Ezra Stoller, a Photographic History of Modern American Architecture

About the Item

A captivating history of 20th century Modern American architecture, as seen through the eyes of a legendary photographer It is impossible to overstate the importance of photography's role in shaping the world's perception of architecture. And towering above the ever-growing crowd of image-makers is Ezra Stoller, an architectural photographer of immeasurable consequence in documenting the history of modern architecture - both known and unknown - in the United States and beyond. This book is one of the first to present the breadth of Stoller's largely unseen archive of images, brought to life through exquisite color and duotone black-and-white reproductions. Pierluigi Serraino is a practicing architect, author, and educator based in the San Francisco Bay Area. He has lectured on architectural photography, digital design, and California Modernism at numerous universities, institutions, and museums, and in 2013 was the co-recipient with Karla Britton of the Graham Foundation grant on the architectural photography of Robert Damora. His writings and projects have appeared in the publications Architectural Record, Artforum, Architectural Design, A+U (Japan) and Abitare among others. He is the author of several books, including Modernism Rediscovered (2000), NorCalMod: Icons of Northern California Modernism (2006), and The Creative Architect (2016), and co-author of California Captured (Phaidon, 2018).
