The final section of the book concentrates on the diverse range of objects, from ceramics to furniture, glass to posters, which were influenced by the movement and analyses the new production techniques that were developed by artists during the period.

For its countless enthusiasts, this book, part of the Pavilion series on Christie's collectables, contributes new knowledge to an increasingly popular market.
