pieces have been photographed and are described in the inventory." excerpt from the introductory text by Marie-Thérèse Coullery.…

It groups various series of lacquers, leaving aside pipe-cases. This catalogue, which only presents about a third of the objects in the inventory will I hope reflect as faithfully as possibly the totality of the collection: the numerical ratio of the different kinds of boxes (tea caddies, incense holders, writing boxes, inro, etc.) and of signed and unsigned pieces." excerpt from the introduction by Pierre F.Schneeberger (keeper of the Baur Collection).…

The interior looks as new.;"Numerically the series of jades forms only a very small part, perhaps no more than two per cent, of the collections so lovingly assembled by Alfred Baur over almost half a century; in sentimental terms on the other hand this group of objects is far from insignificant, for it lay very close to the heart of the Swiss art lover. There is a telling instance connected with the reopening of the Musée Ariana-the Genevan museum which from 1938 has been exclusively devoted to ceramics. In May 1938 he was invited to enhance the lustre of the occasion by lending a part of his collections to the City; in reply he supplemented the splendid choice from his Far Eastern porcelains with almost his whole collection of jades. The Swiss public, otherwise but little acquainted with this type of "bibelot", as they were then still called, was thus given the opportunity of examining and admiring them over a period of some months. The jade collection is here augmented by a few hardstones (rock crystal, agate, cornelian); on the other hand the tobacco flasks, of which about sixty are of jade, have not been included and will be incorporated later in a special catalogue, for the Baur Collection contains more than five hundred examples of this group of small objects which has recently aroused renewed interest in the collecting world. The first jade was bought in England in 1920; the last arrived in Geneva in 1951, the year in which Alfred Baur died. The majority of the pieces were acquired over the thirty intervening years through the Japanese dealer-collector Kumasaku Tomita who procured the greater part of all the Baur Collection. They were bought either in Japan or, most frequently, in China, especially in Peking. A few pieces come from dealers in London or Geneva." excerpt from the introduction.…

Interior in very good condition with minor signs of wear.; "These two volumes include the Japanese prints collected by Alfred Baur over the forty or so years from 1909 to 1949. This art form, is known to have exerted a decisive influence on the development of Western painting, offering first to Impressionist painters and then to the Nabil (to mention only France) an example of a new type of compositions that can serve as an alternative to the grand tradition inherited from the Renaissance. Van Gogh and Monet had assembled collections of prints that are still very carefully preserved and the writer Edmond de Goncourt, himself a well-informed collector, had published two major studies with the help of the Japanese merchant Tadamasa Hayashi, one on Utamaro, the other on Hokusai. Matthi Forrer, the author of the present catalogue, deals exhaustively with the "floating world" and with the various aspects of the production of these pictures carved on wood, a good knowledge of which is so important for an appreciation of the Japanese print." excerpt from the introduction by Frank Dunand (keeper of the Baur Collection), 1994.…
