A rich collection of artworks and archival images documents the couple’s domestic and social lives and the fellow artists and writers who made up their world. Alongside her introduction, notes by their daughter Musa Mayer provide valuable context to her mother’s writings.Complementing Mayer’s own celebrated memoir Night Studio (1988), Life with P. is an extraordinary window into McKim’s singular experience of the world.
