Buckland Books
We have just had news of an
important new book on mosaics. This is the first complete corpus of
mosaics from the ancient city of Antioch and the book has been published to
coincide with the opening of a major exhibition in Worcester, Massachusetts,
USA. We are hoping to have a review copy in time for the British
Association for Modern Mosaic AGM on Saturday 14the October 2000, but in the
meantime, here are some of the physical details:
| 0163 ANTIOCH MOSAICS - A Corpus, Edited by Fatih Cimok, A Turizm Yayinlari, Istanbul, Turkey, October 2000, English text, 320pp, 250 colour illustrations, cloth | £100.00 |
Judging by the standard of previous publications from this publisher, this should be a beautiful book! More in due course!
We also have a new mosaic video:
| V008 CREATING MOSAICS, with Helen Levien, Teaching Art Videos, 2000, 60 mins running time, PAL version (order V009 for NTSC) | £15.31 + VAT @ 17.5% |
This is an excellent guide to making mosaics illustrated by using a few simple and more advanced projects. Both direct and indirect methods are explained and illustrated and there are hints and tips on cutting, designing and using colour. There was a rather obnoxious hiss on the background of my copy, but this should not detract too much!
And another new book:
| 2036 THROUGH THE LABYRINTH, Hermann Kern, Prestel, Germany, June 2000, English text, 360pp, 732 b & w + 17 colour illustrations, cloth | £50.00 |
Revised and updated English edition of the classic work on Labyrinths first published in German in 1982. A superb and exhaustive study of labyrinths around the world including many mosaic examples as well as other materials. This is an incredible work of research, organised with as much precision as the original labyrinths!
We now have a price for 0372 La Ceramique Architecturale, introduced in our last newsletter. This excellent book is now available at just £26.00. Superb value.
