Marilyn Monroe statuettes, Venus salt-and-pepper shakers, plastic Jesuses, and brides and grooms rescued from the tops of wedding useless kitsch or important cultural artifacts? The answer depends on your tastes and tendencies. But readers of both camps will find much to ponder in this celebration of the highlights (and low-lights) from the Museum of Corn-temporary Art.

The first volume of this comprehensive history explores the evolution of design across cultures and time, providing insights into the influences that shaped global design practices. Authored by renowned scholar Victor Margolin, it delves into the social, political, and cultural contexts that have impacted design, offering a rich narrative that highlights significant movements and figures in the field. This work serves as an essential resource for understanding the interconnectedness of design and history on a worldwide scale.
