Julius Shulman
Kaufmann House, Palm Springs

1947

About the Item

Kaufmann House, Palm Springs Architect: Richard Neutra Kodak digital color print Print size: 20" x 24" (50.80 x 60.96) Image size: 15" x 20" (39.10 x 50.8 cm). Shulman's studio stamp and signature on verso. The Kaufmann House was one of the last domestic projects conducted by Neutra, but it is also arguably one of his most famous homes. It is "one of the most important examples of international style architecture in the United States and the only one still under private ownership". Designed to be a vacation home for Edgar Kaufmann and his family, this five bedroom and five bath home has large sliding glass walls that open the house to the outdoors. After being owned by several families, each making their own additions and changes, the home has been restored to its original state. The Kaufmann House was also photographed by Slim Aaron for his well known photograph Poolside Gossip, 1970 Mr. Shulman was part of a postwar generation of commercial architecture photographers who specialized in Modernist buildings, working on assignment for architects and mass-market magazines like Life, House & Garden and Good Housekeeping as well as architecture publications. Among his peers were Ezra Stoller in New York and the Chicago firm of Hedrich Blessing. Over a career of more than half a century, Mr. Shulman almost always used black-and-white film, the better to reduce his subjects to their geometric essentials. But he was also able to make the hard glass and steel surfaces of postwar Modernist architecture appear comfortable and inviting. Working mostly in California, Mr. Shulman staged his photographs as tableaus to promote the idea of casual living in a Modernist context. Carefully composed and artfully lighted, his images promoted not only new approaches to home design but also the ideal of idyllic California living — a sunny, suburban lifestyle played out in sleek, spacious, low-slung homes featuring ample glass, pools and patios.

Lauder would later recall that she was asleep when the ship bringing them to the United States arrived in New York Harbor and her mother woke her up to see the Statue of Liberty During the war years her father worked as a diamond cutter; then the family opened the first of what became a chain of five dress shops in Manhattan.
