A Yankee Book Peddler US Core Title for 2013
'... thoroughly researched, well organized, and performs an important function in incorporating information from the latest publications, as well as from earlier ones by Czech and Polish scholars difficult of access. Bubenik relates the whole to modern reception theory in convincing fashion.' Jane Campbell Hutchison, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Emerita
'... begins with a rehearsal of Dürers historiography, and then reviews the artists, images, and collectors who responded to Dürer in the period immediately following his death. The strength of the book is its codification of Dürers reception.' Renaissance Quarterly
'... this book demonstrates the absolute relevance of contemporary reception theory in our understanding of the early modern, as well as the absolute relevance of Dürer in contemporary debates on the role of the artist as a practitioner and as an authority, at the intersection between the production and reception of images and knowledge.' Parergon
'It is in regard to the collecting of Dürers art, its transference from site to site, and the control of its documentation by its owners that Andrea Bubeniks book makes an important contribution to the study of the reception of Dürers work.' CAA Reviews
'This book really engages with Dürers legacy, what the Germans call Rezeption, or the afterlife of his images, particularly around the turn of the seventeenth century. The author ... has immersed herself in the collecting of the great Nuremberg artists work in the century-and-a-half following his death.' The Sixteenth Century Journal
'Bubeniks ambitious work is certainly a welcome addition in that it brings together numerous important sources and works of art, thus constituting a valuable starting point for any research on the subject.' Print Quarterly
