Second-Hand Style: Finding And Renewing Antique Treasures by Paris-based professional jewelry designer cRis Dupouy (whose work has been commissioned by such noted patrons as the Musee de l'Opera and the Musee des Arts Decoratifs, as well as many Parisian fashion designers) is an unexpectedly beautiful and varied photographic journey of the wonders that can be accomplished by cleaning out one's attic and sprucing up the hidden treasures within. Some directions are included for readers who wish to make similar creations to the wonders depicted within, but the true joy of Second-Hand Style lies in its brilliant, full-color photography of some truly splendid and inspirational creations. Second-Hand Style is a heartily recommended addition to personal, professional, and community library reference collections.

I had never even heard of Wolf Kahn until I saw this book at a local store. I looked through it fell in love with the art and had to have it. I recieved the book as a present(ordered from amazon--saved 15 bucks or so) and loved it. It has great info on Kahns life and comments on style, use of color etc. But what really makes this book great are the pages and pages of paintings. What makes most art books truly great(to me at least) is a lot of high quality color photos of the artists work to go along with some insightful commentary. This has many. From his early works up to as recent as 1995 paintings I would recommend this book to anyone who likes the painting on the cover. If you like that you will not be disappointed
