Philip Johnson (Studio Paperback)

by Peter Blake

Philip Johnson, born in 1906, has done much to shape the architecture of this century, both through his buildings and his architectural criticism. Legendary is his influential 1932 "The International Style" exhibition for the New York Museum of Modern Art. Among the most renowned buildings from Johnson's extensive oeuvre - over 200 built works are to his credit - are the Glass House and the New York City AT&T skyscraper. In 1979, he received the Pritzker Prize. This monograph offers a comprehensive survey of Johnson's work.
