Photo from Curbed LA by Elizabeth Daniels The Artist Xavier Veilhan created an abstract sculpture of the Architect John Lautner as part of an exhibit called Architectones at the Sheats-Goldstein home back in May 2013. One of the main pieces of the exhibit was an abstracted metal sculpture of the Architect John Lautner looking down on the city from above in the Sheats Goldstein master bedroom. The idea for the piece and the location was derived from a photo of Lautner in the same position while the structure was under construction back in the early 1960's.

Here is a video of Mr. Goldstein's original office in Century City by Architect John Lautner. Here is a full description of the office. The written words of Contractor Roban Poirier in regards to the Goldstein Office: This is the James Goldstein Office designed by Architect John Lautner.

It was built to be dismantled and re-installed into the Goldstein Tennis Pavilion at the Sheats-Goldstein Residence when it was completed. Mr Lautner looked in on our meeting and said " Here's a nice simple little Tenan

Kendrick Bangs Kellogg (1934-2017) was an American architect known for his bold and innovative designs that often blend seamlessly with their natural surroundings. He was particularly noted for his use of unconventional building materials and sculptural forms, which give his buildings a distinctive and often whimsical character. The Doolittle House is one of Kellogg's most famous works, located in Joshua Tree, California. It was designed in 1988 for artist Bev Doolittle and her husband, Jay, and is sometimes called the High Desert House.
