Included are selections from Modern, Pop Art and Pop cultures. Most of the designs are shown in b/w, but there are also some in full color. The book was written and curated by Philippe Garner, Sotheby's expert in modern applied arts. This is a must-have, great reference for designers, artists, interior decorators, and, of course, collectors. This copy is in very good, as if unread, condition. Clean, bright unmarked. Some very minor wear to the jacket, along the edges. less
