American decorative arts and sculpture.
by Nonie Gadsden and Kelly L'Ecuyer
"American Decorative Arts and Sculpture features over one hundred carefully selected masterpieces of furniture, silver, glass, ceramics, metals, coins, basketry, and sculpture from one of the world's preeminent collections. The objects in this book range through all time periods, encompassing a broad geographic sweep and embracing masterworks of artisan and artist alike. Included in this volume are such signal pieces as Paul Revere's Sons of Liberty bowl, silver by Tiffany and Gorham, sculpture by William Rimmer and Augustus Saint-Gaudens, furniture by Gustav Stickley and Charles Eames, and craft objects by Sam Maloof, Judy McKie, and other contemporary artists, as well as selected examples from Central and South America. Illustrated and discussed with authority, American Decorative Arts and Sculpture offers a vision of beauty, form, and function as it has flourished in the Americas from the Age of Discovery to our own time."--BOOK JACKET
