Johann Philipp Ferdinand Preiss (1892-1943), based in Berlin, was the most prolific sculptor of the Art Deco period in Germany. He combined ivory, bronze, onyx and marble to create the most dazzling sculptures of his day, accurately reflecting his times. No one in his period surpassed him in the art of ivory carving. This book, the only work devoted entirely to this subject, follows the development of ivory carving in Germany, which was concentrated in Erbach. It is a comprehensive look at the life and work of its most talented and prestigious offspring, the most important Art Deco sculptor in Germany in between the wars.
