Hardcover natural history book by Hugh and Marguerite Stix with R. Tucker Abbott, published in 1973. First edition, 135 pages.
An extraordinary survey of seashells as sculptural forms, this volume traces 500 million years of organic architecture, spiny, spiraled, striped, and startlingly refined. Collected from across the globe and photographed with studio clarity by H. Landshoff, each specimen is presented like a design object: delicate, otherworldly, and impossibly engineered.
“Aspired to beauty, inspired by nature, these are among the most bizarre, colorful, and beguiling objects on earth.”
