Résumé
Minerals have a specific crystal structure that occurs naturally in pure form, and certain pieces from the diverse range of specimens have become their own kind of art. Fabian Wildfang, one of today’s top collectors, navigates the artistic value of minerals. Like the cabinets of his collection, the photographs of the specimens in this book contain no labels. Mineral names, origin data, and folios are listed in a separate section, so admirers can enjoy their jaw-dropping forms and vibrant colours without preconceptions. The book also provides a detailed explanation of Wildfang’s aesthetics for fine minerals, broken down into categories such as shape, proportion, balance, and texture.
