Hill-Stead Museum Launches First Comprehensive Museum Monograph
Hill-Stead Museum in Farmington welcomes Dr. James F. O’Gorman, Grace Slack McNeil Professor Emeritus of the History of American Art at Wellesley College, to launch the publication of Hill-Stead: The Country Place of Theodate Pope Riddle, the first comprehensive volume on this classic American home. On Thursday, April 22 at 7 pm, Dr. O’Gorman, editor and lead essayist of the book, will lecture on “Variety and Innovation in the Architecture of Theodate Pope,” offering a long-overdue reappraisal of the contributions of this “woefully underrated designer of the first rank.” The book, published by Princeton Architectural Press, combines stunning photographs of the house’s architecture, art, furnishings and landscape with the latest historical scholarship.
