He is best known for idiosyncratic single-family homes in suburban and rural areas across the United States that explode with color and texture--as well as cellophane, coal, goose feathers, and sequins. Dubbed the \"Michelangelo of kitsch,\" Goff rejected the minimalist aesthetics of his midcentury contemporaries and forged an architecture of fantastical, yet real, invention.\u003cp\u003eExpanding out from his distinctive architectural drawings, this groundbreaking study presents new research on the full breadth of Goff's creative practice, from his wide-ranging personal collections and work in mixed-media bricolage to his lifelong engagement with painting and music. Thematic essays by curators and scholars explore Goff's diverse influences including Native American art, science fiction, queer modernism, and East and Southeast Asian art and music. This richly illustrated book features many previously unpublished works by Goff as well as a new portfolio of architectural photography by artist Janna Ireland. \u003c\/p\u003e\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":51890760515872,"sku":"9780300284072","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/8YGw5f6CX89780300284072.webp?v=1781952534","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/bruce-goff-material-worlds-hardcover","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
