About the book

"Off the Wall is a visual survey of wallpapers of the past one hundred years, from gentle florals to exotic travel themes to merry nursery rhyme murals to Op art fantasias. Discerning text and captions complement more than 100 stunning reproductions of classic and unique wallpapers, many selected from the Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum, Smithsonian Institution. This nostalgia-packed tribute to wall adornment celebrates a mainstay of the American home that has achieved its rightful place within the ranks of high art."--Jacket.
