A beautiful exhibition catalog and far more!

This is a real sleeper of a coffee table book for basket makers, collectors and enthusiasts of this craft in particular or the arts in general. It accompanied an exhibition, but offers much more than great color photos of an amazing variety of approaches to the craft by really top people. There's a history of modern basket making, lots of 2-page "Artists' Voices" (picture/philosophy combos), and specialized chapters on 8 different techniques. If, for inspiration or reference, you want a knockout survey of the most wild and gorgeous art pieces being made today, this is your book!
