FUNGI: THE WORLD OF MUSHROOMS (HB)

This beautifully illustrated book celebrates the role of mushrooms and fungi in visual culture. Readers will discover more than 200 full-page images arranged into artful pairings: a pre-Columbian gold pendant and a Tiffany Studios glass table lamp; a Hermes scarf and a sixteenth-century botanical illustration; a Yayoi Kusama painting and a plastic figurine of the Nintendo character Toad. Work by Marc Chagall, Hilma af Klint, Andy Warhol, and Takashi Murakami appear alongside ancient Roman frescoes, drawings by pioneering mycologists, iconic children’s picture books, classic films, and vintage ceramicware.
