Publisher's Note
European embroideries, African weavings, kites and posters, hats and soft sculpture, hand tools, and much more--this book celebrates the extraordinary originality seen in textiles and objects that people have created to adorn themselves and their homes, for religious purposes, and to express their thoughts, feelings, hopes, and dreams.These 250 works were sought out and collected by Lloyd Cotsen, former chairman of the Neutrogena Corporation. They are among the highlights of Cotsen's enormous collection, and serve as an introduction to the over 2,500 works that will be on view in the new Neutrogena Wing of the Museum of International Folk Art in Santa Fe, New Mexico, starting in August 1998.Organized geographically, this sumptuous volume illustrates the varied and fascinating methods of artistic expression seen around the world and throughout history. Following an introduction by Cotsen, essays and commentaries by a team of international scholars discuss the works, reflecting history, aesthetics, and the major areas of textile and folk art collecting today.Mary Hunt Kahlenberg is former curator of the Textile and Costume Department at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. She worked with Lloyd Cotsen to build the art collection at the Neutrogena Corporation and is now a research associate at the Museum of New Mexico and owner of the Textile Arts Gallery in Santa Fe.

Industry Reviews
This volume highlights 250 of the 2500 works of art collected by Lloyd Cotsen, former chair of the Neutrogena Corporation, which are currently on view in the new Neutrogena Wing of the Museum of International Folk Art in Santa Fe, NM. Kahlenberg, former curator of the Textile and Costume Department at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, worked with Cotsen to build the collection over a period of 35 years. Fascinated by artistic expression, Cotsen selected objects created throughout the world by both skilled and unskilled artisans and crafters working in different media, including textiles, ceramics, wood, straw, and paper. Either ceremonial or functional in nature, these pieces are organized geographically and discussed by various scholars, who detail their history as well as their aesthetics. Beautifully photographed, this title is recommended for larger public libraries with specialized collections. Judith Yankielun Lind, Roseland Free P.L., NJ
