Philip Johnson, Good and Bad- It's All Here

Philip Johnson, the most famous, influential and important architect of Post-War America gets here what he deserves: a monumental opus, gorgeously designed and filled with magnificent color photographs that surveys each and every one of the extant buildings designed by the "dean" of American architecture. From the Glass House (1949) to Trump Place (2001), this book works as a virtual catalogue raisonne of the work of Philip Johnson, reassessing a career that saw powerful masterpieces and dull, uninspired services to real estate tycoons but never went unnoticed. The texts are simple and short, the emphasis being on the newly-commissioned photographs. Although an act of love sanctioned by Johnson himself (who chose the ruined World Fair Building for the cover), the book is not adulatory- Johnson's critics' sharp words on certain polemic buildings are included here. As the publisher states in the flapcover, "This is *the* book on Philip Johnson's architecture".
