Join Glass House Deputy Director Scott Drevnig & Coloring Book Illustrator, David Wallace Crotty for a fun discussion on the Glass House and how to translate a midcentury modern home into book form.

Experience the iconic Glass House, Philip Johnson’s modernist home in New Canaan, Connecticut, in a fun new way in The Glass House Coloring Book. Three dozen black-and-white illustrations capture the architectural highlights of Johnson’s visionary midcentury glass-and-steel pavilion, which ushered the International Style into residential American architecture. Each illustration is accompanied by the photograph that inspired it, along with caption information detailing its historical and aesthetic significance. Landscape and design elements include furniture by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, the chain link Ghost House, and the skylit Sculpture Gallery. This book has a foreword by Paul Goldberger and a cover by artist Vik Muniz. Fascinating to read and relaxing to color for all. It is 96 pages for all ages.

A book signing will immediately following this presentation.
