Den Haag, Kunstmuseum, Exhibition:Chinese Glass,Imperial Treasure.Chinese glass is rare all over the word, as China does not have a culture of glass like in Europe, where glass has been used to make drinking vessels since the Roman period. Modern methods of glass production were introduced to China by French Jesuits in the late seventeenth century, as part of an exchange of techniques and materials. But unlike in Europe at that time, the Chinese did not attempt to produce colourless, transparent glass. They used it mainly to imitate other more valuable materials, like agate, quartz, garnet, jade, marble and porcelain.20 February 2021 till 24 May 2021.

Max Put. Art Nouveau in Amsterdam 1895-1910. Amsterdam is beroemd om zijn architectuur, maar Art Nouveau is er nauwelijks te vinden. Hiervoor moet je naar Den Haag of naar steden als Brussel en Parijs. Amsterdam was er te nuchter voor, zo luidt de gangbare mening. Auteur Max Put schetst in dit prachtig geïllustreerde boek echter een heel ander beeld: Amsterdam is buitengewoon rijk aan gebouwen met kenmerken van de Art Nouveau. Een apart hoofdstuk, geschreven door Pim van Schaik, van 38 bladzijden met veel foto's is gewijd aan tegels. 256 Pagina's. Uitgever: Stokerkade cultuurhistorische uitgeverij, Amsterdam 2020.

THE ADVENTURES OF 18th-CENTURY DUTCH TILES from the Hermitage Collection in the Kingdom of the Netherlands of the 21st Century, by Yuri Molodkovets (pictures), Ekaterina Andreeva and Roxana Rebrova (text). 120 pages.
A report of 3 Russians who visited Holland in 2019 to find parallels between the images on the tiles of the early 18th century and the modern life of the inhabitants of the Lower Countries. These tiles had been brought to Russia during the reign of Tsar Peter I, the Great. Some are still in situ and others have been removed and ended as debris. Some of these removed tiles haven been recovered in th 1970's and are now in the collection of the Hermitage Museum. In this book various tiles can bee seen with pictures of nowadays Holland. The idea was supported by the General Director of the State Hermitage Mikhail Borisovich Piotrovsky and the Consulate General of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in St Petersburg.
When the book is available for the general public is not clear yet.
