Confessions of a connoisseur Insiders' tips: discover the world of design with the help of thirtytwo international experts and learn why the most valuable furniture is not what you think it is Adam Lindemanns second volume is the followup to Collecting Contemporary, an unprecedented success, introducing the lay reader to collecting contemporary art, with tellall interviews by the biggest players in the global art market. The idea for this volume came when he was furnishing his new house. "Art collectors like myself who hung beautiful contemporary paintings on their walls suddenly saw their furniture look sad and tired," Lindemann writes in his preface, relating how hobby became passion and an overwhelming desire to know everything. Which is how this latest volume manages to give such a perfect introduction into collectible design: it follows the path its author took.Todays design market has its roots in the late eighteenth century: artists created porcelain pieces in editions that became in high demand. From Art Deco to the Wiener Werksttte, Bauhaus to the Eameses, the French modernists, and a whole bunch of designers many havent heard of yet, this volume is the best guide to the collectability and overall desirability of design for connoisseurs and amateurs alike.Collecting Design tells all about an addictive occupation, vintage pieces vs. limited editions, the big names and what to keep an eye on, all from the perspective of a passionate collector meeting market luminaries for indepth conversationshis fellow collectors (Bruno Bischofberger, Michael Boyd, Peter M.

I hope you will enjoy and profit from this fascinating field as much as I have."
