Kalman once again combines her wit with a sensibility for the beautiful, odd and ineffably moving by interweaving fifty “design objects” with her own observations and vignettes. Featuring the legendary collection of the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum, as well as her own, Maira Kalman explores objecthood and private keepsakes; what it means for a simple piece of furniture or cutlery to have both historical and personal significance; and the nature of nostalgia and materialism.
A beauty.
