Folio wrappers, 10 1/2" x 14 3/4", 80pp., lavishly illustrated throughout with color and b/w plates. "One of the most profoundly inventive and varied…achievements in twentieth-century design, the work of Susie Cooper holds up a mirror to the history of the decorative arts in this century, from the Art Deco twenties to the present day. Her life was one of exceptional creativity coupled with commercial success, recognized in 1987 in a major retrospective exhibition at London's Victoria and Albert Museum. It is now celebrated, shortly after her death at the age of ninety-two, by this magnificent, large-format presentation of her work, illustrated with superb colour photographs by Earl Beesley of all her most important pieces. The book is completed by invaluable documentation of her techniques, key patterns, shapes and stamps." Near fine.
