Art of the Celts: 700 BC to AD 700

by Felix Muller

Although ostensibly an exhibition catalogue, this beautifully produced volume serves admirably as a considered exploration of the history, art and archaeology of the Celts in its own right. Well over half of the book is occupied by an extended essay which places Celtic art in its context, outlining stylistic and symbolic developments alongside a narrative of socio-economic and political change. The catalogue contains only 40 pieces, but each is a genuine masterpiece, and all are used to develop broader points on style, technique and context. The volume is rounded off with a pattern book of 101 common motifs in Celtic art. 303p col illus t/out (Mercartorfonds 2009)
