This book creates the context for an exhibition of the work of Gideon Kramer at CoCA's Ballard Gallery in April of 2010. Weaved around the story of his life-long relationship with his wife Ruth, the exhibition touches on all aspects of Gideon's work as a visionary designer, artist, inventor, teacher, builder, lecturer, and businessman. The book expands the story with 24 additional articles or 'commentaries' dealing with the issues covered in the exhibition.
