Featuring assessments of architectural examples ranging from Mies van der Rohe’s Seagram Building to Elvis Presley’s Graceland estate, as well as vintage photographs, advertisements, and posters, this book argues that new audiences and client groups with tastes rooted in popular entertainment made their presence felt in the cultural marketplace during the postwar period.

Résumé:
The desert is a huge paradox. Beneath its outward appearance of immensity and silence, are the sounds of various experiments, mysteries, and utopias. The setting of outrageous true histories, entertainment oases founded on consumerism and play, and the secret staging of military power, the desert is far from empty. Instead, it is full of activity: unexpected, uninhibited, and excessive. Not subject to barriers and seemingly free of the formal, ideological or cultural ties of global society, the desert cultivates alternate architectures, urbanisms, and built phenomena. Through photographs, essays, and history, this book emerges as an exploration of some of these phenomena and the protagonists that made them possible.

The drawings, which are always printed within publications and never exhibited on their own, explore the distinctions between high and low culture, art and entertainment, and critical and commercial art. In addition to previously published cartoons, Ü includes a large number of drawings made specifically for it. The mixture of styles, and general interest with art-world topics, is the result of Westphalen's exploration of the overlap between the terms 'joke', 'cartoon', and 'art'." With a conversation between the artist and Dan Graham.

Though he was widely celebrated beyond his own lifetime for his invention of the daguerreotype, it was his origins as a theatrical designer and purveyor of visual entertainment that paved the way for Daguerre's emergence as one of the world's most iconic imagemakers. In "Speculating Daguerre," Stephen C. Pinson reinterprets the story of the man and his time, painting a vivid picture of Daguerre as an innovative artist and savvy impresario whose eventual fame as a photographer eclipsed everything that had come before.
