This stunning book will be on the wish-list of any woodworker and is must-have for any wood-artist's library. As the first book to catalogue the preeminent collection of American studio furniture owned by the Smithsonian's Renwick Gallery, "Studio Furniture" is a beautifully photographed chronicle of one of the most important movements in modern craft - the Studio Furniture movement. Featuring a Who's Who of American furniture making, it features 84 stunning pieces and provides fascinating insight into each maker's professional training, artistic techniques and inspirations. Among those included are Sam Maloof, Tage Frid, Wharton Esherick, Wendall Castle and other artists whose work is unsurpassed for its functionality, creativity and fine craftsmanship.
Oscar P. Fitzgerald, Ph.D., earned his M.A. and Ph.D. in history from Georgetown University and served as director of the Navy Museum in Washington, D.C., until he decided to pursue full time his passion as a furniture historian and decorative arts consultant. He is a member of the faculty of the Smithsonian Institution/Corcoran School Master's Program in the Decorative Arts, where he developed and teaches a core course on the studio furniture movement. His book Four Centuries of American Furniture is the standard reference work in the field. Fitzgerald's 2008 book, Studio Furniture of the Renwick Gallery, chronicles the development and expansion studio furniture movement in the United States through the Renwick Gallery's collection. In 2004, he was awarded a prestigious James Renwick Research Fellowship, which funded research for an essay published in the 2005 issue of Furniture Studio.
