"External views"
Bookbindings from 1000 years in the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek
The Bayerische Staatsbibliothek presents the exhibition "AußenAnsichten.
Buch-einbände aus tausend Jahren" in its Treasure Room from 28 August
until 15 De-cember 2006. Objects dating from the Carolingian Era up to
the 20th century will be displayed. The show comprises c. 100 exhibits
and illustrates a repre-sentative sample of the Library's collection of
historical bookbindings.
Richly decorated luxury bindings from the High Middle Ages like the gold
book chest of the Uta-Codex will be shown alongside early modern
bindings created for the use of the nobility, books bound in monasteries
and city workshops for everyday use and bindings designed by modern
artists. In accordance with the Library's col-lection, most books were
bound in South German workshops. However, the exhibi-tion also includes
bindings commissioned for Bavarian owners abroad as well as outstanding
examples of international styles which influenced local artists. Thus,
the regional focus of the Library's holdings will be placed into an
international perspec-tive.
Choice selections from the Library's binding collection have been
presented to a general public on several occasions before. In 2001, the
exhibition *Prachteinbände 870-1685" attracted large numbers of
visitors. Several of the precious objects shown then will be on display
again. In addition, the exhibition will provide the op-portunity to see
bindings acquired by the Library in recent years, among them a medieval
girdle book, a baroque binding from the monastery of Ettal, a Parisian
Fanfare-binding and several books designed by artists.
The exhibition documents the Library's exceptional collection of
historical bindings as well as its numerous activities directed at new
acquisitions, preservation and con-servation as well as cataloguing and
presentation.
