in detail at all the houses furniture and public buildings he designed in Europe and the
United States - from his beginning at the Bauhaus through his collaboration with Walter Gropius
and the establishment of his own practice in the USA. Written by acclaimed architect and writer
Robert McCarter the first edition of this book was described as a 'serious study' (Financial
Times) that would help in 'realigning Breuer's position in the canon of modern masters' (TLS).
The complete monograph on the last of the first generation of Modernist architects Breuer is
the only book that examines both his design as well as his architecture with detailed
descriptions of his work - including commercial residential furniture and unrealized
projects including all of his iconic furniture (such as the Wassily and Cesca chairs) and
buildings (including the UNESCO Headquarters in Paris and the Whitney Museum in New York). Back
in print due to popular demand this new edition has a beautiful new cover featuring the global
headquarters of Sotheby's in New York.
