Vikings life and legend Edited by Gareth Williams, Peter Pentz and Matthias Wemhoff

A rich and vivid account of the impact of the Vikings throughout the world In the ninth and tenth centuries, the Vikings created a cultural network that spanned four continents. Raiders, traders, conquerors and sailors, the Vikings were both violent and peaceful, fighting or bargaining their way through as far as Constantinople in the East, North America in the North, the British Isles in the West and into the Mediterranean. Showcasing an extraordinary range of objects and featuring new discoveries by archaeologists and metal-detectorists, the cultural connections between Europe, Byzantium and the Middle East are explored here in absorbing detail. • Fresh and insightful reinterpretation of the Vikings, presenting an ever-popular subject in a new way • Features major finds including the Roskilde 6 ship – the longest Viking warship discovered to date – and the Vale of York hoard

Gareth Williams

A concise, accessible and informative introduction to Viking ships The Viking ship is one of the most iconic images of the Vikings and the longship in particular has been central to our understanding of the Viking Age. The Vikings used their shipbuilding skills to command the sea and their famous ships permitted the exploration, colonization and raids for which they are best known.

In addition to well-known ships such as the spectacular burials from Gokstad and Oseberg in southern Norway, The Viking Ship features the newly-conserved Roskilde 6 from Denmark. Measuring at over 37 metres, the Roskilde 6 is the longest Viking ship to have been discovered to date and forms the core of the exhibition Vikings: life and legend. • Beautifully illustrated with stunning images of Viking ships themselves and an unexpected range of objects to illustrate the ongoing legacy of the Vikings • Draws on the latest research to provide a general introduction to the subject • Giftbook published to accompany a major exhibition at the British Museum, London from 6 March to 22 June 2014, also showing at the National Museum of Denmark, Copenhagen from June to November 2013 and the Museum of Prehistory and Early History, Berlin in Autumn 2014

What secrets lie beneath the wrappings of an ancient Egyptian mummy? In recent years, British Museum curators have collaborated with scientists and medical experts to find new ways of studying ancient Egyptian mummies. Ever-developing, noninvasive scanning techniques have produced astonishing results, allowing us to understand more clearly how people lived and died in the ancient Nile valley thousands of years ago.

Forthcoming titles

The science of mummies

This book focuses on eight significant mummies, each carefully selected to tell a different story. They include a young female temple singer, an unknown man of high status, and a child from the Roman era. • Draws on cutting-edge archaeological research, bioarchaeology, state-of-the-art scanning and forensic techniques • Features mummies and contextual funerary objects drawn from the British Museum’s world-famous collection and spanning 4000 years of ancient Egyptian history • Published to accompany a major interactive exhibition at the British Museum from 22 May to 30 November 2014

selection of key works from six artists who re-defined art in

Germany in the second half of the twentieth century; Georg

Baselitz, Marcus Lüpertz, Blinky Palermo, A.R. Penck, Sigmar Polke and Gerhard Richter. The majority of the works are displayed and published for the first time.

In-depth biographical essays on each artist show how the

division of Germany into separate states affected their work; and the importance of the experience of migration from East to West. The new consumer culture in the West contrasted starkly with the planned economy of the East. Artists on both side of the wall were faced with the difficult emotional task of negotiating with the past; not only the recent history of the Third Reich, but the ‘lost’ traditions of German painting, particularly Expressionism, from which they had been cut adrift.

Germany divided explores the work of these artists in

the broader historical context of Germany and Europe in the

1960s and 1970s, and shows how these debates placed crucial emphasis on the creation and display of art. Graphic traditions, reaching back through Expressionism to older traditions of printmaking in Germany, were an essential part of the reconstruction of artistic life, and a basis for the phenomenal international

success of German art on an international stage in the decades

Martin Findell

The perfect introduction to one of the world’s age-old writing systems From late antiquity through to the early middle ages, people from across north-western Europe were inscribing runes on a range of different objects, using many techniques – from informal scratchings to sophisticated inlaid designs and exquisite relief carvings. Once identified and interpreted by experts, runes provide invaluable evidence for the early ‘Germanic’ languages – including English, Dutch, German and the Scandinavian languages – and reveal a wealth of information about our early civilisations.

Forthcoming titles

Runes

This book tells the story of runes from their mysterious origins and their development as a script, to their use and meaning in the modern world. Illustrated with a range of objects that show the runic inscriptions in context, Runes will reveal charms and curses, business messages, insults and prayers, providing a glimpse into the languages and cultures of Europeans over a thousand years ago. • Illustrated with a range of objects from jewellery to tools and weapons • As well as looking at the origins and historical development of the script, the book also links runes and their uses to the modern world, highlighting how they have entered popular culture and popular consciousness through their use in fantasy literature, political extremism and in the arena of New-Age or pagan beliefs • The first title in a new series on ancient scripts and languages

Re-issue R.I. Page

Reveals how the Vikings saw themselves: portrayed in their own writings or in the reports of people who knew them closely There have been many books about the Vikings, but few that see them from their own point of view. Most accounts rely heavily on the records of prejudiced observers (who saw the Vikings only as savage raiders) or the archaeological record, which tells us much about their material culture but little about their values. Using a series of translations from primary sources including runic inscriptions, literary works, rare historical accounts and eye-witness reports, this book brings the Viking world to life.

The Vikings in Britain and Ireland Jayne Carroll, Stephen Harrison and Gareth Williams

• Looks at the problems the Vikings encountered in discovering, populating and cultivating new lands and the difficulties of keeping law and order • Reveals the popular culture of the Vikings and their sometimes irreverent approach to their gods and goddesses, the supernatural, magic and charms

“ A fascinating insight into the highest ranks of society in early medieval England… exceptionally important”. Minerva

A new, extended edition of the fascinating account of the discovery and history of this remarkable hoard On 5 July 2009, a metal-detectorist started to unearth gold objects in a Staffordshire field, only to discover the largest hoard of Anglo-Saxon treasure ever found. Consisting of over 1600 items – including fittings from the hilts of swords, fragments from helmets, Christian crosses and magnificent pieces of garnet work – the Staffordshire Hoard has begun to rewrite history. This new and extended edition delves deeper into the story behind the hoard, using the latest research to fill previous gaps in knowledge and to turn some of the original perceptions on their head.

Nigel Tattersfield

A new approach to the celebrated naturalist engraver Thomas Bewick, highlighting his brilliant engravings designed for the world of the Industrial Revolution Thomas Bewick (1753–1828) was the foremost wood engraver of his generation: his extraordinary woodcuts of animals and birds made him famous. Yet Bewick was primarily a trade engraver working in Newcastle upon Tyne at the heart of the Industrial Revolution, approaching his numerous trade commissions with a unique flair and originality. From the Victorian times onwards, his work was often separated from his commercial world and he was regarded as an artist-naturalist rather than the artistcraftsman he actually was. Bewick made important – but even today often unrealised – contributions to the development of what we would today call graphic design. The British Museum holds an unrivalled collection of Bewick’s works and this beautifully illustrated book celebrates his skill by presenting a hundred engravings, some published here for the first time. • An entirely new approach emphasising Bewick’s commercial work for trade and popular entertainment • Contains work that is unavailable elsewhere, combined with a historical perspective • A fresh view of Bewick and his role within this era of industrial transformation

But as the darkness of the day thickened, so the tide of battle slowly tuned against him and in the end he fell, struck down by many wounds, at the great stone that stood upon the battlefield. Harald could not remember what else had happened. All was a whirling confusion of running and shouting, noise and blood. He remembered a strong hand on his shoulder and a swift flight. He remembered the sight of his own blood on his clothes and realised he had been hurt. But he did not know how he had come to the Mirk Wood. Perhaps Earl Rognvald had carried him there, for Harald was not alone in the forest. And that was well for him. 7

The Admonitions Scroll is arguably the earliest surviving Chinese painting. Illustrating a poem written in ad 292 by the poet-official Zhang Hua (232–300), its painted scenes reveal touching glimpses of court life. Painted in ink and colour on silk and traditionally attributed to the ‘founding figure’ of Chinese painting, Gu Kaizhi (c.345–406), the scroll entered the British Museum in 1903 and has become one of its most famous objects.

Modern scholarship holds that the Admonitions Scroll dates from the sixth to eighth century ad. While it may or may not be a copy of an original work by Gu, without doubt it accurately represents a style current in his lifetime and as such represents the seminal development of the features that came to distinguish Chinese ink painting as a distinctive world tradition.

Jan Stuart is Keeper of the Department of Asia at the British Museum. Her area of academic speciality is Chinese art and material culture with special emphasis on the Ming and Qing dynasties (fourteenth to early twentieth century). Before joining the Museum in 2006, she was a curator of Chinese art at the Smithsonian Institution’s Freer Gallery of Art and the Arthur M. Sackler Gallery, which together constitute the National Museum of Asian Art in the United States.

Francis Bacon, David Hockney, Lucian Freud and Frank Auerbach, all of whom he would include in his 1976 exhibition The Human Clay, a daring celebration of ﬁgurative art.

Kitaj’s early distinctive fragmentary style of painting is reﬂected in his prints, a lesserknown aspect of his work. Seen in context, his collage-like screenprints, produced with

the master printer Chris Prater, provide a crucial insight into Kitaj’s paintings, with images constantly migrating from one medium to another. Later, when his style drastically

changed and he embraced ﬁgurative art, Kitaj successfully translated this element of his work into prints, experimenting with different techniques and textured papers.

This book accompanies an exhibition of Kitaj’s prints at the British Museum and amounts to the deﬁnitive collection of the artist’s graphic works. The text explores the artist’s

biography and at the same time positions these prints within the context of his paintings. Kitaj’s complex and intriguing prints are highly

Erotic Japanese art was heavily suppressed in Japan from the 1870s onwards as part of a process of cultural ‘modernisation’ that imported many contemporary western moral values. Only in the last twenty years or so has it been possible to publish unexpurgated examples in Japan and this groundbreaking publication presents this fascinating art in its historical and cultural context for the first time. Drawing on the latest scholarship and featuring over 400 images of works from major public and private collections, this landmark book looks at painted and printed erotic images produced in Japan during the Edo period (1600–1868) and early Meiji era (1868– 1912). These are related to the wider contexts of literature, theatre, the culture of the pleasure quarters, and urban consumerism; and interpreted in terms of their sensuality, reverence, humour and parody.

cathedrals to metro stations. This beautiful book provides an informative and visually-exciting exploration of the history and art of tile-making. Starting in ancient Egypt, where the first fired wall tile dates from the third millennium BC, the book takes us on a journey around the world, where we encounter numerous masterpieces including the enormous English medieval floor pavements in Byland Abbey; figural tiles from China, intended to adorn roofs and ward off evil; the famous Iznik tiles from the Islamic world, with their splendidly ornate patterns; and the highly stylized ceramic tiles of the Arts and Crafts Movement. Bringing the story up to date, the final two chapters focus on tile production in the twentieth and twenty-first century, and showcase the work of some of the finest tile artists of our time.

Belinda Crerar is a former curator of the Romano-British collection at the British Museum. Her main academic interests include Roman imperial art, history and archaeology and she has excavated on several sites in Britain and Italy. Susan Raikes is Head of Learning and Volunteers at the British Museum. She has worked at a number of Roman sites in the United Kingdom and is the curator of the touring exhibition Roman Empire: Power and People.

Placing the tiles firmly in their historical and cultural context, the book looks at the full range of architectural and practical purposes of tiles, along with the various techniques employed to create such versatile pieces. It investigates both continuity and diversity, the dissemination of techniques and designs, and how tile art in one time and place has inspired and rejuvenated those in others.

DESIRE AND

How old is the oldest chat-up line between men? Who was the first ‘lesbian’? Were ancient Greek men who had sex together necessarily ‘gay’? And what did Shakespeare think about cross-dressing? A Little Gay History draws on objects ranging from ancient Egyptian papyri and the erotic scenes on the Roman ‘Warren Cup’ to modern images by artists such as David Hockney and Bhupen Khakhar to consider questions like these.

Shunga sex and pleasure in Japanese art

Shunga is in some ways a unique phenomenon in pre-modern world culture, in terms of the quantity, the quality and the nature of the art that was produced. This catalogue of a major international exhibition aims to answer some key questions about what is shunga and why was it produced. In particular the social and cultural contexts for sex art in Japan are explored.

Frequently tender, funny and beautiful, shunga were mostly done within the popular school known as ‘pictures of the floating world’ (ukiyo-e), by celebrated artists such as Utamaro and Hokusai. Early modern Japan was certainly not a sex-paradise; however, the values promoted in shunga are generally positive towards sexual pleasure for all participants. Official life in this period was governed by strict Confucian laws, but private life was less controlled in practice.

From the tender and the melancholy to the witty and the ribald, the poems and images in Haiku Love comment on the most universal of human emotions.

In early modern Japan thousands of sexually explicit paintings, prints, and illustrated books with texts were produced, euphemistically called ‘spring pictures’ (shunga).

Roman Empire Power and People At its height, the Roman Empire was one of the largest, most formidable and influential powers the world has ever seen. Stretching from Spain to Iraq, the North Sea to the southern border of Egypt, by AD 117 it had engulfed the area of around fifty modern-day countries. Roman Empire: Power and People explores the global and enduring impact of such a distinguished and mighty culture. Unifying changes, such as the formal organization of cities and the use of the Latin language, would have made all corners of the empire feel familiar to any traveller, but we will find that local traditions persisted and were even encouraged by the city of Rome. Cultural influence was not a one-way affair, as Rome itself embraced gods, food and even emperors sent back from its new territories. A wealth of objects and written evidence illustrate these exchanges between provinces and how inhabitants identified themselves within their part of the empire as well as how they were seen and identified by others. From an English woman who was made slave by her Roman conqueror, only to be freed and married to him later in life, to a soldier stationed at Hadrian’s Wall in Scotland who received a parcel of extra warm socks to help survive the miserable British weather; this book pieces together the evocative stories of real people who lived under the power and control of Rome. Featuring some of the British Museum’s finest objects from every outpost of the empire, this book teases out the subtleties of concepts of identity within the empire, and the curious paradox of a culturally-united people who were simultaneously artistically, religiously and tribally diverse.

Beyond El Dorado: power and gold in ancient Colombia 17 October 2013 – 23 March 2014

The BP exhibition Vikings: life and legend

Organised with Museo del Oro, Bogotá, this exhibition uncovers the fascinating truth behind the myths of El Dorado. Explore the rich and diverse cultures of pre-Hispanic Colombia through more than 300 astonishing objects. These beautiful and detailed works, made from gold and other precious materials, display a complex level of craftsmanship that perfectly marries art and skill.

This major exhibition will explore developments in Scandinavian society in the Viking Age, and the creation of a network of cultural contacts spanning four continents. Ships were central to the Viking expansion, and at the heart of the exhibition lies a 37-metre-long Viking warship. This is the longest Viking ship found to date, and has been conserved especially for this exhibition, where it will be on display for the first time.

Germany divided: Baselitz and his generation From the Duerckheim Collection

6 March – 22 June 2014

6 February – 31 August 2014

Featuring over 90 works by some of the leading names in contemporary art, this exhibition of post-1945 prints and drawings explores how six key artists redefined art in Germany in the 1960s and 70s and negotiated with the past, on both sides of the Berlin Wall. Half of the works on display are by Georg Baselitz (b. 1938), and 34 of the works in the exhibition, including 17 by Baselitz, have been generously donated to the British Museum by Count Christian Duerckheim.

Supported by BP Organised with the National Museum of Denmark, Copenhagen and the Museum of Prehistory and Early History, Berlin

Exhibition title: See page 28

Exhibition title: See page 3

Exhibition title: See page 9 Germany divided: Baselitz and his generation showcases a selection of key works from six artists who re-defined art in Germany in the second half of the twentieth century; Georg Baselitz, Marcus Lüpertz, Blinky Palermo, A.R. Penck, Sigmar Polke and Gerhard Richter. The majority of the works are displayed and published for the first time. In-depth biographical essays on each artist show how the division of Germany into separate states affected their work; and the importance of the experience of migration from East to West. The new consumer culture in the West contrasted starkly with the planned economy of the East. Artists on both side of the wall were faced with the difficult emotional task of negotiating with the past; not only the recent history of the Third Reich, but the ‘lost’ traditions of German painting, particularly Expressionism, from which they had been cut adrift. Germany divided explores the work of these artists in the broader historical context of Germany and Europe in the 1960s and 1970s, and shows how these debates placed crucial emphasis on the creation and display of art. Graphic traditions, reaching back through Expressionism to older traditions of printmaking in Germany, were an essential part of the reconstruction of artistic life, and a basis for the phenomenal international

At its height, the Roman Empire was one of the largest, most formidable and influential powers the world has ever seen. Stretching from Spain to Iraq, the North Sea to the southern border of Egypt, by AD 117 it had engulfed the area of around fifty modern-day countries. Roman Empire: Power and People explores the global and enduring impact of such a distinguished and mighty culture. Unifying changes, such as the formal organization of cities and the use of the Latin language, would have made all corners of the empire feel familiar to any traveller, but we will find that local traditions persisted and were even encouraged by the city of Rome. Cultural influence was not a one-way affair, as Rome itself embraced gods, food and even emperors sent back from its new territories. A wealth of objects and written evidence illustrate these exchanges between provinces and how inhabitants identified themselves within their part of the empire as well as how they were seen and identified by others. From an English woman who was made slave by her Roman conqueror, only to be freed and married to him later in life, to a soldier stationed at Hadrian’s Wall in Scotland who received a parcel of extra warm socks to help survive the miserable British weather; this book pieces together the evocative stories of real people who lived under the power and control of Rome. Featuring some of the British Museum’s finest objects from every outpost of the empire, this book teases out the subtleties of concepts of identity within the empire, and the curious paradox of a culturally-united people who were simultaneously artistically, religiously and tribally diverse.

Kitaj Prints

Jennifer Ramkalawon is a curator of prints and drawings at the British Museum, London, where she has organized many print displays. She is a specialist in late nineteenth- and twentiethcentury art and culture, and is the author of Toulouse-Lautrec and Love and Marriage.

Picasso Prints The Vollard Suite

American-born R.B. Kitaj (1932–2007), was one of the most controversial artists of the second-half of the twentieth century. He lived in London for almost forty years, only leaving his adopted homeland in 1994 after his ill-fated retrospective exhibition was savaged by critics. Hurt by the hostile reception of his works and grieving for the sudden death of his wife, the painter Sandra Fisher, Kitaj left England for good, returning to America declaring, ‘London is dead to me now.’ Kitaj was a major figure on the London art scene in the 1960s and 1970s along with Francis Bacon, David Hockney, Lucian Freud and Frank Auerbach, all of whom he would include in his 1976 exhibition The Human Clay, a daring celebration of figurative art. Kitaj’s early distinctive fragmentary style of painting is reflected in his prints, a lesserknown aspect of his work. Seen in context, his collage-like screenprints, produced with the master printer Chris Prater, provide a crucial insight into Kitaj’s paintings, with images constantly migrating from one medium to another. Later, when his style drastically changed and he embraced figurative art, Kitaj successfully translated this element of his work into prints, experimenting with different techniques and textured papers. This book accompanies an exhibition of Kitaj’s prints at the British Museum and amounts to the definitive collection of the artist’s graphic works. The text explores the artist’s biography and at the same time positions these prints within the context of his paintings. Kitaj’s complex and intriguing prints are highly personal and draw on many of the artist’s major obsessions such as literature, politics and film.

9 780714 118161 Frequently tender, funny and beautiful, shunga were mostly done within the popular school known as ‘pictures of the floating world’ (ukiyo-e), by celebrated artists such as Utamaro and Hokusai. Early modern Japan was certainly not a sex-paradise; however, the values promoted in shunga are generally positive towards sexual pleasure for all participants. Official life in this period was governed by strict Confucian laws, but private life was less controlled in practice. Shunga is in some ways a unique phenomenon in pre-modern world culture, in terms of the quantity, the quality and the nature of the art that was produced. This catalogue of a major international exhibition aims to answer some key questions about what is shunga and why was it produced. In particular the social and cultural contexts for sex art in Japan are explored. This sales blad contains uncorrected proofs of sample spreads and images.

A fascinating example of cohesion between practical necessity and artistic impulse, tiles can be found everywhere – from floors to ceilings and roofs, stoves to bathrooms and cathedrals to metro stations. This beautiful book provides an informative and visually-exciting exploration of the history and art of tile-making. Starting in ancient Egypt, where the first fired wall tile dates from the third millennium BC, the book takes us on a journey around the world, where we encounter numerous masterpieces including the enormous English medieval floor pavements in Byland Abbey; figural tiles from China, intended to adorn roofs and ward off evil; the famous Iznik tiles from the Islamic world, with their splendidly ornate patterns; and the highly stylized ceramic tiles of the Arts and Crafts Movement. Bringing the story up to date, the final two chapters focus on tile production in the twentieth and twenty-first century, and showcase the work of some of the finest tile artists of our time. Placing the tiles firmly in their historical and cultural context, the book looks at the full range of architectural and practical purposes of tiles, along with the various techniques employed to create such versatile pieces. It investigates both continuity and diversity, the dissemination of techniques and designs, and how tile art in one time and place has inspired and rejuvenated those in others.

5000 years of tiles

Richly illustrated with examples of tile art from the British Museum and beyond, this book is a visual feast of colour and decoration, and is a must-have for anyone interested in the ceramic or decorative arts. With 330 colour images
