The Studio Yearbook
Richard Neutra [introduction]
Richard Neutra [introduction]: DECORATIVE ART 1951 - 1952 [The Studio Yearbook]. London: Studio Books, 1951. First edition. Quarto. A very good or better hard cover book in a good dust jacket with somewhat rough fore edges including six tears and some small chips missing. Overall, a good copy from a series actively pursued by multiple constituencies. FEPs have slight foxing. Otherwise, interior unmarked and very clean. Out-of-print. 9 x 11.75 hard cover book with 124 pages and 500 b/w and 18 color illustrations and 20 pages of vintage advertisements. Printed in England, the craftsmanship and reproductions [printed on glossy paper] in this book are stunning.
Every object presented in this edition is identified by its designers and manufacturer/distributor. Materials are also noted. The presence of this information makes this an invaluable reference for collectors of modern decorative arts.
