Over 350 vivid color photos and engaging text reveal that bookends
have been a medium of art from the turn of the twentieth century to
today. The photos illustrate 350 pairs of bookends from principal
art styles, and the research places them in historical context.
Accompanying the photos are identification of the production date,
the foundry, sculptor, art style, commentary, and values. The
bookends presented have documented American art fashions for the
past one hundred years. This novel guide also organizes bookends by
art style and historical period, rather than subject matter, which
gives the reader new insight into the evolution of bookends in a
dynamic culture. Readers will come to regard bookends as works of
art and will be knowledgeable about their rightful place in the art
world. This book is a must-have reference for art lovers
everywhere.
