  1. Invisible Forces: Mounting with Magnets

    Jul 28, 2016 - A wallpaper section from Ima Hogg’s personal collection, this work of art shows a view of Istanbul from the Bosphorus Bay. Once the template was completed, we attached a beveled mat—segmented to match the edge strips—to the top of the embedded magnet strips.

  5. Meet the Chef: Marlies Wasterval

    May 26, 2016 - When I was growing up, my dad lived just down the street from where I work now—so when we came to his house, we spent a lot of time in museums, including the MFAH.

  9. Dangerous Curves: A “Sculpted in Steel” Chat with Ken Gross

    Mar 30, 2016 - The formula for sensuality included a long hood, a small cabin (just two seats), a rakish tail, and lots of curves. Just look at a Delahaye 135MS for proof.
