beautifully photographed - houses and art collection of Chara Schreyer.....the 5 architecture of the homes shown in the book, and the furnishings are as incredible as the artwork. The index is vital to determining the artist attributions in each photo. In order to see what artist created each piece of work, one has to flip to an index with thumbnail photos and extremely small print. Were it not for that, would have given the book 5 stars.Product details

Art House Classics Alisa Carroll 9781614285366 Books Reviews
I have been thrilled by the history and beauty captured in Art House. Visually it is a stunning book that opens a window into the world of art. Their story telling makes the art and design come to life.
A combination of the best of Architectural Digest and a well curated view of modern art. Beautiful minimalist interiors highlight five houses that accommodate an astonishing compendium of some of the best art you've seen outside a museum.
The story behind the collector is skillfully woven in.
A book to revisit again and again.
Bravo! Art House blurs the line between fine art, gallery, interior design and living space. The beautiful photography shows off am amazing collaboration between two geniuses with captivating recollections from the pair in a charming text. The book feels like so much more than a design book. We are brought inside homes that are more than homes, with the stories and history to go along with the properties, the art and the artful interior design that surrounds and houses them. It is a true journey and a fabulous book.
What a joy it has been to enjoy and learn so much from reading The Art House. The Art House tells a great story. It is the story of a forty year collaboration of five homes by the uber talented San Francisco designer, Gary Hutton and a world leading collector of modern and contemporary art, Chara Schreyer. It is beautifully told by writer and editor in chief of SFC&G, Alisa Carroll.
As a student of the decorative arts I was fascinated with the incredible attention to detail necessary to create a successful “home for art”. Each of the five homes featured in the book is a “home for art”.
Carroll communicates the creative partnership between Hutton and Schreyer. The sensitivity, materially and intellectually, between designer and art collector resonates in every image.
Gary Hutton’s ability to choose subtly shifting shades of white to bring cohesion is brilliant. He introduces many textures and shades for an achromatic palette. His unusual and alternative materials provide warmth to the spaces. As a talented furniture designer and sculptor, he is able design objects to give visual strength to works of art. The interior design is precise with minimal attention to domestic requirements.
Art House is indeed a fantastic read. What a wonderful way to enjoy extraordinary works of art in a Home for Art.
Bien excelentemente
FABULOUS !!!! THANK YOU!!!
First, the good. This is a truly magnificent book absolutely stunning art and interior design, magnificently photographed, and the text is very well-written and readable. Gary Hutton is a very gifted colleague of mine whose work I have admired greatly for many years, and I've specified a number of pieces of furniture of his design in my own projects, a number of which are featured in these pages. Both his design acumen and Chara Schreyer's eye for amazing art are extremely well portrayed. When a designer and client are so well in synch, true magic can emerge from their collaboration, and this book is a testament to this dynamic - a real gem. I love the book, obviously, and read it straight through in one sitting. I really want to display it on my coffee table in my living room, where it so richly belongs, and would love to be able to give copies of it as gifts.
So why only 3 stars, when the content is unquestionably 5 star?
Because the binding is a bloody disaster - utterly unacceptable in any book, let alone one of this caliber. A brand new, perfect book showed up - and after laying it out flat on my dining room table and reading carefully through the whole thing one single time, it was literally already starting to fall apart by the time I closed it, to the point that none of the page edges are properly lined up any more, and I'm almost afraid to handle it. You can see the printer's marks at the binding side of many pages, the unbound open edges are almost as staggered and roughly ordered as old-fashioned deckle-edged books, and the whole book's contents are pulling away from the spine, with the stitching actually starting to pull out. It's as if people had been bending the binding all the way backwards and twisting it repeatedly over a period of time, but obviously that has not happened. It's just awful.
is sending me a replacement, so hopefully this is just a one item defect; I will update this review if the new one is OK.
But Assouline, if you are reading these reviews, this is completely unacceptable. You need to deal with your quality control right away.
