L.A. Modern

New York: Rizzoli International Publications. Near Fine in Fine dj. 2008. First Edition. Hardcover. [a nice fresh as-new copy (had been in publisher's original shrinkwrap until opened to confirm publication info), with the only blemishes being a tiny dent in the bottom edge of the front cover and an extremely slight bump to the bottom front corner, the apparent results of some careless handling somewhere along the line (before it got into my hands); NOTE that what appears, in the scanned image accompanying this listing, to be a slight bend in the top edge of the front cover is a function of our scanner, and that the book itself has no such flaw)]. (color photographs) "Celebrating the quintessential modernism of Los Angeles, this gloriously oversize book pays homage to the seminal architecture of Southern California. Acclaimed architecture and design photographer Tim Street-Porter captures the best Modernist architecture of Los Angeles, from the seminal Neutra houses to the idiosyncratic structures by Frank Gehry. With iconic buildings by Craig Ellwood, Pierre Koenig, John Lautner, Charles and Ray Eames, and Oscar Niemeyer, among others, [the book] presents the full spectrum of Los Angeles modernism in gorgeous new color photography." **** NOTE that additional shipping fees will be requested for international shipping of this heavy book, or for Priority Mail service to U.S. destinations.
