MULLER, Renate. Toys+Design.

(New York, NY): Whitehaus Media Group, 2011. First edition. Hardcover. 22.2cm by 29.3cm. 76 pages. Issued in conjunction with Müller’s first solo exhibition at R 20th Century in New York, this volume documents her unique contribution to mid- to late-20th-century toy and therapeutic design. The book presents the remarkable stuffed toy sculptures and objects conceived by Renate Müller in the 1960s through the 1990s. The toys were originally designed to aid orthopedic exercise and balance coordination in children with physical and developmental disabilities but have since become prized by collectors and design enthusiasts worldwide for their organic vitality and enduring charm. A very good copy in photo-illustrated boards.
