Ezra Stoller: A Photographic History of Modern American Architecture by Pierluigi Serraino

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.
