Philip Johnson & Texas

"[A] fresh perspective....For any future historical analyses of Johnson's career, Welch's accounts of client-architect relations will provide valuable information about the players in Johnson's major commissions....Some readers may enjoy Welch's gossip about architects and patrons....To others, the accounts of the local Medici and of Johnson's acolytes may seem tedious and predictable....In the end, Welch pads his book with much data about Johnson's clientele and panders to his subject's charm, but does not do full justice to Johnson the architect, or clearly locate him in twentieth-century culture."Welch, Frank D. is the author of 'Philip Johnson & Texas' with ISBN 9780292791343 and ISBN 0292791348.
