Julius Shulman. Modernism Rediscovered

€39.90

Many mid‑century modern buildings became iconic through publication, but countless others slipped from view simply because their photographs were never widely circulated. Since architectural influence depends heavily on what is seen and shared, these unseen structures never entered the broader conversation, despite being captured by master photographer Julius Shulman.

Modernism Rediscovered brings nearly 300 of these forgotten works back into the light, revealing a hidden side of California Modernism that remained untouched for decades. The collection opens a window into private histories and overlooked masterpieces, celebrating their quiet brilliance and restoring them to the story of modern architecture.

Product description

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.

MEDIA REVIEWS

“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
