Is Charles Eames the New Duncan Phyfe? Answer this question and more when you read the new mini edition of Judith Miller’s 20th Century Design
In the information-packed book you’ll learn everything you need to know about the subject of 20th Century Design and discover which designs are the true classics.
As many collectors and dealers already know, Modern design is beautiful, functional, idiosyncratic, steadily increasing in value and - perhaps of most interest - can still be relatively affordable. Designs once thought of as too avant-garde for functional use are now appreciated for the bold thinking and originality that went into making them. Yet, many of these pieces are just being discovered by collectors, and their craftsmanship, design, and importance is only now being measured.
Miller, who began collecting in the 1960s, has given both new and established collectors the perfect handbook. In it, she explains who the iconic designers are and shows hundreds of desirable pieces: furniture, glass, ceramics, metalwares, and more. The photography is wonderful and the book contains hints and tips, as well as price codes.
