Specifikacia Michael Coffey: Furniture Maker and Sculptor in Wood Coffey Michael
- First book by master sculptor and craftsman Michael Coffey - Memoir that spans from the Great Depression, to the tumult of New York City in the 1960s and 1970s, to a long, dedicated career making some of the most high sought after pieces of wood furniture - A highly sophisticated reflection on the relationship between art and life Michael Coffey: Furniture Maker and Sculptor in Wood unsettles the conventional distinction between craftsman and artist, which is often assumed to be the difference between creating something new, as opposed to reproducing old forms. Inspired by but not beholden to artist-craftsmen such as George Nakashima, Wendell Castle, and Jack Rogers Hopkins, Coffey's handmade, one-of-a-kind works seamlessly combine the irregular forms of nature, an aesthetic built on the variable and unexpected, with a deep sense for the haptic and functional qualities of wood.
