Description: Barcelona: Museu del Disseny de Barcelona. Institut de Cultura. Ajuntament de Barcelona, 2014. 23cm., pbk., 432pp. with numerous color illus. English text. Summary: This exhibition offers a chronological overview of the various collections of ceramics, textiles, furniture, glassware, miniatures, clocks, wallpaper and other objects from the 3rd to the 20th Century curated by the museum. This approach highlights the value of the collection while at the same time establishing relationships between them. Throughout the exhibition, some thirty individual pieces form part of an open and concise overview of the history of the decorative arts in Catalonia, forming an on-going dialogue with the collections. In addition, some of the collections and pieces on show have not been available to the public for many years. Upon arriving at the first third of the 20th Century, the exhibition delves into so- called ‘author-centred art’ which includes glasswork, ceramics, enamel and jewellery, mostly produced by Catalan artists. This exhibition, which brings together donations and acquisitions from citizens, collectors and artists, pays homage to the art of collecting which has contributed to Barcelona’s great artistic heritage.
