The Polish and French historian Krzysztof Pomian (b. 1934) devoted his long career to exploring concepts of memory and history in which the meanings of certain objects have always played a leading role. The present book, composed of essays from the 1970s and 1980s, was first published in France in 1987 and immediately became fundamental to the study of the history of collecting, setting the factual and theoretical framework within which several subsequent generations of scholars have worked. Pomian does not recognize today's accepted boundaries between collecting works of "fine art" on the one hand and other objects on the other, painting an overall picture of European collecting from the sixteenth to the eighteenth century. It demonstrates the interdisciplinary nature of the history of collecting, inextricably intertwined not only with the history of art, science, society, and politics, but also with anthropology, sociology, and questions of value and meaning in the context of different economic and social structures.
The publication is intended for historians and art historians, as well as for a wide range of readers interested in European culture and anthropology.
