我所不知道的出版家 Walter Neurath

我所不知道的出版家 Walter Neurath

英國大出版社 Thames and Hudson公司，有一每年藝術學講座和獎項，來紀念其創辦人： Walter Neurath。Ernst Hans Josef Gombrich( 1909–2001 的第一本德文書A Little History of the World 【2005 年英譯書名Yale University Press, 2005】就是他經手的。我貼過『從原文翻譯就一定比較好嗎？以「寫給年輕人的簡明世界史」為例 ,』

我們都談Walter Neurath Memorial Lectures 。他們以前經常在倫敦大學舉行。Birkbeck College 大學是東道主。

在 1985年，這 Memorial Lectures ，為第17 屆。通常會印一本約50頁的精裝書，以前誠品書店會進一些。他們自己的網站上也只有近十年不到的庫存（ Still Available）。

Ernst Hans Josef Gombrich( 1909–2001 的第一本德文書（1930s 維也納出版 ）：A Little History of the World 【2005 年英譯書名Yale University Press, 2005】就是他經手的。我貼過『從原文翻譯就一定比較好嗎？以「寫給年輕人的簡明世界史」為例 ,』

現在手頭上有一本故 Lawrence Gowing教授的演講稿：, The Originality of Thomas Jones ( London, 1985)

他開頭首頁有段話，我憑記憶大概說一下：

每個朋友都後悔沒有遵循他的稿約，寫出許多的名著。他的創意無窮。主持的『圖說（古）英國』等叢書已經成為國家的文化遺產。他主持的宴會，各色各樣的英材聚集。在戰後之隔年他在開完會之後還會用車子將散布在大倫敦城的朋友送回家…… ..

	Rosalind Krauss ''A Voyage on the North Sea'' Art in the Age of the Post-Medium Condition (31st Walter Neurath Memorial Lecture, 1999) Rosalind Krauss  'Krauss combines a real wealth of material and insight into a complex, multi-layered argument' – Object In "A Voyage on the North Sea" , Rosalind Krauss, one of the most important and respected art historians of our time, presents the art of the Belgian artist Marcel Broodthaers. Referring to Broodthaers's films, books, graphic design and museum 'fictions', Professor Krauss argues that his work demonstrates that the specificity of artistic mediums can never be simply collapsed into their physical properties, for they are in fact complex structures of interdependent technical practices and layered conventions. She identifies Broodthaers's example as being fundamental to artists today in the post-medium age. 2000
