About This Item
Madison, WI: Guild Publishing, 2001. First Edition, First Printing. Fine Hardcover in a Near Fine Dust Jacket. Near Fine/Fine.
No Flaws or Blemishes but minimal shelf handling causing a scratch on the right side of the front figure. 11.25 inches tall; 128 pages.. Thomas Mann creates wordless pieces of metal art that speak volumes with beauty, character and humor.
This breathtaking showcase of his work illustrates the story of how Thomas Mann came to reach such levels of creative genius. From counter-culture jewelry maker to modern "artrepreneur,"
Mann is profiled through both contributor essays and photos of his own extraordinary artwork. Written pieces include a fascinating assessment of Mann's work in the context of the contemporary craft movement from Lloyd Herman, founding director of the Smithsonian Institution's Renwick Gallery.
A second essay, by National Public Radio commentator and novelist Andrei Codrescu, captures the essence of Mann's humor, vision and creativity. Through the eyes of these two exceptional authors, the reader learns how Mann maintains the individuality and creativity of his artworks, while overseeing a staff that produces more than 20,000 pieces each year.
