About this Item

New/New: 264 page hardbound, 1st printing of 1st edition book. Review from the Library Journal: "Amazingly, there has been no full-length monograph on this California architect since David Gebhard's Schindler ( LJ 6/15/72). Schindler was one of two important modern architects in Southern California in the first half of the 20th century, the other being Richard Neutra, and his work shares with Neutra's a Viennese flavor. Sheine and March curated the year-long "Schindlerfest" at UCLA in 1987, and this book caps that celebration. Like the last major publication on Schindler, August Sarnitz's R.M. Schindler, Architect: 1887-1953 (Rizzoli, 1988), this generously illustrated volume compiles about 20 essays by noted scholars. While one is reading these various articles, Schindler emerges as far more interesting than important, presaging much of what has emerged as a California school in architecture over the past 25 years. - Peter Kaufman, Boston Coll." Not an ex-library book. Please refer to photos for more information. Binding, spine and pages are tight clean and crisp. Shipping costs depending on weight and location shall need to be verified prior to final price. Thank you.

Amazingly, there has been no full-length monograph on this California architect since David Gebhard's Schindler ( LJ 6/15/72).
