Hardcover, 464 pages. Original publisher's faux wood boards, lettered orange at the spine and front cover. Copiously illustrated in color and black and white throughout. Text in English, German and French. Many photographs By Julius Shulman. Originally from Vienna, Richard Neutra came to America early in his career, settling in California.
