| Opplysninger | Statement of responsibility from page 399.. - With his elegant suits and trademark round black glasses, Philip Johnson - a witty, wealthy, and well-connected architect - was for many years the most powerful figure in the society and politics of his profession. This impressively illustrated book traces his seven decades of larger-than-life influence, innovation, and controversy in the realm of architecture and beyond. Hundreds of images and documents, many published here for the first time, trace the remarkable life and career of a true legend.0The book draws on The Philip Johnson Papers at the Museum of Modern Art and the Getty Research Institute, which have provided unprecedented access to clippings, unpublished statements, speeches, reviews, and commentaries on Johnson?s architectural projects and photographs, together with his wide-ranging correspondence.
