SUMMARY- This is an amazing gallery book(no folding projects) with some absorbing essays. I happened to come across a used copy of this and snagged it out of curiosity(the impetus for most of my book buys) - so glad I did. I love getting a glimpse of so many different artists in one place. I just wish I could have seen the origin exhibit this book was a product of. There is no index in this book, unfortunately. I arranged the artist entries in alphabetical order in the Table of Contents by artist's last name. They have a ton of white space / blank pages with only the designer name and title of piece on the adjacent page. They could have easily put the photo on the same page and had room to display another artist's piece. And if they were having trouble filling 164 pages, why didn't they just shorten the number of pages? This is a minor puzzle and doesn't detract from the displays.
