From hundreds of Boynton’s interviews with Beard’s closest friends, former lovers, and fellow artists comes this intimate portrait.

Alles begann am 8. Januar 2018. Ich bin in Salzburg/Österreich aus dem Zug gestiegen. Mit wedelnden, selbstgestrickten Socken, befestigt an der Halterung für ein Selfie vom Handy, erahnte ich zwischen den Menschenmassen, meine Kontaktperson. Warum Socken fragst du dich?

A ninth-grade dropout who found himself at the center of the worlds of industry, advertising, theater, and even gaming, Bel Geddes designed everything from the first all-weather stadium to Manhattan's most exclusive nightclub to Futurama, the prescient 1939 exhibit that envisioned how America would look in the not-too-distant 1960s.
