OBJECTS OF DESIRE

“Objects of Desire” book published by Abrams Books. Featuring two lavish gatefolds and metallic edge stain, this book revolves around the hunt for, and the joy of living with, favorite collections and things. Author Maria Hummer-Tuttle celebrates objects she has collected over the years, from the priceless to the flea-market finds. Ranging from an ancient Chinese horse sculpture to a Louis XV clock painted with characters from an Aesop fable, these objects are precious not only for their beauty, uniqueness, and craftsmanship but also for their connection to the past and future, and resonance with one another. Features foreword by master ceramicist and acclaimed author Edmund de Waal, with 200 color photographs by Miguel Flores-Vianna.
