Abrams, on a series of books which included Waddesdon Manor : The Heritage of a Rothschild House, a one-year study of Ferdinand de Rothschild’s Waddesdon Manor, Gold Without Boundaries, featuring sculpture and gold work for Daniel Brush. The Cycladic Spirit, highlighting the art and landscape of the Greek Cycladic period, based on the Goulandris Collection in Athens, and The White House Collection of American Crafts with Hillary Clinton.
