Testo In Inglese. 

Foreword by Jim Dine.
Preface by Tom Wolfe.
Photography by John Parnell.

Between the covers of this book are decorative works of art, once thought of as merely buttons." -Mario Buatta "A dazzling cornucopia that charts the button's evolution - from bucolic 18th-century French enamels to racy American silk garter studs with Clara Bow faces - in an absorbing text by two women with a profound knowledge of their subject and a passion that corresponds." -Vanity Fair "An enchanting book . . . nothing less than a gallery of paintings, sculptures, carvings and collages in miniature. Once you get a look at these gems, you'll view the not-so-humble closure with a new eye." -Glamour Haughtily beautiful or whimsically irreverent, buttons are a unique mirror of changing fashions in dress and the decorative arts through the centuries. With a foreword by acclaimed artist Jim Dine and a preface by best-selling author Tom Wolfe, both devoted buttons aficionados, this book appeals to the serious collector and casual enthusiast alike.

Millicent Safro has worked as a restorer and appraiser of fine arts and antiques. The late Diana Epstein was a writer, lecturer, and consultant to museums, auction houses, and publishers. Together, they founded the renowned New York City store Tender Buttons. John Parnell is a New York- based photographer. (T-CA)
