Julius Shulman: Chicago Midcentury Modernism Details
Review "While the book is a fitting tribute to the photography of the great Julius Shulman, who died last year, it’s equally significant as a document of the rich local legacy of midcentury design and a growing grassroots movement to save it from replacement by the onslaught of starter castles and piccoli palazzi." ~Architect's Newspaper"We can’t resist another volume of new and vintage photos -- these of America's Bauhaus architectural mecca -- from the photographer who resided in L.A. before his death last year." ~Los Angeles Magazine Read more About the Author Julius Shulman has been documenting the most important achitecture of our time for more than seventy years, and his work is published and exhibited widely. Gary Gand is a sound engineer based in Chicago. He helped found the architecture preservation organization Chicago Bauhaus & Beyond to protect houses designed by the architectural firm of Keck & Keck. Read more
Reviews
I absolutely love this book. The photography is top notch and the history is educational. If you are a Midcentury fan, this would make the perfect coffee table book or inspiration for your next restoration project. I was fortunate to meet the Gands at a Chicago Bauhaus meeting, and they are exceptional people. I purchased my Midcentury home in 2016; imagine my surprise when I learned the home was featured in the book and the back cover! Better get your copy before I buy them all out. ;-)
