Summary ""I wanted to make this house much more in glass, but the client did not like that. I had great trouble."" "With this single remark, Mies van der Rohe condemned Haus Lange, along with its neighbor, Haus Esters, to the dustbin of the modern master's legacy. Forty-five yeas after this fateful comment - and seventy-five since they were built - the Krefeld villas finally get their due. Authors Kent Kleinman and Leslie Van Duzer make a thoroughly researched investigation into the history of these two villas - from the residences of lifelong friends and business partners Hermann Lange and Josef Esters to an ensemble of museums exhibiting many of today's most influential contemporary artists."--Jacket
