Hoffacker, Karl (Editor) — Kunstgewerbeblatt : Neue Folge (10 Issues, 1900 - 1901)

Leipzig, E.A. Seemann, 1900. October 1900 to September 1901; missing June/July 1901. Paperback. 10 issues, each bound separately. All issues have both covers, although some are detached. Paginated consecutively over the course of the year, but each issue contains about 30 pp. with bw and sometimes color illustrations. All text in German. A nearly-complete run covering the year from October 1900 to September 1901 of this popular artwork magazine. These issues all cover works of the Art Nouveau style, popular at that time. The June and July 1901 issues are missing. Included are contemporary advertisements, articles about the Darmstadt artists' colony, all sorts of decorative arts (ceramics, furniture, lighting, book decoration, metalwork, enamel, statues, glassware, etc.); what's happening in the salons of Paris, and more. The advertisements in the back of each issue are wonderful in themselves, with advertisers from all over Germany but also London and elsewhere. An excellent partial set for the researcher, lover of Art Nouveau, or for reference. Could be bound appropriately. All clean copies but for some toning. Some covers detached but present; some wear to spines in those cases. A bit of edge wear to some covers, but the Art Nouveau images are not affected.
