Interesting piece on the crossover of mass production and the Finish Fetish Artist of the 1960's

The L.A. Look from Start to Finish

“Interviews with the Finish Fetish artists have given invaluable technical information on the wide range of materials and fabrication processes that they used, as well as a fascinating insight into their creative processes and intent. Through these descriptions, emerges a sense that there is an incredible amount of craftsmanship, time-consuming labor and manual dexterity behind the making of these works, even though their impeccable finish may evoke mass-produced objects.”
