THE SPIRITED HOME OF HUNT SLONEM

An iconic American artist’s self-proclaimed life’s work—bringing historic mansions to life with bold color, antiques, myriad collectibles, and objets galore. “My homes are my life’s work—making old houses into a new form of my art,” says Hunt Slonem in his preface. Extraordinary photography, capsule summaries of each building’s history, and a sprinkling of anecdotes open the doors to Slonem’s personal and creative world from a new perspective. This book about his idiosyncratic, maximalist interior design style—how he employs color, arranges an abundance of antique furniture, exhibits his personal art and objects, mixes antique art with his own contemporary works, and displays myriad collections is awe-inspiring and inspirational. “More is more” is a fit adage for what this book reveals.
