THE ART OF CRAFT celebrates the very best of this genre, with sections on glass, ceramic, porcelain, wood, furniture, fibre and metal art. The objects are drawn from the Saxe Collection - certainly one of the premier collections of contemporary crafts in the world - and the book features works by many major artist including Robert Arneson, Dale Chihuly, Viola Frey, Sam Maloof, William Morris, Manuel Neri, Peter Voulkos and Beatrice Wood.
