la maison de verre – francois halard
i was really glad last week when i saw thames&hudson re-released the book on the glass house by photographer francois halard. seeing the pile reducing seriously everytime i was passing by mcnally jackson (which by the way is the best place to get books and mag in the city) made me wonder if the fact that the new york times made a great article about the house recently was the reason or just general interest. now i’m crossing my fingers that they will also re-release the book on the villa malaparte by mr halard as well… by pp.
