Turquoise cloth over boards with teal lettering. Color-illustrated dust jacket with metallic spine lettering; 289 pp, profusely illustrated in black and white and in color throughout.

Aptly titled, this splendid tour de force treats readers to multifaceted investigations of memorable objects "shimmering with consequence," from the formally sublime Harvey Littleton's prismatic glass arcs, Laura Andreson's quixotic luster-glazed porcelains; to the socially portentous Judy Chicago's feminist tableware; the satiric Robert Aronson's ceramic finger-key typewriter; the harrowing James Suri’s cruciform wood mobile, "Needle Man"; the technically awesome Stanley Lechtzin's electroformed silver jewelry; and just plain kitschy Kenny Scharf's "Van Chrome Television." The authors and curators of the exhibition at Tulsa's Philbrook Museum that formed the basis for this volume highlight new directions over the last two decades in work in clay, glass, metals, fibers and wood. Good+/Good (fading and overall shelf wear to dust jacket, pages are clean with light wear to book.
