Summary biographies and evaluations identify the forms or elements that make their works valuable collectibles. While the designs of a variety of independent furniture markers are showcased, John Sollo features Paul Evans, Phil Powell, George Nakashima, Wharton Esherick, and Vladimir Kagan, whose pieces are highly prized in the collectorÆs market., English, Year2001, Illust.
