About this book

American Vernacular: New Discoveries in Folk, Self-Taught, and Outsider Sculptures by Maresca, Frank. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780821227800.

This groundbreaking book, the most comprehensive survey ever assembled, takes Americas rich heritage of vernacular art out of the antiques arena and the specialty museum and into todays art world. AMERICAN VERNACULAR presents hundreds of newly identified and never-before-published objects, from carnival figures to religious totems, from antique trade signs to spectacular examples of hand-carved canes. The book reveals the powerful strains of imagination that have shaped the American visual landscape and continue to nourish cutting-edge artists today.
