La Grande Maitresse of French (Post) Modern Architecture and (late) 20th Century comtemporay design

This lovely 1997 monograph is the new, extended and updated first North American Edition in English of Andrée Putman architectural works. Magnificently produced and researched, this volume includes all the projects of the great French architect and designer who got her most important "breakthrough" in designing the innovative interior spaces of "Le Musée de la Gare d'Orsay" on the Left Bank in Paris. This book is handsomely designed by Michael Phillips for The Overlook Press and is lavishly illustrated with 236 Illustrations, including 230 in full colors. This First American Edition is translated from the French by Sue Rose, based on the 1993 texts of the French Edition.

This is the best of the crop

Many celebrities asked Andrée Putman to create a new interior for them. Mainly in New-York and in Paris. This book gathers a lot of reviews you might have read in a slightly different form in magazines such as Architectural Digest or Interiors. Nothing original. it's just a comprehensive look at Putman's global work.
