title: Richard Gillette: The Art of the Interior
author:  Richard Gillette 
description: "Richard Gillette has a genuinely artistic sensibility that makes for painterly, even somewhat mysterious, interiors, a selection of which are now beautifully showcased in his new book <i>The Art of the Interior</i> (Rizzoli)." ~New York Social Diary<br><br>&ldquo;Richard Gillette&rsquo;s interior design makes leaving the house that much harder&hellip; &lsquo;Interiors&rsquo; collects a series of clear vivid photographs that document work he did between 1975 and 2008, mostly in New York City. The range is genuinely astonishing: How did the same man design both a townhouse based on the minimal, strong lines of Japanese homes and a cool, glorious apartment filled with an array of Greco-Roman elements? If Gillette has designed your home, collecting art seems almost redundant.&rdquo; ~The Daily<br>&#160;<br>&ldquo;Stunning photographs highlight the hallmarks of Gillette&rsquo;s work&mdash;his exceptionally fine craftsmanship and painterly attention to surface and form, elements that contribute to making his interiors works of art in their own right.&rdquo; ~Dexigner<br>&#160;<br>&ldquo;Richard Gillette has worked mightily as a one-man atelier for the past 30 years.&rdquo; ~Architects + Artisans
