Contributions from emerging and established scholars, art historians, and practitioners offer a multi-faceted analysis of major figures such as Horace Trumbauer, Julian Francis Abele, Robert Venturi, and Richard Kelly. Taking the James B. Duke House, now home to NYU’s Institute of Fine Arts, as its point of departure, this collection provides fresh perspectives on domestic spaces, urban forms, and social reforms that shaped early-twentieth century New York into the modern city we know today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments   Contributors      Introduction    Jean-Louis Cohen, Daniella Berman, and Jon Ritter      Portfolio: Duke House      Maps: Mansions on the Upper East Side      1 The City Beautiful, Zoning, and Preservation on New York’s Upper East Side    Jon Ritter      2 A “Gilded Stall” for the Progressive Era: Fabricating Aristocracy on Fifth Avenue    Matthew Worsnick      3 Building in “Splendid Style”: Duke House and the Development of the Cook Block    Alisa Chiles      4 Beaux-Arts Architects and Their Mansions    Isabelle Gournay      5 Mr. Duke Builds His Dream House    Mosette Broderick      6 “Good Taste” and the Making of Duke House: Francophilia, Architecture, and Adaptation    Daniella Berman      7 Commissioning Interiors: Carlhian and Duveen at Duke House    Grace Chuang      8 Dukes to Profs: Robert Venturi’s primum opus on 78th Street    Jean-Louis Cohen      9 Renovation and Illumination: Richard Kelly at the Institute    Christie Mitchell      10 Preservation on the Cook Block: An Architect’s Perspective    Theodore Prudon      Select Bibliography   List of Illustrations   Index of Persons and Organizations   Index of Buildings and Places","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53210848788823,"sku":"9789004521032","price":141.6,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/duke-house-and-the-making-of-modern-new-york-lives-and-afterlives-of-a-fifth-avenue-mansion-9789004521032","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
