Description

 

The Art Deco Style is richly illustrated with the work of legendary designers and decorators Eileen Gray, Paul Iribe, Antoine Bourdelle, Armand-Albert Rateau and Jean Dunand, among others.

Ever since its early 20th-century origins, Art Deco has fascinated and amused socialites, collectors and designers.

Referred to at the time as moderne, the style largely took shape around a clientele of French fashion industry luminaries and wealthy international collectors.

Art historians christened it during a second wave in the 60s, while a third generation of afficionados entered the auction houses of the 80s and 90s, ready to invest in the most exquisite examples.

Curated by art consultant and author Alastair Duncan, this detailed historical account is the gold-standard visual guide to the decorative arts.
