Gig Posters Volume I Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Short review:
1) This is an excellent 1st Edition.
2) The author included hard to find and relevant examples that are definitive of the genre
3) Wide breadth of artists, designers, bands, styles, etc. represented
4) The number one reason this is a 5 Star book is that the production values are magnificent, the paper stock is heavy, the prints are beautiful, the typos are nil (I haven't found any), registration is on-key, color is great, binding is durable, jacket is great. This is a value in today's cut and paste culture of mass media. This book presents the content in way that makes you want to open it again and again. This book belongs on top of your coffee table.

Coit Tower, San Francisco, Its History and Art Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Since I first viewed the Coit Tower Murals many years ago, I have been fascinated by them and revisit often. They represent so much of life in San Francisco from a time long ago. I was fortunate enough on that first visit to be with an artist who knew much about the Public Works of Art Project. (The history of that era is a subject for another book.)
When I learned that this book was about to be released, I couldn't wait to get a copy and learn more of the details of the works and artists.
Masha Zakheim shares her keen art historian's perspective which is uniquely combined with insights from her personal relationship with the works and their creators at the very time they were in production.
The pictures in this book are vivid reproductions, each accompanied by just the right amount of detail for a layperson to learn and enjoy this San Francisco jewel.

Coit Tower San Francisco: Its History and Art Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Coit Tower San Francisco: Its History and ArtThis is a new edition of what started out as a simple guidebook for the frescoes and other art covering the walls at Coit Tower. It has become a great reference book with beautifully designed pages and additional front matter and appendices written by leading experts in the art world that flesh out the history of the controversial project supported by Franklin Roosevelt's PWPA in the 1930s. I was particularly intrigued by the history of the author's father and the other artists who banded together with him to produce the largest collection of frescoes on the west coast.
