ART PLASTIC: DESIGNED FOR LIVING
Dinoto Andrea
ISBN: 0896594378
Abbeville Press 1971 First Edition

This lavish pictorial history demonstrates that objects made of plastic have great diversity of form and wide appeal, that they are sculptural, usually colourful, often humorous, but also sleekly sophisticated. They range in style from Edwardian to Art Deco, from Streamlined to Pop and Postmodern." Heavier items may require additional postage. Very Good
