STICKYBEAK: the ultimate glass house
Posted by Cerentha Harris on 6/07/2007
HARRY I’ve always admired Philip Johnson’s Glass House in Connecticut. And now that it is open to the public I would love to visit it. It’s now a part of the National Trust. Since a trip to the east coast isn’t on the cards right now this New York Times piece will have to suffice. Todd Heisler’s photographs make an interesting slide show. In amongst the standard perfect shots of glass walls and Bertoia chairs you see the frayed edge of a shower curtain and a shot of a kid in sneakers and baggy shorts gazing at the view. Fascinating to see such an iconic house dotted with tourists.
