What is Icons : Magnets of Meaning about?
Accompanies Betsky's first exhibition as curator of architecture and design at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, April to August 1997. Positing that icons are objects of everyday use that contain a universe of associations in their simple but dense abstraction, he presents modernist artifacts of the designed environment, mostly commercial products. Full-page, high quality color photographs comprise about half of the book. No index. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
