Julius Shulman Book order

New and vintage photography of America’s modernist architectural mecca. A visionary artist who has achieved worldwide fame, Julius Shulman transformed architectural photography. From his earliest photographs to those taken today, his work demonstrates a profound sensitivity to and appreciation for the spaces in which people live. These spaces, as seen through his lens, are at once luminous and profoundly shadowed, becoming spaces of intrigue and extraordinary beauty into which the observer longs to enter. This volume focuses on Shulman’s Chicago work. This town is America’s First City of Architecture, and its modern architecture is the ideal subject for Shulman’s lens. Featured here are the elegantly modern Minsk House, designed by Keck & Keck in 1955; the 1960 Burton Frank House, a mid-century modern gem; architect Harry Weese’s inspired modernist home and studio of 1957; and many other modern masterpieces.

Julius Shulman (1910 – 2009), einer der größten Architekturfotografen unserer Zeit, ist weltweit mit Architekturaufnahmen aus der Nachkriegszeit und der Kennedy-Ära bekannt geworden. Shulman setzte nicht nur Standards in der modernen Architekturfotografie und arbeitete für die bedeutendsten Architekten seiner Zeit, sondern definierte einen vorher unbekannten Stil der Architekturfotografie. Neben seinem Blick für klare Kompositionen verwendete er gezielt Inszenierungen, um seine Bilder atmosphärischer zu gestalten. Die Architekturfotografie wird nicht länger als Illustration von Architekturgeschichte verstanden, vielmehr als eigenständiges Bildmedium mit weitreichenden Funktionen. Im Jahr 2000 begannen der deutschstämmige Fotograf Jürgen Nogai (*1953) und Julius Shulman eine fruchtbare Zusammenarbeit, die fast eine Dekade, bis zu Shulmans Tod, währen sollte. Gemeinsam entwickelten sie ihren einzigartigen Stil der Architekturfotografie weiter, arbeiteten an Projekten und publizierten in Büchern und Magazinen. Das vorliegende Buch erscheint zum 100. Geburtstag von Julius Shulman und zeigt Arbeiten aus der fast zehnjährigen Zusammenarbeit der beiden Fotografen, viele davon sind zum ersten Mal in Buchform veröffentlicht.

The pioneering project that sought to bring modernism to the masses The Case Study House program (1945–1966) was an exceptional, innovative event in the history of American architecture and remains to this day unique. The program, which concentrated on the Los Angeles area and oversaw the design of 36 prototype homes, sought to make available plans for modern residences that could be easily and cheaply constructed during the postwar building boom. Highly experimental, the program generated houses that were designed to redefine the modern home, and thus had a pronounced influence on architecture—American and international—both during the program`s existence and even to this day. This compact guide includes all projects featured in our XL version, with over 150 photos and plans and a map of where all houses are (or were) located.
