About this title

Review

"Ezra Stoller is the Annie Leibovitz of modern architecture." "House & Garden" Mr. Stoller, who is considered the century's greatest architectural photographer, has long been admired for his ability to subtly highlight an architect's intentions. Here he accentuates the soaring, swooping geometries of the dramatically sculptural building, enhancing its intended evocations of birds, planes and flight. The images also remind us that although it became a landmark in 1994, time and New Yorkers have not been kind to Saarinen's masterpiece. "New York Times"
