Want more? Check out the ever-changing Picasa photo albums on Lautner's work. Most of the photographers are amateurs but the photographs nevertheless show many Lautner buildings well.
Watch this space for changes. A new look will soon replace the old. All of the old information will be available but in a different format that we hope will make it easier to find what you want.
Read the exhibit description from the Hammer. Read the April 10 LA Times article about Lautner, and the article in the same issue on Lautner's Harpel house.
New film: A part of the above exhibit is new photography, including new film of several Lautner buildings, by architectural filmmaker Murray Grigor. In addition to the films incorporated into the exhibit, Grigor is producing a new documentary on Lautner, to be screened during the exhibition. Read about it here.
