James Hubbell & Sim Bruce Richards: Collaborations | SD Central Library Art Talk w/Keith York

Join Keith York, Sim Bruce Richards’ biographer, for a discussion and presentation of the architect’s four-decade friendship with collaborator James Hubbell. Together, the duo integrated lighting, windows, railings and sculpture into Richards’ residential designs. And a large number of these same clients returned to Hubbell for additional artworks for their home. York offers a survey of remembrances and photographs of how Hubbell, (and others) helped craft unique living environments connecting the beauty of each surrounding environment to exquisite wood, masonry and glass interiors.
