About This Item
Tulsa: The Philbrook Museum of Art, 1987. Hardcover. Good+/Good (fading and overall shelfwear to dust jacket, pages are clean with light wear to book block). Turquoise cloth over boards with teal lettering. Color-illustrated dj with metallic spine lettering; 289 pp, profusely illustrated in bw and color throughout. Aptly titled, this splendid tour de force treats readers to multifaceted investigations of memorable objects "shimmering with consequence," from the formally sublimeHarvey Littleton's prismatic glass arcs, Laura Andreson's quixotic luster-glazed porcelains; to the socially portentousJudy Chicago's feminist tableware; the satiricRobert Aronson's ceramic finger-key typewriter; the harrowingJames Surl's cruciform wood mobile, "Needle Man"; the technically awesomeStanley Lechtzin's electroformed silver jewelry; and just plain kitschKenny Scharf's "Van Chrome Television." The authors, curators of the exhibition at Tulsa's Philbrook Museum that formed the basis for this volume, highlight new directions over the last two decades in work in clay, glass, metals, fibers and wood.
