The fine art of wood
the Bohlen collection
by Bonita Fike
"With more than 130 creations in wood made by nearly a hundred international artists over the course of the last decade, The Fine Art of Wood celebrates an intensely appealing contemporary art form.
Featuring innovative pieces with striking shapes, unusual finishes, and sensuous woods from every corner of the world, the book offers a rare opportunity to explore a pivotal breakthrough in the field: artists working in wood now claim the same freedom of expression long enjoyed by ceramists and glass artists.".
"An extensive catalog section, filled with photographed and reproduced color illustrtions, spotlights the visual pleasures of the works themselves, by artists ranging from David Ellsworth, Ron Kent, and Mark Lindquist to Rude Osolnick and Bob Stockdale. Brief biographies of each artist conclude the book."--BOOK JACKET.
