3.0 out of 5 stars Good reference book, June 15, 2001

By	Ping Lim (Christchurch) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The book was divided into various chapters. The introduction was allocated to describe Andree's childhood, how her inspiration came by, how she channelled her relentless energy into creating masterpieces subsequently. Then, the book gets into business right-a-way with illustrations (with descriptions) of hotels, showrooms, offices, museums, restaurants, shops, galleries, apartments, cinema, editions & licenses (for products). The final 3 chapters were collaborators, credits, index. For Andree's enthusiasts, I'm sure this book would appeal but for those readers who want to be behind the scene, trying to understand in-depth of the thinking & designing process, then, this book is no more than a eye candy book which might disappoint.

4.0 out of 5 stars This is the best of the crop, June 18, 2000

By	www.delalonde.com (Chateau-Bois-Briand, Nantes,Loire-Valley,France) - See all my reviews

Many celebrities asked Andrée Putman to create a new interior for them. Mainly in New-York and in Paris. This book gathers a lot of reviews you might have read in a slightly different form in magazines such as Architectural Digest or Interiors. Nothing original. it's just a comprehensive look at Putman's global work.
