Beautifully illustrated, this volume serves as a catalogue and companion to the Boxes and Their Makers exhibition, which opened in the fall of 2009 at the Messler Gallery of the Center for Furniture Craftsmanship in Rockport, Maine. American historian Fitzgerald has gradually focused his career on studio furniture. He describes the pieces shown in the color photographs, and places them in the context of the artist's intention and other work. Three of the 30 artists represented are teams.
