MODERN VIEWS
A Project to Benefit Farnsworth House and the Glass House
“The building as muse: that is the idea behind Modern Views, in which 100 distinguished architects,
artists, designers and landscape architects have created works that are in some way inspired by either
the Farnsworth House, Mies van der Rohe’s extraordinary masterpiece in Plano, Illinois, or the Glass
House, the centerpiece of Philip Johnson’s estate in New Canaan, Connecticut, or both. That these
two sublime buildings can both excite and challenge designers is no surprise; they have been doing so
for more than half a century, and Modern Views, in a sense, is just an attempt to give concrete form to
the great influence that these two works of architecture have had on the design sensibility of our time.”
— excerpted from Paul Goldberger’s introduction to Modern Views Inspired by the Mies van der Rohe Farnsworth
House and the Philip Johnson Glass House, published by Assouline, Fall 2010.
MODERN VIEWS: A Project to Benefit Farnsworth House and the Glass House invited
some of our era’s top creative minds to continue one of the twentieth century’s great
cultural dialogues: the historic exchange reflected in the Ludwig Mies van der Rohe
Farnsworth House (1945–51) and the Philip Johnson Glass House (1949).

Spearheaded by the Glass House leadership, as the National Trust’s Center for Modernism, Events
the project represents a yearlong initiative to raise funds for critical site preservation efforts
at both homes. The venture is set to raise $1M to preserve our country’s most inspirational September 16, 2010
Modernist icons. Chicago auction and premiere of
the film Points on a Line by artist
“The National Trust for Historic Preservation is extremely proud to be the owner of these
Sarah Morris at the Arts Club,
two icons of Modernism,” said David Brown, Executive Vice President of the National
201 East Ontario Street, Chicago
Trust for Historic Preservation. “Modern Views ensures that both the Glass House and
Farnsworth House will continue to inspire other artists and spur an ongoing dialogue about
October 6, 2010
the role both houses occupy in the broader Modernist movement. While raising needed
