LONG, M J — Artists' Studios

London, Black Dog Publishing. 2009, First Edition. Hardcover. 189 pages, colour & b/w illustrations, bibliography. New, in Publishers shrinkwrap. Architect MJ Long worked with a remarkable list of artists, designing both their living and working space. Artists' Studios explores some of these key projects, providing a personal insight into the creative mind behind the working space of some the most respected artists. The studios profiled include those of Sir Peter Blake, RB Kitaj, Paul Huxley and Frank Auerbach, amongst others. MJ Long (1939-2018) was an architect, interior designer and a visiting critic at Yale University's School of Architecture. The studios are uniquely designed as the artists are all very different individuals, with the focus on the provision of working daylight in the studio. Artists' Studios looks upon the relationship between artist and studio and the designs of MJ Long from her perspective. The book is organised around each studio she was been with, detailing the conception of the project and the specific needs of the artists. [799] Size: 255mm. x 200mm. (ISBN: 9781906155728), New.
