SynopsisA showcase of some of Geoffrey Bradfield's finest work, Artistic License captures the masterful way he uses art in his sophisticated interiors. Few designers are as knowledgeable or as perceptive about the international art market as Bradfield. As the homes in this lavishly illustrated volume attest, he is unafraid to take risks, identifying emerging talents and combining them in his exquisite interiors with acknowledged masters. Bradfield's instinctive understanding and willingness to take liberties against a canvas of such refined luxury forms the very essence of Artistic License. The first American dual-language English/Chinese interior design book., The work of internationally celebrated interior designer Geoffrey Bradfield is recognised for its innovative use of contemporary art. Art is integral to his work and Artistic License is a rare and exclusive opportunity to see these museum-worthy collections in situ. Throughout the dozen homes featured here, Bradfield's choices consistently reflect his prescience and willingness to take risks. The juxtapositions - a Koons, Haring or Schnabel with a Matisse or Picasso or contemporary artists like Rachel Whiteread or Liao Yiba - are exciting and challenging.
