design year:

notes:
This is the first monograph on the lesser-known but increasingly influential American designer Samuel Abraham Marx. Although Marx was born at the end of the nineteenth century, he had the eye of a modernist, as an architect, furniture designer, connoisseur, and collector. In more than 200 photographs, Marx expert and decorative arts dealer, Liz OBrien, reveals many of his undiscovered projects, including houses that have been razed despite preservationist protests, as well as his range of furniture designs. Throughout his career, Marx was sought after for his ability to integrate art in well-heeled interiors. The private art collections of many of his wealthy clients have, in the last 40 years, been dispersed to major museums including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and the Art Institute of Chicago
