Theodore Deck: The Peter Marino Collection

Description

Theodore Deck was a central figure in the revival of ceramic art in France and one of the most esteemed ceramic artists in the late nineteenth century. He completely transformed the art of faience, and was internationally renowned for reinventing techniques and styles from past centuries and Asian cultures. In this sumptuous book, architect and collector Peter Marino shares his collection of more than 250 Deck masterpieces for the first time, each beautifully reproduced in a luxurious oversized format.

Etienne Tornier is curator of the nineteenth- to twenty-first-century collection at the Musee des Arts Decoratifs et du Design in Bordeaux and teaches at Parsons Paris on the MA in History of Design and Curatorial Studies. Peter Marino is the principal of Peter Marino Architect PLLC, the New York-based architecture firm he founded in 1978. His work includes awardwinning residential, retail, cultural, and hospitality projects worldwide.
