Power in Buildings
by Hugh Ferriss
A welcome republication of a scarce title from America's greatest architectural draftsman. First published in 1953 and long out of print, the sixty bold drawings and informed text trace Ferriss's personal odyssey through the modern architecture of America from 1929 to 1953. Dams, bridge anchorages, grain elevators, skyscraper projects, and viaducts are delineated in Ferriss's rich and somewhat brooding chiaroscuro style, while he surprises us with illustrations of such landmarks as the Johnson Wax building, Taliesin West, Lever House, and the then-unbuilt United Nations Headquarters.
Arts & Architecture
by
John Entenza (1903-1984) was one of the pivotal figures in the growth of modernism in California. During his editorship, the magazine "Arts & Architecture" championed all that was new in the arts, with special emphasis on emerging modernist architecture in Southern California. Entenza's most lasting contribution was his sponsorship of the Case Study Houses project, which featured the works of architects such as Charles Eames, Craig Ellwood, Pierre Koenig, Richard Neutra, and William Wurster. "Arts & Architecture" also ran articles and interviews on artists and designers such as Jackson Pollock, Robert Motherwell, George Nakashima, George Nelson, and many other ground-breakers.
Art & Enterprise
by Donald C. Peirce
This beautifully designed book documents the development of one of the premier museum presentations of 19th and early 20th century decorative art. The collection is known for works by America's design leaders, including the Herter Brothers, Frank Lloyd Wright, Tiffany and Rookwood Pottery, as well as lesser-known makers. Documentary photographs relating to production, advertising, expositions and usage provide vivid contexts for the subjects and the catalogue includes marks and descriptions, making this a useful reference for antique dealers, collectors and curators.
