For decades, artists and photographers have used the Glass House--architect Phillip Johnson's landmark home in New Canaan, Connecticut--as inspiration for works of art. Now, with THE GLASS HOUSE COLORING BOOK, we can all do the same. With 36 black-and-white drawings by David Crotty, an introduction by Pulitzer Prize-winning architecture critic Paul Goldberger, and cover art by Vik Muniz, the 96-page softcover presents Johnson's home in ways that invite creative exploration and reinterpretation. Now owned and operated by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, the Glass House is a 49-acre landscape that comprises 14 architecturally diverse structures built between 1949 and 1995. In addition to Johnson's glass-and-steel residence (1949), the coloring book's perforated pages include illustrations of the compound's chain-link Ghost House; the skylit Sculpture Gallery; the stone-walled "doghouse"; and interior furnishings designed by Mies van der Rohe. Conceived by Scott Drevnig, deputy director of the Glass House, the pages of the THE GLASS HOUSE COLORING BOOK provide dozens of opportunities for exploration, experimentation, and delight. For decades, artists and photographers have used the Glass House--architect Phillip Johnson's landmark home in New Canaan, Connecticut--as inspiration for works of art. Now, with THE GLASS HOUSE COLORING BOOK, we can all do the same, and make the Glass House a canvas of our own. With 36 black-and-white drawings by David Crotty, an illuminating introduction by Pulitzer Prize-winning architecture critic Paul Goldberger, and cover art by Vik Muniz, the sophisticated 96-page softcover presents Johnson's home in ways that invite creative exploration and reinterpretation. As a historic site now owned and operated by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, the Glass House is a pastoral 49-acre landscape that comprises 14 architecturally diverse structures built between 1949 and 1995. In addition to Johnson's groundbreaking glass-and-steel residence (1949), the coloring book includes drawings of the compound's chain-link Ghost House; the skylit Sculpture Gallery; the stone-walled "doghouse"; and a collection of architect-designed furniture, including iconic pieces by Mies van der Rohe. Conceived by Scott Drevnig, deputy director of the Glass House, THE GLASS HOUSE COLORING BOOK--like the compound itself--serves as a canvas for exploration, experimentation, and delight.
