New York : Walker & Co. : Distributed to the trade by Holtzbrinck Publishers, 2006. 455 p., [32] p. of plates : ill. (some col.), ports. ; 25 cm. Includes bibliographical references (p. 427-444) and index. Sigmund Freud's collection of Egyptian, Greek, and Roman antiquities is one of the art world's best-kept secrets. Over a forty year period he amassed an extraordinary array of nearly three thousand statues, vases, reliefs, busts, rings, and prints. For Freud, psychoanalysis and his art collection developed together in a symbiotic, nourishing relationship, each informing and enriching the other. Freud used myth to illustrate controversial theories like the Oedipus complex, situating ancient symbolism in a modern context. To create a portrait of Freud the art collector, Janine Burke builds a vibrant, richly detailed and intimate image of his life and times, tracing Freud's taste for beautiful things back to his earliest years. The Sphinx on the Table is set against the glittering, decadent, backdrop of fin-de-siecle Vienna where an artistic flowering took place in painting, theater, writing and architecture.--From publisher's description.
