Lautner

For more than fifty years, John Lautner wrestled with the jarring commercialism and transitory infatuations of Los Angeles. Unfortunately, most of his work comprises private homes that are rarely accessible, though several have been featured prominently in Hollywood movies, the industry to which Lautner catered his complex non-linear residential spaces, i.e., "Chemosphere" and "Silvertop." This monograph surveys twenty-one of Lautner's residences. Life & Work, Bibliography, Color/b&w photography; plans. 96p.
