Author Description

Karl Lagerfeld has more than a passing interest in modern architecture, not just the engagement of a polymath artist with all facets of the avant-garde in contemporary culture. His architectural photographs have always been about much more than structure and form and in this exquisite three volume set he explores three quite diverse architectural gems with his highly subjective methodology and insightful vision. Casa Malaparte The poet and renowned egomaniac Curzio Malaparte proclaimed his villa on Capri A house like me. Karl Lagerfelds use of the Polaroid-transfer technique beautifully captures the antique beauty and mystical charm of this elegiac building.
