Description
This definitive monograph offers the first fullscale architectural appraisal of Bauhaus-trained Marcel Breuer. Isabelle Hyman draws from unpublished archival material, personal photographs, sketches, plans, and exclusive insights from Mrs. Breuers collection. The book is structured in two parts: a richly illustrated biography tracing his evolutionfrom early Bauhaus furniture design through his pivotal modernist architectureand a comprehensive survey of built and unbuilt works spanning 1920s to 1970s. With 295 illustrations (35 in color), it showcases iconic projects like UNESCO Headquarters (Paris), MoMA House-in-the-Garden (NYC), Whitney Museum (later Met Breuer), and Atlanta Central Library
