"The collection is organized in chronological order. It starts with the fabrics conceived by the artists of the Secessions (Berlin, Munich, Vienna), from Moser to Hoffmann and Klimt, and others from the Art Nouveau milieu. After considering the theme of the fabrics with a Deco and Novecentro flavour, it continues with offerings from the 1950s, both in Europe and in the USA, influenced by abstract art currents. Then come the experiences of Pop Art, Op Art and Kinetic Art, up to the most recent accomplishments. Finally, this volume includes back matter that specialists, collectors and anyone who simply has an interest in art and lifestyles will find useful: biographies of the designers and main manufacturers, a glossary of technical terms, and a bibliography."--BOOK JACKET.
