DR1990:0063:001-046
Description:
- This album contains presentation drawings and transfer lithographs of lustres and furniture designs for the Mikhailovsky Palace in Leningrad. The first 18 transfer lithographs and drawings are for lustres with varying numbers of candles (one per page). The room location for many of the lustres is inscribed in graphite at the bottom of the sheet. Two rectangular flaps attached to the t. and l.r. of page DR1990:0063:005 can be raised to reveal alternate gouache and wash designs. Page DR1990:0063:011 also has an alternate design in watercolour or gouache where a flap was previously attached. Drawings DR1990:063:020 - DR1990:0063:046 have several designs for furniture per sheet. The numbers in graphite on many of the furniture and lustre drawings probably refers to the room where they were to be located. On three sheets of furniture designs the ornament is rendered in yellow watercolour, probably indicating a proposed construction in bronze, gilded bronze, or carved and gilt wood in imitation of bronze (DR1990:063:020 - DR1990:0063:021, and DR1990:0063:046). There are no other indications of the materials for the furniture. All of the drawings for lustres and furniture show the forms, decoration, and iconography typical of Empire and Restoration style design.

Description:
This project series documents House IV, an unexecuted project designed for unknown clients in Falls Village, Connecticut. Materials in this file were produced in 1970 and 1971. Documents include fifty-eight conceptual drawings (files: DR1994:0132:001-058) and presentation plans that show the internal organization of the house. Although never realized, House IV was extensively published, particularly as a series of axonometrics showing the transformations of the original cube. Some of the files documenting this are a set of axonometric drawings (DR1994:0132:120-184) and copies mounted on board (DR1994:0132:185-198). Other files, including files of photographic materials, document the layout of these drawings for publication. Also included are studies for exterior and interior elevations and silhouettes painted on mylar (DR1994:0132:214-230). Conceptual drawings and design development drawings include plans, elevations, and axonometrics. Presentation/publication drawings also include plans, elevations, sections, and axonometrics. Also included in this project series is a completed model.
