About this Item

Beineke Rare Book and Manuscript Library, Yale University, circa 1964. Architectural framed Photo Blowup mounted on board. 20 x 30 inches framed 22 x 32. Plexiglass and hard black plastic. I removed it for photos because of the glare, but I will ship in the lightweight frame. The building, of Vermont marble and granite, bronze and glass, was designed by Gordon Bunshaft, of the firm of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill. The Beinecke Library opened in October 1963. The building's powerful stone geometry dominates the space it occupies in Hewitt University Quadrangle, flanked by neo-Classical and neo-Gothic buildings. It was the gift of three Yale alumniâ "Edwin J. Beinecke, 1907; Frederick W. Beinecke, 1909; Walter Beinecke, 1910â "and their families, who intended it as "a symbol of the loyalty and devotion of three brothers" and as "a source of learning and an inspiration to all who enter."I believe this image to be by architectural photographer, Ezra Stoller as he published; The Yale Art + Architecture Building: The Building Block and took commissions from Yale on many occasions for his work.
