BELLAS ARTES

Henry Bourne’s photographs of the residences and workspaces of a who’s who of creative people open windows onto the groundbreaking design approaches and trends of the last three decades. For nearly thirty years, Bourne has been photographing the residences and studios of, or those designed by, some of the world’s most important artists, architects, designers, and innovators. Culture and society are constantly evolving, and changes, both aesthetic and sociological, are reflected in our physical surroundings. Spaces and portraits in this volume range from the Upstate New York studio of artist Richard Prince, Vincent Van Duysen’s early apartment in Antwerp, and Marc Newson’s residences (his modern former bachelor pad as well as the more textured apartment he shares with Charlotte Stockdale today) to the joyfully chaotic London atelier of artist Paula Rego, the Villa Volpi by architect Tomaso Buzzi near Rome, the London studio of artists Tim Noble and Sue Webster—before and after its sleek renovation, designed by architect David Adjaye.

Growing up in America’s heartland, Kansas, and hitting New York City at age twenty-one, the young designer Andrew Torrey brought his big dreams, ambition, and strong work ethic with him. The self-taught Torrey took the leap and founded his eponymous firm in 2013. This first monograph showcases twenty-three of the designer's extraordinary projects, from vibrant Manhattan and sun-soaked Miami to London, Los Angeles, and Cabo San Lucas. This debut book explores Torrey’s distinctive approach: a seamless blending of cool, clean, modern designs with opulent finishes, sumptuous materials, and a reverence for the historical and vintage. A passion for contemporary art and an approach combining modern glamour with effortless charm also define Torrey’s signature.
