We have fielded hundreds of calls for the Glass House to be a site for such shots. We have only approved 3 - none of which paid. All three had the acceptance criteria that the content relate to supporting the talent of new designers -- in 2007 the article and photos featured Ron Radziner, Jeurgen Reim, Matthias Hollowich, the architects of asemptote - even john blacklee and port draper. This vogue issue was dedicated to the talent of phoebe philo which we believed was terrific in support of a young designer. It should be noted that even Annie Liebovitz commented on the difficulty of shooting at the site "because the architecture is a major player in the dialogue - it is not submissive or passive - it has an active voice in the picture" One can see that as the clothes in the two pictures shown are not even really discernable. So -- this is unusual for us - yes - but something others (see W mag where MoMA and Dia are pictured) are finding helps bring Modern into the more collective conscious. And - we all know that recognition (strategic recognition) of our great modern assets will create greater awareness and value to the preservation of those assets. Hope that helps the dialogue<br />Christy MacLear, Executive Director of the Glass Housechristy maclearhttp://www.philipjohnsonglasshouse.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7206120578266217391.post-5129270302107631132009-10-26T19:28:47.778-04:002009-10-26T19:28:47.778-04:00I bet it was easy to get bumped to the background ...I bet it was easy to get bumped to the background for the nice fee Vogue must have paid.TAnoreply@blogger.com
