ISBN: 9780847844135.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInspired by James McNeill Whistler’s famous Peacock Room, contemporary painter Darren Waterston creates his own decadent interpretation in a major installation at MASS MoCA. Darren Waterston’s Filthy Lucre is a contemporary reimagining of James McNeill Whistler’s decorative masterpiece Harmony in Blue and Gold: The Peacock Room—originally a dining room in the London mansion of shipping magnate Frederick Leyland. In 1876 and 1877, Whistler transformed the space with painted leather walls, gilded shutters, and a ceiling reflecting the coppery golds and brilliant blues of a peacock’s plumage. Waterston reconstructs the historical room as a sumptuous ruin, replete with reinterpretations of Whistler’s paintings and 250 hand-painted vessels. This title features all-new photography of Whistler’s and Waterston’s rooms, accompanied by essays by their curators and a scholar of patronage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Rizzoli","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44976916758581,"sku":"ByrdShop_0847844137","price":48.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780847844135_3098034e-de01-4f88-b865-5b22b0d6288e.jpg?v=1778732929","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/darren-waterston-filthy-lucre-9780847844135","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
