Philip Johnson’s Glass House
Just got back from a weekend in Connecticut visiting Philip Johnson’s Glass House. Nothing truly compels you to simplify like having no place to store all the things you don’t need.
This was Johnson’s painting gallery/man cave. The room-in-a-hill features wine racks in the bathroom and gallery panels that rotate, permitting Andy Warhol to push Julian Schnabel’s paintings out of view when David Whitney stopped by.
Warhol’s portrait of David Whitney hangs in the painting gallery.
The Glass House and its environs is totally worth the visit. The House’s trust gives tours in small groups; find information on reserving tickets here.
