Description
Captured on the pages of these two volumes is what Mario Buatta called the scrapbook of his life. Here are pieces that traveled with him from as early as his first apartment in the early 1960s, such as his beloved "Floral Bouquet" living room curtains whose length he continued to augment as he moved, to objects that belonged to his design idols and inspirations Nancy Lancaster and Mrs. Henry "Sister" Parish II. He spent over fifty years creating this collection which, until now, has been hidden away and never fully comprehended in its impressive scale and quality. In the book we wrote together on his remarkable career, Mario reflected, "I don't buy for investment. I always tell clients, 'Buy something because you like it or you need it.' To me, an investment is stocks, bonds, or real estate. I'd rather look at a pair of candlesticks, a mirror, or a painting that gives me pleasure. That's the return I get. Everything I have may be old, but I love it all. It's the prose and poetry in my life."ISBN:MARIOBUATTAPR
