JOHN DERIAN PICTURE BOOK (ARTISAN)

John Derian's home goods empire reaches far and wide-in addition to his own stores in New York and Massachussetts, his products are sold by more than 600 retailers worldwide. It all started nearly 30 years ago with his now-iconic collectible plates decoupaged with 19th-century artwork sourced from old and rare books. From intensely coloured flowers and birds to curious portraits, hand-drawn letters, and breathtaking landscapes, the best of John Derian is here in this oversized object of desire, a work of art in and of itself, that brilliantly walks the line between commerce and art.
