About This Item
New York: Thames & Hudson, 2002. Hardcover. VG/VG (Bookplate and few marks from previous art-library owner; otherwise quite nice.). Forest green boards, white & color illus. dust jacket, 256 pp., 139 color illus., 133 BW illus. "Once the concern of scholars and art historians, the cabinet of curiosities has, since the Surrealists, undergone an astonishing revival as an object of aesthetic pleasure, while emerging as a source of inspiration for interior decorators and conetmporary artists. This is one of those rare books that rescues an exciting but apparently abstruse subject from the past and shows its considerable resonant power to interest, excite and move us today." (dj) Lavishly illustrated with scenes of the cabinets of the past.
