In the 1970s, as the strictures of modernism dissolved and seemingly every creative field opened itself to restless experimentation, artists and designers began to feel that in furniture, too, everything was possible. The next quarter century saw an amazing flourishing of furniture as art. Creators like Wendell Castle, Wendy Maruyama, Tom Loeser, Thomas Hucker, Rosanne Somerson, James Hong, Terence Main, and Howard Meister saw their pieces avidly collected by the public as well as leading museums.

This handsome volume, perhaps the most extensive ever published on the subject, tells the story of the Art and Furniture Movement in its protagonists' own words, illustrated with vibrant and archival photography. Dennis Miller, an influential furniture and design gallerist who participated in this movement, gathers fascinating, in-depth interviews not only with the preeminent furniture artists but also with the curators and gallerists who nurtured and promoted their work, such as Robert Aibel, Bob Cardinale, Judy Coady, Carole Hochman, Keith Johnson, Bebe and Warren Johnson, and Susan Lewin. A valuable introduction traces the history of the movement and places it in a broader cultural context. Art & Furniture will be an essential addition to any bookshelf of art and design.
