About This Item
Boston: Bulfinch Press, 2002. Cloth, 330 pages, illustrations (some colour); 35 cm. Firm binding, clean inside copy. Stated First Edition. Dust jacket protected in a mylar book cover. OVERSIZE! No priority/air, except by special arrangement. A lavish monograph on the American architect who helped to codify the International Style in architecture and, later, post-modernism. "With a foreword by Johnson himself, an essay by his biographer Hilary Lewis, and nearly 400 color and black-and-white photographs accompanied by detailed building descriptions presented in chronological order, this is the book on Philip Johnson's architecture. The photographs were taken by Richard Payne, one of Johnson's personal photographers, who set out to document all extant buildings designed by this most celebrated visionary. Johnson has produced a life's work full of surprises and groundbreaking ideas that have shaped the way we live, work, and play, from the sculpture garden at New York's Museum of Modern Art to his famous Glass House in New Canaan, Connecticut. This oversized volume will appeal to anyone interested in architecture of the twentieth century." - Publisher.. 1st. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. Illus. by Payne, Richard (Photography by). Folio. Collectible.
