Wonders are collectible

Taxidermy

Tranquil beauty

Aren't we all speechless at the ultimate beauty of nature ? Don't we all want to capture it and indulge in these images forever ? To capture animals in all their glory in a way that portrays every flamboyant, scintillating detail is a delicate art - just think about Thomas Grünfeld, Les Deux Garçons, Levon Biss, Iris Schieferstein or Vincent Fournier.

This book provides an overview of the history, the myths, the symbolism, and the process of taxidermy. It tells us about the most wonderful collections and interiors, decorated as true Wunderkaṁmers, and the craftsmen and artists from past and present who elevated taxidermy to fine art. A weird and wonderful overview of the fine art of taxidermy, a world between reanimation and reincarnation.
