This book clarifies and amplifies our understanding of the art of the Spanish Enlightenment by offering an integrated view of the artists working in eighteenth-and nineteenth-century Spain, both foreign and native, in the context of a cosmopolitan, outward-looking court and a rapidly changing social and cultural environment.

Crossroads of American Sculpture examines the works of six artists whose lives are linked by their place in the history of 20th-century sculpture. Painters and sculptors began to explore nontraditional subjects and to search for abstract ways of representing their ideas early in the 20th century, but it was during the period from 1945 to 2000 that sculpture radically expanded its forms, materials and subjects. Crossroads of American Sculpture looks at this remarkable period in which artists expressed new ideas and employed new mediums, including industrial materials, words, found objects, photography, neon, video and live performances. The resulting works include Smith’s "drawings in air" and his Forging and Cubi series; Rickey’s mesmerizing kinetic sculptures; Chamberlain’s colorful crushed auto bodies; Indiana’s wooden herms and LOVE sculptures; Wiley’s punning assemblages, like Nomad Is an Island, and the wide range of Nauman’s work, including his neon, fiber-glass, bronze and video pieces. More than 150 works by the artists, including 60 drawings, are reproduced in color.

For centuries, the people of Morocco have been producing magnificent embroideries, pile rugs, and flatweaves. The Fabric of Moroccan Life showcases rare embroideries, hangings, and rugs that reflect the broad range of traditions and cultural influences active in Morocco during the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries. The book explores the artistic importance of these superb weavings as well as their central role in Moroccan culture. 
Approximately 150 pieces -- and numerous details -- are illustrated in color, and additional photographs (including many that were taken in the 1930s) show how they were once used in everyday life in Morocco. The book includes essays on Moroccan embroidery and its origins, traditional costumes of the cities and rural areas, the weavings of the Berbers and other ethnic groups, and the distinctive characteristics of items made by particular ethnic sub-groups. The contributing writers are eminent scholars and experts in a variety of fields, including Moroccan history and culture; Moroccan rugs, textiles, and clothing; and natural dyes. A wealth of information is included that has never before been available in one volume.
