No ownership marks present. Text is clean and free of marks. Binding tight and solid. A fascinating book for followers of both architecture and photography: the first publication of a project that involved two giants of American arts, photographer Aaron Siskind and architect Louis Sullivan, called the father of modernism, and the creator of the skyscraper. In 1952, while Siskind was teaching at Chicago's Institute of Design, he and his advanced photography students undertook a comprehensive photographic survey of Sullivan s architecture, eventually shooting over 60 buildings. From hundreds of photographs, Siskind composed an exhibit of 126 photographs of 35 buildings by Sullivan, who died in 1924. Siskind's exhibit was a documentation of Sullivan s architecture unlike any other - and one that could never be repeated, because so many of Sullivan s buildings were demolished shortly thereafter. More than 50 years later, the photographs are still fresh: Sullivan's buildings are arrested in their decline, their darkened ornament luminous in Siskind's incomparable compositions. EB; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 272 pages .
