Art + Architecture: The Ebsworth Collection + Residence. by OLSON. Ngo, Dung and Franklin Kelly. : William Stout Architectural Books : Books on architecture, art, urban planning, graphic and industrial design, furniture and interior design, and landscape architecture.

This ground-breaking volume invites the reader into the elegant Seattle home of influential collector Barney A. Ebsworth, who owns one of the most important private collections of modern American art. The house was designed specifically for the collection, which includes seminal paintings and sculptures by Hopper, de Kooning, Pollock, O'Keefe, Johns, Hockney and Calder, among many others. Art + Architecture is one of the first examinations ever of how a top-flight collector works with an architecture firm-in this case, Olson Sundberg Kundig Allen -which understands the alchemy that allows a great work of art to exist independently in a room, and still allow the residents to live life around it. This gorgeous book includes photos of the art in the home and also beautiful color reproductions of each piece. With an essay by Franklin Kelly, curator of British and American art at the National Gallery. A must for both architecture and art aficionados.
