Soros, Susan Weber (Ed.): James 'Athenian' Stuart. The Rediscovery of Antiquity. Exhibition: New York, Bard Graduate Center, 2006. 480pp, with 500 colour and 100 monochrome illustrations. Cloth. 31x25cms. The creation of the Greek style in the 18th century was largely due to the multi-volume landmark publication 'Antiquities of Athens' published by James Stuart (with co-author Nicholas Revett). Stuart's subsequent career as an architect, artist, interior and furniture designer and tastemaker was highly influential and this catalogue considers his early training, archaeological interests, patrons, poor record for completing his works, as well as his specific work at Spencer House, London, the Greek Doric Temple at Hagley and other projects.

The creation of the "Greek style" and its pervasive impact in England and on the Continent during the third quarter of the eighteenth century was largely due to James Stuart's landmark multi-volume publication Antiquities of Athens, coauthored with Nicholas Revett. Stuart, subsequently known as "Athenian" Stuart, went on to a highly influential career that spanned the fields of architecture, interior decoration, furnishings, sculpture, and metalwork. This lavishly illustrated book is the first to examine Stuart's multi-dimensional career and the full scope of his contributions as designer, artist, and tastemaker. An international team of scholars consider each area of Stuart's work, his early training, interest in archaeology, unique network of patrons, poor record for completing projects, and legacy. With illustrations and discussion of the stunning neo-classical furnishings he created at Spencer House, the Greek Doric Temple at Hagley, and numerous other remarkable projects, the book brings Stuart's achievements to light more clearly than ever before.
