It's 210 pages, simply titled "Tapio Wirkkala," and highlights the artist's themes and design approach with photos, most in black and white, many taken by Wirkkala himself. The brief text details his biography and development within the context of Finnish design at midcentury. It's not a reference for collectors, but those interested in Wirkkala's studio work, process, and a portrait of the artist will find it helpful.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11654228699675236352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087940973013594269.post-86862174762545018252014-06-03T11:12:46.672-05:002014-06-03T11:12:46.672-05:00I had never noticed that before!
