About This Item
Washington D.C. and London: Smithsonian Institution Press, 1998. 191 pages, illustrations (some colour); 30 cm. Near fine. Firm binding, clean inside copy. Light edgewear to wraps. Another copy available. OVERSIZE! No priority/air, except by special arrangement. Richly illustrated with colour plates of contemporary American crafts, with colour plates organized by media (clay, fiber, glass, metal, and wood). "Published as a celebration of the Renwick Gallery's twenty-fifth anniversary, this book masterfully illustrates the intellectual and tactile excitement found in American crafts. Photographs of exquisite clarity give this volume an optical effervescence. Each fiber, each woodgrain, each coil of rope has depth and dimension that tempt us to touch. Kenneth Trapp, curator-in-charge of the Renwick, and Howard Risatti, professor of art history at Virginia Commonwealth University, discuss the profound meaning these objects have in our lives." - Publisher.. Paperback. Very Good. 4to.
