Book
Trade Paperback. Condition: New. This remarkable book presents twenty-five of the most renowned and significant buildings of America's premier architect, from his early Prairie work at Oak Park, Illinois, in the 1890s to his daring creations of the 1940s and 1950s. Published in association with the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, this superbly illustrated volume features unpublished photographs for which renowned architectural photographers Michael Freeman and Paul Rocheleau gained unprecedented access to some of Wright's masterworks. The book examines in unsurpassed detail a selection of Wright's architecture that covers the phenomenal range of his work, including such internationally famous buildings as the Home and Studio in Oak Park, Taliesin West in Scottsdale, Arizona, Fallingwater in Mill Run, Pennsylvania, and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York, as well as several lesser-known residences such as the Auldbrass Plantation in South Carolina and the Kenneth Laurent house in Rockford, Illinois. The works featured here are succinctly documented by one of Wright's former apprentices, with text that details the development and execution of each commission. Also included throughout is a selection of Wright's extensive writings, unpublished talks, and private letters. 'Frank Lloyd Wright: Master Builder' takes the reader on a rich journey into Wright's world and fully demonstrates how Frank Lloyd Wright's vision completely changed the course of American architecture. This superbly illustrated volume, an updated and condensed version of the highly successful 'Frank Lloyd Wright: Masterworks', offers stunning yet accessible visual documentation of the architect's renowned oeuvre. Approximately 25 of Wright's most recognized and significant projects are featured, as well as numerous important private residences rarely seen by devoted Wright followers. 200 color illustrations.

Book
Hardcover. Condition: New. Stephen Gan, the mastermind behind Visionaire, the most exclusive fashion and art magazine in the world, welcomes in the new millennium with 'Visionaire's Fashion 2001.' This sleek volume (7 x 16') dares to display the unique thinking of fashion's revolutionary designers.'In fashion,' Gan explains, 'the term 'avant-garde' is often used euphemistically, a nicer way of saying 'weird, ' or commercially unviable, or just plain difficult.' From a quick glimpse at these designs (many of which were created exclusively for this book, 'as an exercise in self reflection,' Gan says), it is evident that the avant-garde is not for everyone. Rather, it is for those whose style carries them beyond the boundaries defining 'fashion.' Unrestricted by contemporary codes for clothing like 'comfort,' 'casual,' and, let's face it, 'clich,' the designers featured here are like fresh air when compared to the often stale, recycled lines of more popular designers. With Stella McCartney at Chloe and Nicolas Ghesquiere at Balenciaga, the fringe is moving towards the center. And, though some of the designers-Alain Tondowski, Stephen Jones, Christian Laboutin-are well known, the majority are not. 'Well, that's the point,' says Gan. 'In the grand scheme of fashion, many of these designers register only as small blips.but if you measure these designers not in terms of sales but in terms of their ideas and the passion and dedication they bring to what they do, their impact is incalculable. Their work is at once inspired and inspiring.' With photographs by Mario Testino, Inez van Lamsweerde, Vinoodh Matalin, Sean Ellis, and Marcus Mann, this tribute to originality profiles 65 cutting-edge designers fromaround the globe. From the drama of the clothes to the captivating photos, 'Visionaire's Fashion 2001' is for those in the know-and if you don't know, now you do. From 'Visionaire', fashion's most courageous and inspired publisher, comes this essential survey of the generation of designers that guides fashion now and of the younger generation that will be taking fashion into the next millennium. More than 70 designers are profiled, including Donna Karan, Calvin Klein, Christian Lacroix, Helmut Lang, and Marc Jacobs. 200 illustrations.
