Red

From primary structures to contemporary creations, red appears as one of the most traditional and at the same time the most avant-garde colors in the built world. This book presents a selection of 150 red buildings – from the Petersen Automotive Museum in LA and its cherry red and silver facade to the State Historical Museum in Moscow and its brick red walls. This book invites you to appreciate the built world in another way, with the aesthetics of the color red as one and only criterion. - Former head of education (exhibitions and communication) and development director of the Interpretative Audio Program (Digital Media) at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, Stella Paul created the Southern California Center for the Archives of American Art at the Smithsonian Institution and was also a curator at LACMA (Los Angeles County Museum of Art).
