The Robie House in Chicago is one of the world's most famous houses, a masterpiece from the end of Frank Lloyd Wright's early period and a classic example of the Prairie House. This book is intended as a companion for the visitor to the house, but it also probes beneath the surface to see how the design took shape in the mind of the architect. Wright's own writings, rare working drawings from the period, and previously unpublished photographs of the house in construction help the reader look over the shoulder of the architect at work. Beautiful new photographs of the Robie House and related Wright houses have been specially taken to illustrate the author's points, and a bibliography on Wright is provided.

Bernard Berenson (1865–1959) put the connoisseurship of Renaissance art on a firm footing in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. His monument is the library and collection of Italian painting, Islamic miniatures, and Asian art at Villa I Tatti in Florence. The authors in this collection of essays explore the intellectual world in which Berenson was formed and to which he contributed. Some essays consider his friendship with William James and the background of perceptual psychology that underlay his concept of “tactile values.” Others examine Berenson’s relationships with a variety of cultural figures, ranging from the German-born connoisseur Jean Paul Richter, the German art historian Aby Warburg, the Boston collector Isabella Stewart Gardner, and the American medievalist Arthur Kingsley Porter to the African-American dance icon Katherine Dunham, as well as with Kenneth Clark, Otto Gutekunst, Archer Huntington, Paul Sachs, and Umberto Morra.Bernard Berenson: Formation and Heritage makes an important contribution to the rising interest in the historiography of the discipline of art history in the United States and Europe during its formative years.

A sweeping three-volume exploration of the life and work of the Italian architect Francesco BorrominiOne of the greatest and most idiosyncratic architects of the Roman Baroque, Francesco Borromini (1599–1667), is above all remembered for his major commissions, such as San Carlo alle Quattro Fontane, the Oratorio dei Filippini, Sant’Ivo alla Sapienza, and Sant’Agnese in Agone—spectacular buildings that brilliantly shaped the fabric of the Counter-Reformation city. Over three volumes, Joseph Connors outlines Borromini’s life and buildings, from his youth and early Roman work, his early maturity, his rise to fame, and his mature work, under the patronage of a succession of powerful popes. Connors considers the early biographies of Borromini, the fate of his drawings, reactions to his work, and revivals in his reputation. Themes of the architect and society in seventeenth-century Rome are organized around the architect’s collections of drawings, models, books, natural wonders, antiquities, and his friendships.This elegant and scholarly monograph will form the fundamental basis of all future scholarship in the field. Thoroughly illustrated with archival material and new photography, the book also includes specially commissioned photography by Edward Burtynsky, widely recognized as one of the world’s leading photographers and honoured as Master of Photography at Photo London in 2018, and awarded in 2022 the Outstanding Contribution to Photography by the World Photography Organisation.
