Overview

Features Doris Duke's estate, Shangri La, and its influential synthesis of modernist architecture and Islamic art and design. Situated on five acres of terraced gardens and pools overlooking the Pacific Ocean and Honolulu's Diamond Head, Shangri La was the idyllic paradise of philanthropist Doris Duke, reflecting her personal passion for the art, architecture and design of the Islamic world. Presents Shargri La's breath-taking interiors and landscape, including the splendid furnishings and art. Essays explore Duke as a collector; artwork commissioned in India, Morocco and Iran in the 1930s; and the evolving relations of art, architecture and landscape over time.--Inside front flap.
