Emblems of
authenticity. FROM
our first issue devoted to the topic. For some,
it is a word so overused as to seem virtu-
ally meaningless. Other readers considered
it almost obscene to even raise the idea at
a time of economic stagnation and high
unemployment.
God knows things that cost the most aren’t
necessarily better. And as someone who
loves a bargain, I understand the pleasure
that paying less can bring—provided you
are paying less for the right thing. Good
design is available at every price point,
as important in an efficient and beautiful
kitchen range as it is in the latest Mercedes.
There is an old adage, quoted by virtually
every famous designer: Buy the best you
can afford. And the last three words of that
maxim are as crucial as the first three. Lux-
ury should never lead to debt, just as being
in debt is no luxury.
So what really distinguishes luxury today?
I would suggest that it is authenticity,
whether that is expressed via a heritage of
excellence attached to an object or a brand,
or the inherent honesty of a design itself,
one that is true to both its function and its
materials. The best retain their value. There
is, a fter all, no eBay market for counterfeit
Chanel or Hermès bags, while the real ones
generate waiting lists for the new, and fierce
bidding for the vintage.
tiated by the international Elle Decoration
network, working with leading furniture
makers to stress the importance of buying
authentic designs produced by licensed
manufacturers. These pieces cost more than
knock-offs, yes, but when you buy a l icensed
piece, whether by Le Corbusier or Isamu
Noguchi, Phil ippe Starck or the Bouroullec
brothers, you are not only assured of some-
thing tr ue and well made, you are also sup-
porting the companies that are investing in
the future of design.

STRIKING GOLD
At the turn of the 19th century, status was everything. New York
high society was coming of age. Rockefellers, Vanderbilts,
Astors, and other wealthy families fashioned their homes in
the image of European aristocracy. Balls and dinner par-
ties dominated the scene. “Gilded New York,” opening
at the Museum of the City of New York (through
November 30, 2014; mcny.org), showcases the
lavish furnishings, clothing, and interiors of a
new elite whose love of over-the-top style
continues to influence our culture.

Since his death in 1974, alone in Pennsylvania Station, his body
unidentified for several days, the stature of architect Louis Kahn has
grown. His Yale Center for British Art, which opened later that year,
was widely acclaimed as one of the most beautiful museums in the
world. My Architect, the award-winning 2003 documentary by his
son, exposed Kahn’s complicated personal life, but also increased
awareness of his grand public buildings in America and Bangladesh.
And last year, his Four Freedoms Park, which he completed drawings
for shortly before his death, finally opened after a four-decade delay.
Kahn was never as eloquent as many of his peers, and his disheveled,
shambling demeanor lost him more than one commission (Jacque-
line Kennedy, after paying his Philadelphia office a visit, proceeded
to select the dapper I.M. Pei to design the Kennedy Library in Bos-
ton). But his monumental works, including the Kimbell Art Museum
in Fort Worth, Texas, the Salk Institute in La Jolla, California, and the
National Assembly Building in Dhaka, Bangladesh, have achieved vir-
tually mythic status. The Houses of Louis Kahn by George H. Marcus
and William Whitaker (Yale University Press) is the first book to
Pine Ford Acres
1959–62.

focus on the nine houses, many of them quite small and most of them
in the Philadelphia suburbs, that Kahn designed throughout his career.
What’s fascinating is not only how well Kahn’s strengths translate to a
domestic scale—his sensitivity to and mastery of light, his innovative
use of the most basic materials, endowing them with grandeur—but
how his houses reflect and foretell his larger commissions. The curved
ceilings of the 1962 Clever house foreshadow the famous vaults that
diffuse l ight so beautifully at the Kimbell. The double-height rooms
with inset panels of the 1973 Korman house echo those on a grander
scale at the Yale Center for British Art. These houses prove that at
whatever scale he was working, Kahn was a master.

WHAT’S NEXT
Call it a feast for the eyes. “Art and Appetite: American
Painting , Culture, and Cuisine,” a new exhibition at the Art
Institute of Chicago, takes an expansive look at the many
ways artists have represented this country’s favorite pas-
time: eating. A number of the more than 75 works on dis-
play are food porn, pure and simple, such as Raphaelle
Peale’s sumptuous Still Life—Strawberries, Nuts, &c, from
1822, left, or Wayne Thiebaud’s rows of colorfully frosted
cakes. Claes Oldenburg’s soft sculpture of an enormous
fried egg , as well as Roy Lichtenstein’s comic-strip–style
paintings of beefsteak and turkey, turn supermarket st a-
ples into Pop art icons, while antique silver serving dishes
and painted platters point to our penchant for dressing
up dinner. The most affecting pieces here cast an eye on
our dining habits, whether alone—Edward Hopper’s
famous portrait of a melancholy woman under the harsh
lights of an Automat—or together, as in the many 19th-
century genre scenes depicting festive holiday gather-
ings. Chase it all down with a drink, courtesy of William
Glackens’s and Gerald Murphy’s portrayals of the lush life
(through January 27, 2014; artic.edu).

WHAT’S NEXT
First published in 1984—and in print ever since—Virginia and Lee
McAlester’s A Fie ld Guide to Ame rican Houses (Knopf) has long
been the go-to resource for architecture spotters . Packed with hun-
dreds of black-and-white photo-
major style of domestic architecture found across the
country, from Native American wigwams and New Eng-
land frame house s to post-war split levels and the groovy
geodesic domes of the 1970s. Along the way, detailed dia-
grams examined cornices and columns, shingle patterns
and roof shapes. Now Virginia McAlester has given the
guidebook a much-needed update, expanding the orig-
inal by nearly a third. Additional chapters explore the
explosion of styles over the past quarter-century—
including the shedlike retreats of the Hamptons, anything-
goes Deconstructivism, and the ubiquitous “millennium
mansion”—while a useful new section chronicles the
ways in which A merican neighborhoods developed.

which includes priceless gems from as far away as India
and South America—ended up scattered among various
museums. Now, for the first time since their discov-
ery, all 500 pieces will be reunited for “T he Cheap-
side Hoard: London’s Lost Jewels,” an exhibition
at the Museum of London sp onsored by haute
jeweler Fabergé and leading stone-miner Gem-
fields. Among the riches are, clockwise from left, a
sapphire and spinel pend ant, a monkey carved
from quartz cat’s-eye, a one-of-a-kind emer-
ald watch, and a salamander brooch of gold,
diamonds, and cabochon emeralds (through April
27, 2014; museumoflondon.org.uk).
