"The award-winning man of letters—who died on Tuesday, March
12—also happened to be a dab hand when it comes to interiors, as
John Richardson: At Home (out March 26 from Rizzoli) bears eloquent
witness." —ARCHITECTURAL DIGEST.COM
"John Richardson flitted through the top echelons of art, fashion,
and finance for 70 years. Just weeks after his death, a new book
celebrates the places he called home." —BLOOMBERG NEWS
"Sir John Richardson, the renowned Picasso biographer, moved to his
lower Fifth Avenue loft back in 1995, and in the interim years its
idiosyncratic interiors have been widely documented and discussed
in glossy magazines and newspapers. Thus, last Fall when Rizzoli
called to commission me to photograph a newly evolving space in his
home, I didn’t hesitate—the opportunity to capture images of such
an enthusiastically personal environment is catnip for interiors
photographers such as myself. This would all need to happen fast,
the Rizzoli book John Richardson: At Home was already in
the late stages of production for its March 2019 publication date."
—Joshua McHugh for SOTHEBY'S MAGAZINE
"Art historian, Picasso biographer, and bon vivant John Richardson
invites readers into his homes. From the south of France to the
Connecticut countryside, Richardson tells the story of his life
through the interiors he’s lived in and the furniture, artwork,
antiques, and objects he’s collected." —NEW YORK MAGAZINE
