  • 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.

  • A House in the Country PETER PENNOYER KATIE RIDDER with ANNE WALKER PHOTOGRAPHY by ERIC PIASECKI
    A House in the Country PETER PENNOYER KATIE RIDDER WITH ANNE WALKER PHOTOGRAPHY BY ERIC PIASECKI fter decades of building and designing houses and interiors for clients around the world, renowned architect Peter Pennoyer and highly A sought-after interior decorator Katie Ridder decided they were ready to build their own dream house. They spent years looking for the per- fect property and in 2009 came upon a narrow, overgrown six-and-a-half- acre parcel of land with a ranch house in Millbrook, New York. Over the next few years, Peter and Katie transformed the property, honoring Millbrook’s history of nature conservancy and sporting pastimes. The result is an exuber- ant, one-of-a-kind Greek Revival–inspired house with woodland and flower gardens that looks as though it’s always been there, nestled amid the gently rolling hills and farms of the area. In A House in the Country, Peter and Katie open the door to their house and tell the story of its conception, design, decoration, and landscaping. Fea- turing gorgeous full-color photography by noted photographer Eric Piasecki and finely rendered plans and elevations by Anton Glikin, the book shares charming and honest anecdotes about every step of their process, from some of the challenges they faced—it’s no small feat to turn a fetid bog into a thriving pond—to some of their favorite choices, like Katie’s use of a varie- gated purple mosaic tile in the front hall. Readers are invited to join Peter and Katie on their journey, gaining design inspiration and tips for their own homes along the way.
