James 'Athenian' Stuart. The Rediscovery of Antiquity
Soros, Susan Weber (Ed.): James 'Athenian' Stuart. The Rediscovery of Antiquity. Exhibition: New York, Bard Graduate Center, 2006. 480pp, with 500 colour and 100 monochrome illustrations. Hardback. 31x25cms. The creation of the Greek style in the 18th century was largely due to the multi-volume landmark publication 'Antiquities of Athens' published by James Stuart (with co-author Nicholas Revett). Stuart's subsequent career as an architect, artist, interior and furniture designer and tastemaker was highly influential and this catalogue considers his early training, archaeological interests, patrons, poor record for completing his works, as well as his specific work at Spencer House, London, the Greek Doric Temple at Hagley and other projects.
