“The beauty [of architecture] consists in how you move into the space.” – Philip Johnson

Johnson’s glass house served as his home – but is celebrated as his masterpiece. The New Canaan house is set on more than 40-acres which include a sculpture gallery, painting gallery, library, visitor center and guest house. All of which are accessible through the tour. Tickets are on sale now for the 2011 Glass House Tour in New Canaan, Connecticut. The tours run annually from May 1 to November 30 – take a trip to the mecca of modernism and smile.

Andy Warhol’s portrait of Philip Johnson hangs in the painting gallery | Andy at Philip Johnson’s Glass House, photo by David McCabe: “A photographer’s dream location. It’s a glass box with fantastic light and reflective surfaces. Philip was putting the last touches to the designs for the Lincoln Center or some other project. So as not to disturb him, but to get a shot with him and Andy, I came up with this photograph.”
