my pillow cases that pay tribute to the couples associated with the two great iconic modern homes

…at the Four Seasons is tonight, to officially announce the project for the National Trust for Historic Preservation’s Farnsworth House and Philip Johnson’s Glass House, and the various pieces contributed by artists and architects, including my embroidered pillowcases that pay tribute to Edith & Ludwig, and David & Philip.

Modern Views asks contemporary artists, architects and designers to continue one of the 20th century’s great cultural dialogues – the historic exchange reflected in Mies van der Rohe’s Farnsworth House and Philip Johnson’s Glass House. It is a dialogue about vision and precedent, influence and inspiration, theory and practice, intellect and passion.

Modern Views project leadership invited a global slate of participants to create and donate a drawing, model or other work of art, accompanied by a short statement that captures how these two iconic buildings inspire their work. One hundred architects, artists and designers have contributed work representing some of the greatest thinkers in their respective fields.  The donated work will be published in a book by Assouline and will be exhibited in both Chicago and New York.
