THERE'S A LESSON IN THIS

If you haven't been able to get your hands on Jed Johnson's highly collectible book of interiors, your luck is about to change. A reprint of the design classic is out now, and his work is as classically radical as ever

The entry for July 29, 1984, in The Andy Warhol Diaries reads, "We went out to the Brants' big spread in Greenwich. Jed decorated the house and everything and it was my first time seeing it. Rolling hills and white columns. It's impressive... And I went into the big room where they had a Marilyn over the mantel in a gold frame and it looked just beautiful. Really beautiful. It looked like a million dollar painting...so right in that room with all the America stuff."
