Luigi Valadier in Nicaragua
In 1767 and 1768, anumber of objects made by renowned 18th-century Roman goldsmith Luigi Valadier (1726–1785) were sent fromRome to an unnamed “principal church in Mexico,” among them, a monstrance (avessel in which the consecrated Host is shown). All were thought to be lost.During The Frick Collection’s 2018 exhibition Luigi Valadier: Splendor inEighteenth-Century Rome, Xavier F. Salomon kept asking himself whether thelost treasure might be found.The odds were slim because objects made of gold, silver, and precious stones have so often been melted for cash or recycling. But after an extensive search, Salomon located the monstrance in the Cathedral of León in Nicaragua, along with approximately twenty-five other “lost” objects—chandeliers, reliquaries, a chalice, and candlesticks—all works by Valadier, and many of them still in daily use in the cathedral. For more than 250 years this sacred treasure—the largest survivingValadier collection in the world—has been known only to worshippers in León,their origin a mystery, until now.

Reading Paul Valéry
Paul Valéry's work is a unique odyssey in the universe of ideas and mental forms. The most recently acknowledged - and the most private - of the masters of modernity, Valéry is perhaps the most radical and wide-ranging. He navigates freely within the mental galaxies known to scientists, poets, literary theorists, musicians, philosophers, historicans and social anthropologists, always concerned to explore the potential and limits of the human mind. Originally published in 1999, the present volume of essays by internationally recognised scholars offered the first comprehensive account of Valéry's work in English or French. It provided a series of readings bringing into focus the deeper coherence that animates what Valéry called his 'unitary mind in a thousand pieces', and offered perspectives on the immense range of his experimental and fragmentary writings. This book moved forward the frontiers of our understanding of Valéry's work, and substantially altered the way in which he was perceived.
