First edition, one of 2,000 copies, of this landmark exhibition catalog responsible for the international reassessment of Cuban-born, Mexican modernist designer Clara Porset (1895–1981), widely recognized today as the foundational figure of twentieth-century Mexican furniture and industrial design. 4to, pictorial wrappers, 181 pages, profusely illustrated in color and black-and-white. Text in English and Spanish. Published by Museo Franz Mayer/Turner/UNAM in 2006 in conjunction with the seminal 2006 Museo Franz Mayer exhibition.
The volume combines substantial scholarly essays by editor Ana Elena Mallet, Oscar Salinas, Alejandro Hernandez Galvez, and others with an extensive visual survey of Porset's furniture, interiors, textiles, photographs, drawings, and archival material. Elegantly designed and beautifully produced, it has become the standard reference on Porset's work and an essential title for collectors of Latin American modernism, furniture design, architecture, and women designers.
Long out of print and increasingly elusive in commerce. Light bumping and rubbing to extremities. Interior near fina. An attractive example of one of the most important modern Mexican design publications of the past quarter century.
