Krátky popis
Viktor Wynd's gallery and shop in East London is arranged with the
sensibility of a 17th-century Wunderkabinett. It displays and sells
an eccentric and seemingly random collection of objects -
everything from shrunken heads to narwhal tusks, united only by the
sense of wonder they inspire in their curator. Now, Wynd takes
readers on a tour of homes, private collections and museums that
share his fondness for things arcane, desiccated, antique, or just
plain odd. The book visits rarefied locations lovingly curated to
by dilettantes, bohemians and artists: from David McKinley's
rambling Devon farmhouse and its historic taxidermy to an
Italianate villa in East London built near tower blocks, to the
House of Dreams Museum and artist Marcelle Hanselaar's studio. It
also includes advice on how to start a collection of your own,
covering details on auction houses, private dealers, flea markets
and fairs, and shows that having distinctive taste does not
necessarily require a massive budget. Designed in a style that
reflects its author's delightfully idiosyncratic perspective and
with illustrations by the Theatre of Dolls, and photography by
Oskar Proctor, this book is dedicated to collecting the wonders of
the world.
