Media Reviews
This is an enjoyable book, shuttling easily between the keen-eyed and the gently ruminative, filled with passion not so much for the objects in themselves as for the milieu in which they are made, continuously seeking after new and ever deeper cultural dialogues, amiably open to social entanglements. --Times Literary Supplement
