What do the conditions mean?

Our conditions mean the following:

  • New - a brand new book
  • Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
  • Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
  • Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
  • Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

Yinka Shonibare MBE (Member of the British Empire) artista nigeriano nato a Londra nel 1962, dove vive attualmente, ama fondere universi diversi in un medesimo spazio, traducendo nelle sue opere il multiculturalismo da cui egli stesso discende e che informa il mondo contemporaneo. Attraverso una riflessione sull'identità e la memoria, amalgama le sue due culture in un'estetica inedita. Quando agli inizi degli anni '90 introduce il batik nell'universo vittoriano e ne riveste la borghesia, rappresentata da manichini senza testa, trova il gesto artistico che lo rende immediatamente riconoscibile. Bozzetti, sculture, fotografie e video, le opere di Yinka Shonibare costituiscono il filo d'Arianna che ci accompagna nella scoperta di opere di rado mostrate, appartenenti alla storia artistica del Principato. In particolare Monte Carlo fu ed è tuttora sede propizia di un'attività artistica particolarmente feconda per le arti teatrali. Il percorso porta alla luce la raccolta dei bozzetti di Visconti per l'Opera di Monte Carlo, i favolosi decori luminosi d'Eugène Frey, la curiosa collezione di quadri trasparenti del marchese Périer du Mouriez e altri "artificialia" che evocano le camere delle meraviglie del XVII e XVIII secolo, precursori dei musei europei.
