Exhibition: Between Earth and Heaven

Between Earth and Heaven will be the first large-scale museum exhibition devoted to this innovative, yet underappreciated, American architect. Over the course of a career spent largely in Los Angeles, John Lautner (1911–1994) captured the essence of Southern California in more than 150 distinctive structures. Trained by Frank Lloyd Wright, Lautner is best known for such private homes as the Elrod Residence in Palm Springs, featured in the James Bond movie Diamonds Are Forever, and Los Angeles’s iconic “Chemosphere.” Organized by the Hammer Museum, Between Earth and Heaven is curated jointly by Nicholas Olsberg, a cultural historian and expert on modern American architecture, and Frank Escher, an award-winning architect who helped establish the John Lautner Foundation. A three-venue international tour is planned. The 234-page Rizzoli exhibition catalogue will be the first comprehensive study of Lautner and his work and will include many previously unpublished photographs and drawings.
