Hardcover. Condition: New. Master of the Midcentury: The Architecture of William F. Cody is the first, long-overdue book on this key Palm Springs architect, abundantly illustrated and detailed. Of the architects who made Palm Springs a crucible of midcentury American modernism, William F. Cody (1916-1978) was one of the most prolific, diverse, and iconic. Directing a practice ranging from residences to commercial centers and industrial complexes to master plans, Cody's designs are so recognizable that they provide visual shorthand for what is widely hailed as Desert Modern. While his architecture was disciplined and technically innovative, Cody did not practice an austere modernism; he imbued in his projects a love for social spaces, rich with patterns, texture, color, and art.Though the majority of Cody's built work was concentrated in California and Arizona, he had commissions in other western states, Hawaii, Mexico, Honduras, and Cuba. From icons like the Del Marcos Hotel (1946), to inventive country clubs like the Eldorado (1957), to houses for celebrities (Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, Walt Disney), Cody's projects defined the emerging West Coast lifestyle that combined luxury, leisure, and experimental design. Cody also pushed the boundaries of engineering, with beams and roof slabs so thin that his buildings seemed to defy gravity.Master of the Midcentury is the first monograph devoted to Cody, authored by the team that curated the acclaimed exhibition Fast Forward: The Architecture of William F. Cody at the Architecture and Design Museum in Los Angeles: his daughter, Cathy Cody, design historian Jo Lauria, and architectural historian Don Choi. Replete with photographs of extant and now-lost structures, as well as masterful color renderings and drawings for architectural commissions and plans for vanguard building systems, this book will be the authoritative resource on Cody. Copublished with the venerable Palm Springs Preservation Foundation and timed to coincide with the hugely popular Palm Springs Modernism Week, Master of the Midcentury gives this peerless architect his long-awaited due. BEAUTIFUL COPY!!.…

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - In seiner Serie Noblesse Hybridige mischt der koreanische Künstler Cody Choi Blattwerk aus Rokoko-Gemälden mit Naturmotiven des traditionellen Sagunja-Stils. Er überlagert die Details, druckt sie auf Marmor und fügt dann den letzten Finish mit Öl- und Cashewfarben hinzu, was die Dekorativität der Arbeiten gleichzeitig übertreibt und unterminiert. Diese Inszenierung der Gegensätze hat auch einen biografischen Hintergrund: In Südkorea geboren und aufgewachsen, emigriert Choi Mitte der 1980er Jahre nach Los Angeles, wo er sich mit Konzeptkunst beschäftigt (u. a. bei Mike Kelley). Ein Jahrzehnt später kehrt er in das stark veränderte Seoul zurück. In keiner der beiden Kul- turen fühlt er sich beheimatet, in beiden ist er gut bewandert und inszeniert in seiner Kunst den Mix und die Kollisionen zwischen Ost und West - was ihn bis in den koreanischen Pavillon auf der Venedig-Biennale 2017 führt. In Chois hier dokumentierter Ausstellung in der Pekinger SPURS Gallery umrahmen die Gemälde aus dem Jahr 2020 Arbeiten in anderen Medien: Neon, Collage und Skulptur, darunter eine frei modellierte rosa Bronzevariante von Rodins Denker. In der Hauptgalerie nimmt als Teil der Installation ein junges Paar Performance-Posen im kalibrierten Licht der Scheinwerfer ein - eine weitere global lesbare Facette von Chois vollkommenem Zustand kultureller Hybridität.…
