As treasure troves of creativity, the homes of artists reflect the
intellectual worlds of their creators. Starting with the Villa
Stuck in Munich-the aesthetic, conceptual cosmos and life's work of
the aristocratic artist Franz von Stuck-this unique volume
integrates the artist's house as a category into the international
context and is the first to assign these buildings the status of
major works. About twenty examples bring to life the fascination
that these artistic fantasies hold for art lovers, including both
existing projects and some which, although they have been lost,
were of unique importance in their day and still retain their
charisma. Along with paintings, sculptures, and photographs closely
related to the houses, plans and models convey the correlation
between art and life as well as the kind of harmony of the arts
expressed in Richard Wagner's historical concept of the total work
of art. Houses featured (selection): Sir John Soane's Museum,
London; William Morris Red House, Bexleyheath; Louis Comfort
Tiffany's Tiffany House, New York City; Mortimer Menpes's flat,
London; the Fernand Khnopff Villa, Brussels; Jacques Majorelle's
villa and garden, Marrakesh; Kurt Schwitters' MERZbau, Hannover;
Max Ernst's house, Arizona
