About This Item
Philadelphia: University of Pennsylvania Press, 2010. Hardcover. VG (Former owner signature on first page; SIGNED BY EDITOR on half tp.). Cantaloupe-colored stamped cloth, color illus. embossed dust jacket, 183 pp., many color illus. "Located near Palm Springs, California, in a community known as Rancho Mirage, Sunnylands was built in the early 1960s by Walter and Leonore Annenberg, two of America's leading philanthropists. Envisioned by noted California architect A. Quincy Jones and the renowned interior design team of William Haines and Ted Graber, the estate has come to be regarded as an icon of midcentury modernism. ... [This book] tells the story of the celebrated home -- how it came to be commissioned, details of its design and construction, acquisition of the extensive collections of art and objects, changes over the years -- and includes comments by noted guests. A foreword by Kathleen Hall Jamieson positions Sunnylands within its geographical and social setting, and an afterword by the late Anne d'Harnoncourt provides a firsthand account of what being there was like. New photographs and drawings commissioned especially for the book expand upon archival plans and photographs to complete this richly detailed portrait of an extraordinary place." (dj) This copy is SIGNED BY THE EDITOR on the half title page.
