This reference will provide the serious pottery collector with a great knowledge base for the serious collector of Marguerite Wildenhain art. She is without a doubt one of the "giant killers" of the American Movement, who influenced countless students in her very detailed approach to working with clay at the legendary Pond Farm Workshops. Her early history with some of the important artists in Europe, such as Marcks, Kandinsky, Feininger, Moholy-Nagy and Krehan just gives the reader the worldly perspective of this important artist/teacher and her history and impact on world ceramics. The book is in nice condition. Hardback with dust jacket and mylar cover. Early ink inscription on inside cover page to previous owner (who was one of F. Carlton Ball's ceramic students).
