●内容简介——

虽然现代主义被宣传为技术、新材料和理性美学的融合，以改善普通人的生活，但它往往无法为据称为其服务的民众所触及。昂贵品和现代主义展示了昂贵品在现代设计中是如何以大胆、直白的形式出现的——从奢华的材料和昂贵的技术到豪华的建筑和家居用品——以及以更微妙的方式出现的，比如社会环境和生活方式。在一个社会动荡、普通工人和资本主义企业掌舵人之间贫富悬殊、产生巨大利润的时期，建筑师设想现代设计为更公平的未来提供解决方案。罗宾·舒尔登弗莱（Robin Schuldenfrei）揭露了现代主义的乌托邦话语与昂贵品和精英建筑委员会之间的脱节。尽管该运动的口号是平等主义，但许多现代设计都满足了特权个人的愿望。然而，正如Schuldenfrei所证明的那样，昂贵品不仅是现代建筑和物品设计、制造和销售方式的组成部分，也是现代主义在今天的吸引力所在。

While modernism was publicized as a fusion of technology, new materials, and rational aesthetics to improve the lives of ordinary people, it was often out of reach to the very masses it purportedly served. Luxury and Modernism shows how luxury was present in bold, literal forms in modern designs―from lavish materials and costly technologies to deluxe buildings and household objects―and in subtler ways as well, such as social milieus and modes of living. In a period of social unrest and extreme wealth disparity between the common worker and those at the helm of capitalist enterprises generating immense profits, architects envisioned modern designs providing solutions for a more equitable future. Robin Schuldenfrei exposes the disconnect between modernism's utopian discourse and its luxury objects and elite architectural commissions. Despite the movement's egalitarian rhetoric, many modern designs addressed the desires of the privileged individual. Yet as Schuldenfrei demonstrates, luxury was integral not only to how modern buildings and objects were designed, manufactured, and sold, but has contributed to modernism's appeal to this day.
