Edward S., Jr Cooke,Jr., Edward S. Cooke,Kelly L''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''Ecuyer,Pat Warner,Gerald W. R. Ward,Edward S. Cook,Gerald W.R. Ward
Studio Furniture straddles the worlds of craft and art, and is identified by fine design and technical virtuosity. The Maker's Hand is one of the first books about the studio furniture movement. Written by two of the leading experts in the field, it details the history and development of studio furniture, from its origins in post-World War II America through its explosion in the "return to nature" era of the '60's, transformation in the "techno" 70s and professional emergence in the 80s. The authors show how changes in American tastes, technology and culture have impacted the field. Detailed biographies of some 40 furniture makers, and guides to the main exhibitions, schools and galleries are included. Profusely illustrated with works by Castle, Maloof, Molly Gregory, John Cederquist, Judy Kensley McKie and many others, this is an invaluable guide to the imaginative and and often brilliant work of studio furnituremakers. Highly recommended.
