Summary

The fastest-growing segment of the art and collectibles market is Mid-Century Modern furniture and decorative arts. There are many reasons for this, including its tremendous availability, relatively low cost, and imaginative variety. For whatever reasons, Modern is back -- in all its shockingly bright and basic colors and its sleek go-with-anything lines. Each piece is a statement of art.

The best American furniture and ceramics during this period came from non-factory producers, artists developing their personal styles in shaping the decorative arts.

From furniture artists Eames and Nakashima to ceramicists Scheier, Natzler, Voulkos, Cabat and 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.
