About this Item

Rare typed letter signed by the Pritzker Prize-winning architect Robert Venturi. Quarto, one page on Venturi, Scott Brown and Associates 25% cotton stationary, the letter reads in full, 'August 11, 1999 Dear Stephen, At last, enclosed is a sketch [not present] which parallels one I've just made for the Las Vegas AIA! Hope you enjoy it. Very best wishes from us both, "Robert" RV:lp encl. Mr. Stephen S. Prokopoff University of Iowa Museum of Art.' In very good condition. "Their insight and analysis, reasoned back through the history of style and symbolism and forward to the recognition of a new kind of building that responds directly to speed, mobility, the superhighway and changing life styles, is the kind of art history and theory that is rarely produced. The rapid evolution of modern architecture from Le Corbusier to Brazil to Miami to the roadside motel in a brief 40-year span, with all the behavioral esthetics involved, is something neither architect nor historian has deigned to notice" (The New York Times).
