Summary:"Ely Jacques Kahn (1884-1972), preeminent twentieth-century architect of commercial buildings, was one of the most prolific architects in New York City. While his career spanned nearly half a century, his most widely known work is associated with the 1920s building boom in New York City in which the setback skyscraper emerged as a potent symbol of modern America. Ely Jacques Kahn, Architect is the first major critical study of his work and surveys his immense output. Kahn's buildings help define the rugged skyline of New York, one of the most recognized symbols of American democracy and free enterprise today."--Jacket.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 276 pages; Clean and tight in original blue binding in bright fresh dustjacket. Notes. Selected bibliography. Index. Prolific illustrations. Contents: Introduction; The Shaping of an American Architect; Ecole des Beaux-Arts, Paris, 1907-11; Homecoming: Buchman & Kahn, The Early Years, 1917-1921; Building Boom: Garment District Developers and Design, 1921-25; Toward an American Modernism, 1925-28; Skyward: The Major Works, 1928-31; The 1930s: New Challenges and Opportunities; Kahn and Jacobs, 1940-1950; and From Midtown to Wall Street, 1950-1965. Ely Jacques Kahn (1884-1972), preeminent 20th century architect of commercial buildings, was one of the most prolific architects in New York City. While his career spanned nearly half a century, his most widely known work is associated with the 1920s buiding boom in New York City, where three dozen of his buildings still exist. Kahn was in the last wave of Americans to attend the Ecole des Beaux-Arts at the acme of its influence in America. Considered progressive, but not radical, he heralded artistic freedom, yet adhered to Beaux-Arts methodology throughout his career. An early exponent of polychrome building facades, Kahn evolved an abstract, geometric decorative style and was inspired by such diverse sources as the machine and exotic cultures. Authors: Jewel Stern and John A. Stuart were co-curators with Janet Parks of an exhibition on Ely Jacques Kahn at the Wallach Art Gallery, Columbia University (2006). Jewel Stern is an artist, art historian, and independent curator. John Stuart is associate professor of Architecture at Florida International University.

One of the fabled "three Napoleons" of New York (with Raymond Hood and Ralph Walker) yet almost unknown today, Ely Jacques Kahn had a nearly half-century career and some three dozen of his buildings still grace the New York cityscape. Trained at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, he was known for his modern polychrome decoration and setback skyscrapers. Jewel Stern and John A. Stuart were co-curators with Janet Parks of an exhibition on Kahn at the Wallach Art Gallery, Columbia University (2006). Jewel Stern is an artist, art historian, and independent curator. John Stuart is a tenured Distinguished University Professor in Florida International University's College of Architecture + The Arts and Executive Director of the FIU School of Architecture Miami Beach Urban Studios. Stuart's research interests are in all aspects of architectural design, history, preservation, infrastructure, economies, and production. Ely Jacques Kahn (June 1, 1884 - September 5, 1972) was an American commercial architect who designed numerous skyscrapers in New York City in the twentieth century. In addition to buildings intended for commercial use, Kahn's designs ranged throughout the possibilities of architectural programs, including facilities for the film industry. Many of the buildings he designed under the 1916 Zoning Resolution feature architectural setbacks to keep the building profitably close to its permitted "envelope"; these have been likened to the stepped form of the Tower of Babel. Kahn is also known for his guidance to author Ayn Rand. As research for The Fountainhead, author Ayn Rand worked in Kahn's office, where Kahn arranged for her to meet Frank Lloyd Wright. Kahn, who had taken full control of the practice of Kahn & Buchman in 1930, as Ely Jacques Kahn Architects, produced some commercial skyscrapers that combined traditional massing with a skin pared of all details, such as the 42-storey Continental Building (1931) at Broadway and West 41st Street. For the New York Stock Exchange Building annex into 20 Broad Street, Kahn & Jacobs created additional facilities in 1956 designed with their characteristic zig-zag of setbacks in the upper stories. Kahn's work just after World War II had direct relevance to Judaism. In 1946, he began a renovation of Manhattan's Central Synagogue. In 1947, he wrote on the subject of design principles for synagogues in an article entitled, "Creating a Modern Synagogue Style: No More Copying." In 1948, with sculptor Jo Davidson, Kahn made the first public plan for a Holocaust memorial in the United States. The chosen site for this project in Riverside Park later bore other projects for memorials by Percival Goodman, and Erich Mendelsohn. Although Kahn retired some years earlier, the firm of Kahn & Jacobs lasted until 1973, the year after Kahn's death. First Edition [Stated], First Printing [Stated].
