ASSOULINE IS PROUD TO ANNOUNCE
PORTRAITS OF THE NEW ARCHITECTURE
USA- Assouline Publishing, the illustrated book publishing house behind such insightful and artistic titles as Linda Fargo's Dreams through the Glass, Oberto Gili's The Luxury of Space, Matthieu Salvaing’s Oscar Niemeyer, and Gabriel Bauret’s Alexy Brodovitch will release Portraits of the New Architecture by Richard Schulman with an introduction by Paul Goldberger. Through the brilliant photography of Richard Schulman and an insightful introduction by New Yorker critic Paul Goldberger, Portraits of the New Architecture celebrates the 50 architects who have reinvented architecture in the 20th and 21st centuries. From Philip Johnson and I.M Pei to SHoP and Daniel Libeskind, this extraordinary book emphasizes the magnetism of the architects as well as their creations. With highly personalized representations of the architects themselves and images and design plans of their best work, the book explores the architect-as-superstar phenomenon: What does it mean that architecture today has become a style statement?
