JOHN LAUTNER: an Annotated & Illustrated Bio-Bibliography 2010 JOHN LAUTNER: An Annotated & Illustrated Bio-Bibliography Compiled and Annotated by John Crosse Wolff Residence (see item 227.) 2 John Lautner: An Annotated Bibliography (Uncorrected Proof – Not for Sale) Chemosphere (Malin House) (see item 140.) Compiled and Annotated by John Crosse ©2009 modern-ISM Press 6333 Esplanade Playa del Rey, CA 90293 [email protected] 310-301-6339 3 Introduction The 2008 Hammer exhibition “Between Earth and Heaven: The Architecture of John Lautner” and Getty-Hammer Symposium “Against Reason: John Lautner and Postwar Architecture” created a flood of publicity and generated much renewed interest in Lautner‟s life and work. The traveling show is currently on view at the Palm Springs Art Museum after an interim show in Glasgow, Scotland. It also motivated me to look deeper into the literature for information on this unique and creative genius. A logical starting point for me was to perform a “Lautner” search in my 8,000 item “Julius Shulman Annotated Bibliography” prepared while researching a book on Shulman cover photos. The search resulted in 275 articles with Shulman photos of Lautner projects. Shulman has logged close to 75 assignments on Lautner projects over the years for various clients ranging from Lautner himself to book and article authors, magazine editors, newspaper reporters, exhibition curators, homeowners and realtors. He also used his considerable marketing skills and contacts with publishers and editors to help spread the gospel of modernism according to Lautner to a global audience. This bibliography compiles my Shulman-Lautner findings with the excellent bibliographic foundation laid by Ludolf von Alvensleben in the 1991 Viennese exhibition catalog “John Lautner: Architect: Los Angeles”, “John Lautner, Architect” with text by Lautner and edited by Frank Escher and the John Lautner Foundation web site. Listings were also gleaned from the endnotes in “The Architecture of John Lautner” by Alan Hess and “Between Earth and Heaven: The Architecture of John Lautner” edited by Nicholas Olsberg, et al. Building upon these sources, exhaustive searches were also done on ProQuest, Los Angeles Times Historical, RIBA, Avery, WorldCat, WilsonWeb, Art Index, Google and many other databases and sources resulting in well over 1300 items discovered to date. Feedback on ways to improve this compilation and submittals of new items I have undoubtedly overlooked are always welcome as I intend to update this bibliography periodically. Structure of the Bibliography Entries in the bibliography are chronological with divisions by year. Each year begins with a brief chronology of important events in Lautner‟s life followed by a list of the year‟s projects and finally, annotated bibliographical items published during the year. I have compiled the chronology and project lists from the ones provided in the aforementioned Ludwig von Alvensleben exhibition catalog and Lautner-Escher monograph, the 1999 Barbara- Ann Campbell-Lange “John Lautner” monograph edited by Peter Gossel, the 2008 “Between Earth and Heaven: The Architecture of John Lautner” edited by Olsberg, the 1998 “The Architecture of John Lautner” by Alan Hess and the project database prepared by Tycho Saariste available on the Lautner Foundation web site. I also have not taken the time to edit items from the Shulman bibliography that contain work by others in addition to Lautner. Readers may find it interesting, however, to see what company Lautner was keeping in these group articles. Illustrations are from my personal collection or from various internet sources and credited in the adjacent bibliography listing. Acknowledgements I would like to thank Judith Lautner and Karol Lautner Peterson for their guidance and review comments and contribution of numerous items included herein. 4 Chronology-Projects-Bibliography 1911 Born on July 16 in Marquette, MI.

  • The Directors of Thomas Dane Gallery Are Pleased to Announce the Second Exhibition of Italian Photographer, Luisa Lambri
    The Directors of Thomas Dane Gallery are pleased to announce the second exhibition of Italian photographer, Luisa Lambri. The exhibition features a selection of photographs from her body of work currently at the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles. The artist has long been captivated by the light of Southern California as well as by its architecture - particularly modernist houses designed by expatriate European architects. The mid-century photographs of these houses by Julius Shulman, describing flawless, pristine spaces have caused her to reflect on what a more personal experience of these spaces might be. Suspended between abstraction and figuration, her images are highly subjective responses to the Modernist ethos as evoked in these buildings. Characteristically, Lambri records the subtleties of their interiors as a means of exploring her own relationship to the space, to memory and to changes in perception over time. Eschewing the heroic, she photographs the less obvious details - apertures, windows, doors ajar, corners. In this exhibition, she has chosen skylights as a device, with hundreds of exposures in different qualities of light. Figures never appear in her work, but the human presence is evoked - "it is the ghost of the human being that is always in the photograph' says Hammer Chief Curator, Douglas Fogle. The images vary in their light and detail, from the very obscure, to the bleached out, effects also achieved through painstakingly adjusting the saturation and tone of each image in post-production. In this respect, Lambri reveals her ongoing interest in the work of light-and-space artists such as Robert Irwin and Larry Bell.

  • Luisa Lambri Photographs April 8 – 29, 2006 Luhring Augustine Is
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Luisa Lambri Photographs April 8 – 29, 2006 Luhring Augustine is pleased to announce an exhibition of photographs by Italian photographer Luisa Lambri. This will be the first solo exhibition of her work in New York and will feature photographs of iconic buildings by Modernist architects such as Luis Barragan, Walter Gropius and Marcel Breuer. Luisa Lambri's ephemeral photographs stand in clear contrast to the established practice of architectural photography which has traditionally focused attention on the exteriors of the buildings. Her unique approach to the subject is the investigation and documentation of the structures from within, interpreting the atmosphere of the space. She primarily photographs private houses, focusing on the view from the inside to the outside thereby establishing a physical and conceptual position for herself and the viewer. These delicately crafted images oscillate between objective representations of space and Lambri’s perceptions and reactions. The work realizes its full meaning when it is installed in a new space and in so doing establishes a new relationship between the viewer, the object and the space. Lambri utilizes traditional as well as new digital printing techniques to move her photographs beyond pure documentation. Her photographs of Luis Barragan’s house in Mexico City are a study of one window in which the changing position of the shutters dramatically affects the conditions of light. The photographs reference minimalism and abstract painting, evoking moments of transcendence. Similarly, her studies of the diamond shaped windows of Konstantin Melnikov’s house in Moscow, built 1927-29, are investigations of the temporally sublime.

    STUDIO GUENZANI VIA EUSTACHI 10 20129 MILANO TEL. 0229409251 [email protected] LUISA LAMBRI – New Works 16 febbraio - 30 marzo 2013 Inaugurazione: sabato 16 febbraio dalle 13.00 alle 20.00 Il 16 febbraio 2013 lo Studio Guenzani inaugurerà la quinta mostra personale di Luisa Lambri. Per oltre un decennio le fotografie di Luisa Lambri hanno esplorato e decostruito l'architettura modernista attraverso uno sguardo femminile. La sua ricerca si è concentrata quasi esclusivamente sulla relazione tra lo spazio e la luce, gli ambienti e la loro illuminazione, sugli spazi di transizione, di passaggio, e sulla relazione tra interno e esterno. Vediamo porte, corridoi, scale, e finestre di ogni tipo e forma dietro a cui si percepisce una natura non ancora addomesticata. Astrazione, minimalismo, femminismo, il corpo e l'autoritratto, tutto questo contribuisce in modo ugualmente importante alle composizioni dell'artista. Dopo avere esaminato il lavoro di architetti come Rudolph Schindler, Richard Neutra, Frank Lloyd Wright e John Lautner sulla costa occidentale degli Stati Uniti nel corso degli ultimi anni, ed essersi concentrata sulla relazione tra la loro opera e il paesaggio aspro tipico della California, soffuso da luce intensa e con la sua vegetazione dirompente, il lavoro di Luisa Lambri ha preso una nuova, eppure conseguente, direzione. Per la sua serie di fotografie più recenti Lambri ha fotografato le opere di alcuni artisti legati al movimento Light and Space del Sud della California come James Turrell, Robert Irwin, Larry Bell, Peter Alexander, oltre che importanti lavori di Donald Judd, Dan Flavin, e Lucio Fontana. In tutti i casi Lambri ha esplorato le loro opere e installazioni come gli interni, con i loro materiali, i riflessi, le superfici, lo spazio e il vuoto che sembrano creare.

A public reception will be held on January 21 from 5:30-7:30pm with a walk-through with the curators at 6:00pm. Modern architecture is often identified with buildings by Le Corbusier, Philip Johnson, Mies van der Rohe, and Frank Lloyd Wright, which represent a period driven by developments in technology, engineering, and the introduction of industrial materials such as iron, steel, concrete, and glass. However, architects at this time engaged in a practice that not only incorporated structural innovations, but also encouraged social change. The artists featured in the exhibition are interested not only in the potential of utopian ideas that these buildings represent, but also the sense of a passing idealism and lost opportunity that modern architecture now embodies. Hough comments, “The artists are less interested in the built structures themselves and what it might feel like to be inside one, and more interested in the philosophy and idealism they represent.

  • Luisa Lambri's
    Barbara, Casavecchia. “Luisa Lambri’s ‘New Works’”. Art-Agenda Online. 6 March 2013. Luisa Lambri’s ‘New Works’ Whenever I see a photo by Luisa Lambri, I think of a painting done by Gwen John (whose work remained in the shadows of her more famous brother Augustus until recently). It’s called A Corner of the Artist’s Room in Paris (1907–9) and it depicts a luminous corner of her attic: a wicker chair, a vase of flowers, the painter’s blue smock, a curtained window, and a triangular patch of pale sun. Although Lambri has always been attracted to corners and radiant apertures (windows, skylights, blinds) in private, domestic interiors, that’s not what sets my free associations into play. A Corner is obviously a self-portrait, even if John has subtracted her image from the frame. She painted it for seeing herself seeing, not for seeing herself being seen by others. In 2010, Lambri titled her exhibition at the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles “Being There.” “I am photographing myself being there,” she explained of the photographs from which she was so obviously absent. It’s the “the silent presence of another person”—as Michael Fried once described it—that confronts us in Lambri’s new series of prints at Studio Guenzani (where she held her first solo, back in 2000). They bring her gaze into the pictorial and sculptural space of post-war Abstraction and Minimalism: a new territory for her after having trod the familiar ground of Modernist architecture. Since the 1990s, Lambri has been capturing signature houses by—mostly male—stars like Aalto, Mies, Niemeyer, Le Corbusier, Wright, Kahn, Barragán, and Johnson, but she did so by erasing all iconic points of reference.

(From my collection). Introduction My introduction to Gordon Drake came through working on a book with Julius Shulman in which I plan to collect all of the covers his photos have appeared on. I have found over 800 to date. I spent many days in Shulman’s studio in his Raphael Soriano-designed home interviewing him and researching in his extensive studio archives of magazine tear sheets and compiled an annotated bibliography of 8,000 items resulting from his 7,000 assignments. Through this process it became clear that Shulman was a very close friend with Drake. Consequently, he spent much more time on his work for Drake and made full use of his editorial contacts to get Drake’s work published which helped garner numerous awards for the young architect beginning with his first project, his personal residence in Los Angeles seen on the cover of this bibliography. Shulman went on to complete seven assignments for Drake and collaborated on close to a hundred articles with him published all over the world. The partnership is a case study in the generation of publicity and use of marketing which benefited both men’s careers. The following is excerpted from my related blog post “The Post-War Publicity Partnership of Julius Shulman and Gordon Drake.” Gordon Drake burst onto the Los Angeles architectural scene in 1946 by winning Progressive Architecture's First Annual Award competition with his personal residence in Beverly Glen, his very first house.
