Book
Paperback. Condition: Good. Sixtieth-Anniversary Edition 1934-1994. Facsimile of the 1934 catalogue, with a new preface by Philip Johnson. The catalogue demonstrates the distance we've come 'within the age of technology.' The original divisions of the exhibition - Industrial units; Household and office equipment; Kitchenware; House furnishings and accessories; Scientific instruments; Laboratory glass and porcelain - define a time when technology had already become the essence of productive culture. The change since then is, frankly, phenomenal, though the functionality of current technology still inhabits its predecessory legacy. One feels a kind of visual vertigo looking at the apparatus.as it was then, now. Addenda. Illus.
