Distinguishing himself from the restrained modernism of the postwar period, Goff created single-family homes that were at once livable and adventurous, featuring radical spatial relationships, and designed fantastical large-scale commercial and industrial spaces. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHis architectural legacy often overshadows his equally experimental artistic career; this book explores the full sweep of Goff's creativity, which flowed between media and artistic practices. It highlights 150 objects, including architectural drawings and models; abstract paintings; and photographs, ephemera, and building fragments. Inspired by a range of cultural and artistic traditions, from Native American art to Japanese joinery and the landscapes of science fiction, Goff's work represents a unique synthesis of diverse influences. In essays on Goff's connection to the Great Plains, his distinctly queer modernist vision, and his unique genesis of the arts, this book draws critical connections between Goff's life and work. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDistributed for the Art Institute of Chicago \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eExhibition Schedule: \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eArt Institute of Chicago\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e(December 20, 2025-March 29, 2026)\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlison Fisher\u003c\/b\u003e is the Harold and Margot Schiff Curator of Architecture and Design, and \u003cb\u003eCraig Lee\u003c\/b\u003e is an assistant curator, both at the Art Institute of Chicago.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 296\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.3 x 11.59 x 9.22 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 09, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43156914470975,"sku":"9780300284072","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/Aeiqrs4Laq9780300284072.webp?v=1776976339","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/bruce-goff-material-worlds-hardcover","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
