i was excited when a package arrived from abrams books (the publisher of printing by hand) with a copy of vera, the art and life of an icon. i’ve been wanting to see this book for a while! vera neumann has been an idol of mine for a long time. she was such a prolific and successful textile designer. what i enjoyed most about the book was reading about her life and her business. she had a close friendship with alexander calder (and her prints inspired by his work are some of my favorites). i’ve always wanted to know more about her, and had a hard time finding information in the past. the book would be a great holiday present for a textile lover!
I never knew about her. Her work is fascinating Im off to see if I can get the book in Oz.
I'm jealous, I want this too! I manage a bookstore, so no one ever gives me books as presents, so I will have to get it for myself 🙂
lucky you! This book looks great.
Looks like a very nice book. I found this and thought about you, maybe you need some crafting during the holidays 🙂
