Product Description


About the Book

The abandoned files of architectural photographer Julius Shulman reveal a side of Modernism unseen for years. This completely revised edition compiles more than 600 forgotten photos, which pay tribute to California Modernism. Most of these photos have rarely been seen and many of the buildings are gone, making this book a must for architecture fans.


Book Synopsis

​The buildings burned in our memories, which to us represent the spirit of '50s and '60s architectural design, were those whose pictures were widely published in magazines and books; but what about those that got lost in the process, hardly or never appearing in publication?

The exchange of visual information is crucial to the development, evolution, and promotion of architectural movements. If a building is not widely seen, its photograph rarely or never published, it simply does not enter into architectural discourse. Many buildings photographed by Julius Shulman suffered this fate, their images falling into oblivion. With this book, TASCHEN brings them to light, paying homage to California Modernism in all its forms.

The abandoned files of Julius Shulman show us another side of Modernism that has stayed quiet for so many years. Bringing together nearly 300 forgotten masterpieces, Modernism Rediscovered pays tribute to these lesser known yet outstanding contributions to the modern architectural movement. It's like sneaking into a private history, into homes that have rarely been seen and hardly appreciated as of yet.


Review Quotes


"If buildings were people, those in Julius Shulman's photographs would be Grace Kelly: classically elegant, intriguingly remote."-- "ARTnews"

"Julius Shulman is single-handedly responsible for much of America's love affair with modern architecture."-- "Anthem"
