Objects Art Deco Style, Assouline, 19 October 2021

This glossy new tome spotlights one of the most innovative art and design movements to influence the 20th century. The first volume in Assouline’s new series of Style books, Art Deco Style shows the multifaceted allure of the decorative design idiom and its continuing influence on fashion, art and design today.

Evolving between the two World Wars, Art Deco came to symbolise modernity, sophistication, glamour and optimism for technological progress. Expect beautiful imagery of everything from furniture and decorative objects to architecture and interiors. There is also a jolly introduction by Jared Goss, former associate curator in the department of Modern and Contemporary Art at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Enjoy.
