DESCRIPTION:
Rosenthal's unique position in the design world is detailed through over 450 wonderful photographs, many acquired from Rosenthal's own archives. Rosenthal, Excellence for All Times provides readers and collectors with a detailed look at the history and works of this internationally recognized company, accompanied by a synopsis of the evolution of Modernism as it took root in Europe and America. Detailed biographical material of the artists who design for Rosenthal and the distinguished jurors who oversee all artistic elements adds to the understanding of both Rosenthal and of Modernism and acquaints readers with the styles unique to these individual artists. This important book introduces collectors to a richness of work not recorded elsewhere, a siren call to Modernists who would search for the best of our times.. The company's constant devotion to excellence of product and perfection of design is reflected
Disappointing & expensive book A Customer This book just scratched the surface and I was extremely disappointed in the contents. Very little information about the many china shapes and patterns. Nothing about the beautiful bird figurines that Rosenthal is noted for. Lots of pretty pictures but not enough useful content.. Too much for too little! München, 19.07.2001 Yesterday I had the fortune to see one copy in a Rosenthal shop in Munich, so I could avoid the mistake to buy one. Searching a dancer figurine of the 1930' you found only a - bad - picture, no description, no words about the artist who made it, nothing. The book is too expensive for being just a collection of - many - bad pictures without historical comments.. Laura Haggarty said Excellent, definitive reference work for Rosenthal!. Kerr's book on Rosenthal is an absolute must-have for those whocollect and/or buy and sell Rosenthal. It is jammed full of deliciouspictures showing numerous items in all the categories Rosenthal makes. She includes a pricing guide which is reasonably accurate, even with the advent of online auctions. Don't pass this marvelous book by, it's well worth the price!
