LTN Winter 2021 Newsletter
THE LUTYENS TRUST To protect and promote the spirit and substance of the work of Sir Edwin Lutyens O.M. NEWSLETTER WINTER 2021 A REVIEW OF NEW BOOK ARTS & CRAFTS CHURCHES BY ALEC HAMILTON By Ashley Courtney It’s hard to believe this is the first book devoted to Arts and Crafts churches in the UK, but then perhaps a definition of these isn’t easy, making them hard to categorise? Alec Hamilton’s book, published by Lund Humphries – whose cover features a glorious image of St Andrew’s Church in Sunderland, of 1905 to 1907, designed by Albert Randall Wells and Edward Schroeder Prior – is split into two parts. The first, comprising an introduction and three chapters, attempts a definition, placing this genre in its architectural, social and religious contexts, circa 1900. The second, larger section divides the UK into 14 regions, and shows the best examples in each one; it also includes useful vignettes on artists and architects of importance. For the author, there is no hard- and-fast definition of an Arts and Crafts church, but he makes several attempts, including one that states: “It has to be built in or after 1884, the founding date of the Art Workers’ Guild”. He does get into a bit of a pickle, however, but bear with it as there is much to learn. For example, I did not know about the splintering of established religion, the Church of England, into a multitude of Nonconformist explorations. Added to that were the social missions whose goal was to improve the lot of the impoverished; here social space and church overlapped and adherents of the missions, such as CR Ashbee, taught Arts and Crafts skills. -

Moral Rights: The Anti-Rebellion Graffiti Heritage of 5Pointz Richard Chused* INTRODUCTION Graffiti has blossomed into far more than spray-painted tags and quickly vanishing pieces on abandoned buildings, trains, subway cars, and remote underpasses painted by rebellious urbanites. In some quarters, it has become high art. Works by acclaimed street artists Shepard Fairey, Jean-Michel Basquiat,2 and Banksy,3 among many others, are now highly prized. Though Banksy has consistently refused to sell his work and objected to others doing so, works of other * Professor of Law, New York Law School.

Landmarks Preservation Commission January 13, 2009, Designation List 409 LP-2286
Landmarks Preservation Commission January 13, 2009, Designation List 409 LP-2286 275 MADISON AVENUE BUILDING, originally 22 East 40th Street Building (aka 273-277 Madison Avenue; 22-26 East 40th Street), Borough of Manhattan. Built 1930-31; Kenneth Franzheim, architect. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 869, Lot 54. On June 24, 2008, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the 275 Madison Avenue Building and the proposed designation of its related Landmark Site (Item No. 2). The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Three people, including a representative of the building’s owner and representatives of the Historic Districts Council and the Municipal Art Society, spoke in favor of designation. Summary Rising 43 stories in height and completed in 1931, 275 Madison Avenue is an outstanding Art Deco skyscraper dating from the end of New York’s 1920s and early-1930s skyscraper boom. Designed by noted architect Kenneth Franzheim, the building features a striking polished-granite base; three stories high with tall rectangular openings, it was treated by Franzheim as a “stage setting” with a compelling black-and-silver color scheme and rich abstract ornament. Rising above the base is a dramatically massed, slab-form tower that steps back repeatedly before narrowing to a nearly square plan at its upper floors. Like the nearby Daily News Building completed the year before, 275 Madison is best described as a transitional work, bridging the exuberant, “modernistic” Art Deco style and the spare, sculptural qualities of the International Style. -

Originally formed by Pierpont Morgan (1837– T1913), the permanent collection records and reflects achievements of European and American literature, music, art, and history. The Morgan is one of the very few institutions in the United States that collects, exhibits, and sponsors research in the areas of illuminated manuscripts, master drawings, rare books, fine bindings, and literary, historical, and music manuscripts. To realize its purpose, The Morgan Library & Museum has four goals: to function as a center and source for research and publication in the permanent collection and to promote its scholarly study; to preserve and care for the collection that is held in trust for the American people; to acquire, through purchase and gift, significant works in the fields established by Pierpont Morgan; to present the collection, related exhibitions, and interpretive programming to the general public, students, collectors, and scholars in a manner consistent with the highest educational and artistic standards. The significance of the collection mandates a national and international role for the institution, both as an educational resource for the general public and as a research center for the scholarly community. -
Elegance in the Sky: the Architecture of Rosario Candela at the Museum of the City of New York
For Immediate Release Elegance in the Sky: The Architecture of Rosario Candela at the Museum of the City of New York Samuel H. Gottscho, "960 Fifth Avenue. Dining room," 1930. Museum of the City of New York, Gottscho-Schleisner Collection, 88.1.1.1012 Exhibition Explores Renowned Architect Who Played a Major Role in Defining Luxury Living in Early 20th Century Manhattan On View: Thursday, May 17–Sunday, October 28, 2018 (New York, NY) On Thursday, May 17, 2018, the Museum of the City of New York will open Elegance in the Sky: The Architecture of Rosario Candela, an exhibition exploring the legacy of renowned architect Rosario Candela (1890–1953), who played a major role in transforming and shaping luxury living of 20th century Manhattan with the design of the distinctive “prewar” apartment buildings that define the cityscapes of iconic streets such as Park and Fifth Avenues and Sutton Place. Candela’s elegant yet understated high-rises, including 960 Fifth Avenue, 740 Park Avenue, and One Sutton Place South, featured set-back terraces and neo-Georgian and Art Deco ornament that created the look of New York urbanism between the World Wars. The exhibition is designed by Peter Pennoyer Architects. Graphic design is by Tsang Seymour. Elegance in the Sky tells the remarkable story of how Rosario Candela, an immigrant architect, made a permanent name for himself by becoming an influential force in transforming the way the wealthiest in New York City lived. Through photographs, ephemera, graphics, furnishings, and digital animation, the exhibition displays how Candela and his colleagues inspired some of the most prominent New Yorkers to move from their private homes to “luxury mansions in the sky,” thus changing the landscape of the city. -
The Olana Partnership Announces Summer Exhibition “Follies
PO Box 199 Hudson, NY 12534-0199 518-828-1872 www.olana.org FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE JUNE 20, 2016 The Olana Partnership Announces Summer Exhibition “Follies, Function & Form: Imagining Olana’s Summer House” An exhibition showcasing original concept sketches by 21 architects and landscape architects, inspired by Frederic Church’s OLANA June 20th, 2016, New York, NY: The Olana Partnership, in collaboration with the New York chapters of the American Institute of Architects (AIANY) and the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA-NY), is pleased to announce a design exhibition at Olana State Historic Site in Hudson, New York. Titled Follies, Function & Form: Imagining Olana’s Summer House, the exhibition unites noted architects and landscape architects and is curated by The Olana Partnership with guest co-curator Jane Smith, AIA, of Spacesmith. The exhibition addresses one of the great mysteries at Olana -- the Summer House – and it runs from August 14th through November 13th, 2016 in Olana’s Coachman’s House Gallery. Olana is the 250-acre creation of American landscape artist Frederic Church and exists in the birthplace of America’s first native art movement, the Hudson River School. Considered Frederic Church’s great masterpiece, Olana combines art, architecture, design and conservation ideals. In the 1886 “Plan of Olana,” a detailed blueprint of Church’s vision for his large-scale designed landscape, the plan’s details are largely accurate, yet it contains a structure labeled “Summer House”, which doesn’t exist today. Lacking documentary evidence to demonstrate the design and style of this structure, 21 architects and landscape architects were invited to participate in public interpretation at Olana. -

To Whom it may concern ISO Test methods for cigarette tar and nicotine content are outdated and unrepresentative of the actual yield and toxins intake due to smoker compensation - Countries should adopt the Health Canada Intense test method, like RIVM Holland The old and outdated ISO test criteria for cigarette tar and nicotine content used by the HK Government Lab is way out of date. The industry deliberately perforates the filter and paper of the tobacco rods with tiny holes to ‘cheat’ the current ISO machine test methods. What actually happens is the smokers wrap their fingers and of course mouth around the filter to compensate for the additional dilution air being sucked in through the perforations. The ISO smoking test machine is not real world, does not compensate by blocking the holes and hence reveals test results that are far, far lower than the smokers actually inhale. RIVM, the Dutch Ministry of Health, has adopted the Health Canada Intense smoking test criteria which better reveals the actual tar and nicotine in each cigarette rod since they tape over the perforated holes in the same way that the smoker compensates with fingers and mouth, to seal the holes - and then test the actual values. Attached herewith you can see the vast disparities as revealed in the RIVM test data which show the level of toxics which the smokers actually inhale versus the mythical ISO data preferred and provided by the manufacturers. Countries Kong need to switch to the Health Canada Intense method of cigarette testing asap and inform the public accordingly of the actual level of toxins they inhale when they smoke cigarettes.
