At its best Zimmermann's work is beguiling and exhilarating exploring a wide range of innovative approaches to pattern material and surface. The diversity of her oeuvre including work in gold silver bronze copper and iron is as astonishing as the boldness of the life she led. This book gathers for the first time the story of Zimmermann's life and work and puts a spotlight on one of the most singular makers of metalwork active in early-20th-century America. Essays by leading scholars in the decorative arts offer extensive new research on Zimmermann and her work while more than 500 gorgeous full-color images show the breadth and novelty of her design practice.
