Product Description
Here together in one fantastic 9 volume set is Peter Elgass' s bestselling, excellent and praiseworthy project of photographically documenting yearly the work of a number of master blacksmiths from around the world. This set includes all published volumes (9 in all) in the series from the first in 1999 to the most recent 2007 volume.
The list of great artists featured in these books is very long, but among them are the USA's Albert Paley, Italy's Simon Benetton and Claudio Bottero, and Germany's Manfred Bergmeister and Alfred Bullermann.
The photos in the 1999 through 2005 annuals are in black and white. The last two annuals are in full color.
Each annual has a brief biography of the artists and a large number of beautiful photographs of their work. There are hundreds of photos in each annual.
Each annual is about 230 pages. All are hardcover.
Text is in both English and German.
