Dutch decortative arts of the Art Nouveau and Art Deco periods are much in demand throughout the world. Yet, with the exception of Gerrit Rietveld and H.P.Berlage, Dutch designers of the period are relatively unknown outside the Netherlands. This book is a valuable reference work for collectors, dealers and auction houses as well as enthusiasts of the period.
The first part of the book covers schools and movements. The Nieuwe Kunst, the Amsterdam School, De Stijl, The Hague School and Functionalism. The second part has a directory of modern Dutch architects, designers, manufacturers, craftsmen, artistic schools and institutes.
