About this title: The fastest growing segment of the art and collectibles market is Mid-Century Modern furniture and decorative arts. What-ever the reasons for this, modern is back - in all its shockingly bright and basic colours and its sleek go-with-anything lines. Each piece is a statement of art. From furniture artists Eames & Nakashima to ceramicists Scheier, Natzler, Cabat & Grotell, we learn about the creations of America's great designers whose bodies of work dovetail neatly into one another, in spite of how vastly different they are.
