Description: New Haven: Yale University Press, Bard Graduate Center for Studies in the Decorative Arts, Design & Culture, 2015. 23cm., hardcover, 120pp., 90 color illus. Summary: Sophisticated historic craft traditions have had a profound influence on contemporary practice in the fields of textiles, ceramics, furniture and metalwork in Latin America. Tradition and Innovation explores the ways in which state-of-the-art technology functions in tandem with age-old techniques to produce works inspired by organic and sensual natural forms. Among those represented in the book is the Bogota textile workshop of Hechizoo, founded by the architect Jorge Lizarazo. Working with traditional craftsmen from indigenous communities, Hechizoo has established an international reputation for innovative pieces. (^Available Summer 2015, further details forthcoming^)
