Description from the seller
Eileen Gray: Designer and architect 1878-1976
Monograph edited by Philippe Garner
Eileen Gray (1878-1976) is today widely recognized as a designer of remarkable talent and personality. Initially she excelled in the refined craft of lacquer, creating screens, panels, furniture and objects of great technical virtuosity and poetic force. Eileen Gray then developed an interest in architecture, designing two houses, "E-1027" (completed in 1929) and "Tempe a Pailla" (completed in 1934) in the south of France, seminal examples of the spirit of the Modern Movement. This book analyzes and illustrates the full range of her furniture, interiors and completed architectural projects.
Philippe Garner was the director of Sotheby's in London. He was interested in various aspects of the decorative arts, design, fashion, and the history of photography. He has written numerous books, including a biography of Emile Gallé (1976), and has published articles, essays, and research in various magazines, including The Connoisseur, Harper's & Queen, House & Garden. He developed an interest in the work of Eileen Gray in 1970, meeting her in 1972.
