Jean-Michel Frank monograph ed. Adolphe Chanaux
‘Throw out and keep throwing out. Elegance means elimination.’ Jean-Michel Frank
Hardcover, large format first edition of Editions du Regard’s monograph on the great French designer Jean-Michel Frank, in Near Fine condition (the spine faded, but otherwise an excellent copy), with lavish photographs in black and white and some in colour of the master’s interiors and furniture designs, with texts in French and English. Frank’s iconic and elegant designs in luxurious materials such as stingray skin and shagreen have wielded enormous influence on the direction of Contemporary design ever since, prefiguring Minimalism thirty years before the fact.
