Fäden der Macht.
Tapisserien des 16. Jahrhunderts aus dem
Kunsthistorischen Museum
von Katja Schmitz-von Ledebur, hrsg. von Sabine
Haag, Wien 2015.

Michaela Noll, Wien ISBN: 978-3-99020-098-8
Jurybegründung:
Die äußerst fragile Sammlung an Wandbehängen
des Kunsthistorischen Museums in Wien kann nur
temporär ausgestellt werden - umso dankbarer
muss man für diese umfassend gelungene
Dokumentation sein: schon der hervorragend
verarbeitete, stabile Schuber weist auf die
fantastische Bild- und Farbintensität hin, mit
der die Fotografien im Inneren des Bandes die
feingliedrige Materialität der Exponate
einzufangen imstande sind; in harmonischer
Abfolge mit ausklappbaren Bilddoppelseiten und in
sorgfältig ausgewählten Zooms schafft der klare
und luftige Satz Tatsachen und demonstriert auch
gestalterisch die Wandelbarkeit von Papier, das
veredelt wird. Selbst die Rückenheftbindung
erweckt den Eindruck von fein gezogenen
Teppichfäden: die "Fäden der Macht"
legen nicht weniger als die visuelle Sprache der
Neuzeit offen. (Quelle: www.schoenstebuecher.at/ )
