Biegman, Niek. Whipped Cream and Other Delights of Amsterdam Architecture (Huizen med pruik)

Pap. KIT 2011

Book ID: 89302

This book presents the first focused look at the whimsical architectural feature, gables topped with blond shoulder-length wigs made of painted stone that look much like whipped cream, which was all the rage when Amsterdam was at the height of its power and prosperity. The city is known for its concentric canals, its distinctive bell towers and its city hall, but what is less observed are these decorative wigs depicting gods, dolphins, dogs, lions.
