This classic volume showcases jet-set homes designed by thelikes of Neutra, Frey, Lautner, and others. Palm Springs is famous as a meccafor the international jet set. But the city has also attracted its share ofeccentrics and mavericks who have left an architectural legacy that remainsunsurpassed for its originality and international influence. This book examinesthe impact that architects and designers have had on the desert oasis,primarily from the 1940s to the 1960s. Palm Springs Modern features examples ofmidcentury modernism at its most glamorous, some of them the residences ofprominent figures who commissioned weekend getaways in the desert, includingFrank Sinatra, Walter Annenberg, and Raymond Loewy. Adéle Cygelman’s insightfultext, a foreword by architectural historian Joseph Rosa, contemporary colorphotography by David Glomb, and the celebrated archival black-and-white work ofJulius Shulman all capture the distinctly modern allure of America’s fameddesert playground.
