Synopsis
In 2016, filmmaker Wes Anderson and his wife, the costume designer and novelist Juman Malouf, were invited to curate an exhibition of objects from the collections of Vienna's Kunsthistoriches Museum. Established in 1891 by Emperor Franz Joseph I, the collection houses over four-and-a-half million objects, of which these first-time curators selected 430 pieces. Their selections, many of which were found in remote corners of storage, include over 200 works never previously shown. With essays by Anderson and Malouf and extensive documentation of the installation, this catalogue records the surprising decisions made according to the pair's unorthodox criteria, with works grouped by color or size in playful disregard for received curatorial methods. As Anderson writes, the exercise may advance "methods of art history through the scientific process of trial-and-error (in this case, error)," offering a fresh means of exhibiting pieces that range across 5,000 years., The award-winning American filmmaker Wes Anderson and his wife, the famous costume designer Juman Malouf, present their favourite pieces from the collections of the Kunst Historisches Museum in Vienna.They chose their selection from more than four million objects, both on public display and tucked away in the museum's labyrinthine storage rooms, within the space of two years.The curators have ended up showing around 400 works, many of which have never been displayed in public before, in an elaborate installation, ordered according to their own unique system.Their first exhibition as guest curators contains works from the Academy of Fine Arts, the Egyptian-Oriental Collection, the Collection of Old Musical Instruments, the Coin Cabinet, the Kaiserliche Wagenburg, the Weltmuseum, the Theater Museum, the National Library, pieces from Ambras Castle and objects from the Natural History Museum.In this catalogue Anderson and Malouf explain their concept and introduce their whole exhibition in installation and work photographs.Published on the occasion of the exhibition, Spitzmaus Mummy in a Coffin and other Treasures: Wes Anderson and Juman Malouf at Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna (6 November 2018 - 28 April 2019), and at Fondazione Prada, Milan in 2019.Co-published with Kunsthistorisches Museum (KHM), Vienna.English and German text.

    Ordering the true 1st edition of this book proved to be an ordeal. It took me four goes to finally land one! It seems for this specific book the automated form filling software used by many sellers puts forward the multiple reprints between 1999 and 2001 as 1st editions. Thankfully this seller provided detailed photos, so I could order in confidence. The book arrived on the 1st day of the delivery window and was very securely boxed up. A happy customer.
