Try Wolfe's From Bauhuas to Our House. An abosultue scream, partucularly if you have ever work on "Nan der Roh's Row."

Too funny.

Bauhaus was very funny. Guy's got a rapier for a pen, that's for sure. Dissects pretentiousness with glee.

There's another place, perhaps in the same book, where Wolfe refers to "Mies van der Rohe on row" of plastic airport chairs.

I haven't read any Tom Wolfe except "Radical Chic and MauMauing the Flak Catchers". I just loved it, and don't know why I never picked up any more of his books! I will have to rectify that situation in the New Year, right after I finish "Satanic Verses" and "A Matter of Character".

Also "The Painted Word"; similar sendup of modern art!
