Marden has continued to make marble paintings since that time. This volume commemorates an exhibition of the artist’s marble paintings presented at Gagosian, Athens, in 2020. To complement the marbles, Marden selected a small group of ink drawings on paper and a six-panel painting. Together with full views and details of individual works, this volume features installation photography and a new essay by Dimitrios Antonitsis, in English and Greek, that considers the marble paintings in the context of the artist’s long connection to Hydra.

Summary:
Robert A. M. Stern is dedicated to the synthesis of tradition and innovation. In more than thirty-five years of practice, he has produced a wide range of building types with a variety of stylistic influences, all inspired by the great legacy of American architecture. His firm, Robert A. M. Stern architects, was first recognized for its distinguished houses, and residential design remains the cornerstone of the practice. This illustrated monograph-a companion to "Robert A. M. Stern: houses"- presents twenty-six of the firm's most memorable houses. Located in diverse settings across North America-from a valley in Colorado with views of the Aspen mountains to a bluff overlooking Long Island Sound to an island off the coast of British Columbia-these houses reveal the architect's emphasis on the importance of context and his dedication to exploring the nature of space. Each house invokes the vernacular architectural heritage particular to its region while reflecting its unique natural surroundings. Whether they are Shingle style "cottages" by the sea, colonial Georgian country estates, or elegant Regency designs, Stern's houses are unique both for their timelessness and their ability to evoke a conversation with the past-a dialogue he believes lies at the heart of architecture.

Price:

(available to order)
Summary:
The Hamptons, New York's fashionable summer beach resorts, are well known as weekend havens for city-dwellers who relish their idyllic setting on the Atlantic shore. Once quiet agricultural land, Eastern Long Island first became popular among artists, architects, writers, and society patrons in the 1920s, when it served as a breeding ground for modernism. From the avant-garde influence of luminaries like Jackson Pollock, Robert Motherwell, and Willem de Kooning, to the high modernism of Le Corbusier, Philip Johnson, and Richard Meier, new ideas about art, architecture, and modern living transformed the Hamptons and ultimately made it the destination of choice for those seeking respite from the battles of Wall Street and Madison Avenue. In "Weekend Utopia" Alastair Gordon traces this fascinating and complicated trajectory, both in architectural terms--looking at modest beach houses and modern mansions alike--and in the life stories of the world-famous artists and designers, whose influence is felt on "The Island" even today. Over 175 photographs and illustrations detail the architecture, interiors, and nuances of these beautiful weekend homes, and provide an intimate portrait of the people who inhabit them. This book combines architectural history with a broad social perspective and paints a comprehensive picture of an area that in many ways shaped modern American culture.

Summary:
In 2006 fifteen suburban municipalities of Montreal partially regained the autonomy they lost during the 2002 mergers. The fact that most of these were affluent suburbs did not go unnoticed. Supporters of the "one island, one city" project saw the demerged municipalities as fiscal and linguistic enclaves refusing integration into the wider metropolitan community, but for merger opponents they represented the last political institutions of Quebec's anglophone community, with long-established local identities and distinct political cultures. Harold Bérubé studies three of these "distinct societies" - Westmount, Pointe-Claire, and Town of Mount Royal - between the end of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the Second World War, demonstrating that they were the stage for a distinctive form of suburban governance, rooted in the search for socioeconomic distinction in a quickly changing metropolitan environment.

They are unassuming dwellings whose architecture moves easily to the background, supporting comfortable furniture, works of art from a variety of periods and styles, and the plantings and outdoor spaces that are essential to the composition. These houses display grace and style inside and out. They invite a full range of activities from formal to informal, from celebration to repose, from a solitary existence to a house full of children or guests. These houses have good places to read a book or write a letter, to take a nap, and to cook and eat with family and friends.

Summary:
Set amid the imperial extravagances of the American Renaissance to the Roaring Twenties (1890-1935), an era redolent with the well-publicized achievements of such famed designers as Stanford White, Richard Morris Hunt, Carrère & Hastings, and John Russell Pope, it astounds one to learn that the one authentic genius among them was a publicity-shy Philadelphian without any kind of social connections whose formal education did not extend beyond the 10th grade. Yet the supremacy of Horace Trumbauer in the field of classically-inspired residential design is acknowledged by such diverse voices as art connoisseur Joseph Duveen, modernist icon Philip Johnson, and author Aldous Huxley. "American Splendor: The Residential Architecture of Horace Trumbauer," will place the achievements of this master creator of the American Great House before a wider and more discerning public. Working with clients whose names comprise a veritable who's who of America's industrial and financial moguls, Trumbauer's prodigious body of work graced both the exclusive enclaves of Newport, Rhode Island, Long Island, Philadelphia's Main Line and Elkins Park, and the vaunted precincts of New York's Fifth Avenue and Washington DC's Embassy Row. Allied with the finest landscape designers and interior decorators of his time, Trumbauer's elegant mansions represent the ultimate expression of a nation's ambition for grandeur and supremacy since those of the Italian Renaissance. Devoid of any wish for personal fame or artistic recognition, he hoped that his work would ultimately speak for itself. As "American Splendor: The Residential Architecture of Horace Trumbauer" demonstrates, it most certainly and eloquently does. In this first monograph on Horace Trumbauer, American Splendor introduces the genius of this American master architect to the world.

Summary:
A widely connected pioneer of Pop and mail art, Ray Johnson was described as ''New York’s most famous unknown artist.'' Best known for his dense, allusive collages, he stopped exhibiting in 1991, but his output did not diminish. Between 1992 and 1994, using 137 disposable cameras, he created a large body of work that is only now coming to light. Staging his artworks in settings near his home in Locust Valley, Long Island — parking lots, sidewalks, beaches, cemeteries — Johnson made photographs that make the world of everyday ''real life'' a part of his art. Within a few months, he devised a large new freestanding format for the simplified collages he began calling the ''movie stars'' of his camera tableaux. When he swam to his death at sea on 13 January 1995, Johnson left behind a vast archive that included over three thousand of the late photographs. What he called his ''new career as a photographer,'' which makes its debut in print here, marked the close of a romance with the camera that had spanned four decades of relentless invention.
