Description

Henry Bourne's photographs of the residences and workspaces of a who's who of creative people open windows onto the groundbreaking design approaches and trends of the last three decades.

For nearly thirty years, Bourne has been photographing the residences and studios of, or those designed by, some of the world's most important artists, architects, designers, and innovators. Culture and society are constantly evolving, and changes, both aesthetic and sociological, are reflected in our physical surroundings. Spaces and portraits in this volume range from the Upstate New York studio of artist Richard Prince, Vincent Van Duysen's early apartment in Antwerp, and Marc Newson's residences (his modern former bachelor pad as well as the more textured apartment he shares with Charlotte Stockdale today) to the joyfully chaotic London atelier of artist Paula Rego, the Villa Volpi by architect Tomaso Buzzi near Rome, the London studio of artists Tim Noble and Sue Webster-before and after its sleek renovation, designed by architect David Adjaye.

Creative director Peter Saville's sleek London apartment captures the essence of the 1990s, while the homes of both architect Zaha Hadid and minimalist master John Pawson are self-portraits in design. This book is a collection of the mainly personal spaces and portraits of luminaries at the turn of the twenty-first century, depicting the contradictory yet stimulating language of contemporary design: stylish and functional, maximalist and minimalist, opulent and understated.

Reviews
"With the publication in 2024 of his first retrospective book, Turn of the Century, we get to see some of Bourne's most memorable interiors and portraits all in one place. From the aforementioned squat to the residences of some of the most important figures in fashion, art and design. To say that Turn of the Century is a who's who of design and architecture would be an understatement. Some of the brightest stars of the last 30 years opened their doors to the photographer." - THE WORLD OF INTERIORS

"Over the past three decades, Henry Bourne has captured the living spaces of the world's foremost creatives, showcasing a diverse array of styles and locales. This book chronicles the evolution of design over the years and underscores the enduring impact of sophisticated and timeless interiors." - VERANDA

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.
