Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Minimally marked ex-library copy with single withdrawn stamp to half-title page; the dust wrapper with spine sticker and bar code label, jacket flaps affixed at pastedowns. Better than GOOD but I hesitate to use VG considering the former library status. The quest to pull together a complete catalogue of their work was first undertaken in 1952 by photographer Aaron Siskind and Richard Nickel, one of his graduate students at what is now the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago. This intense, decades-long labor of love has resulted in an extensive and unique resource that includes a complete listing of all of the buildings and projects undertaken by Adler and Sullivan. Each listing contains historic photographs, architectural plans (when available), and a description of each project. Alongside over two and hundred fifty essays are eight hundred photographs of their buildings many of which have since been demolished including images by Nickel, Siskind, and other noted photographers.

Hardcover with dusjacket, 472 pages, Illustrated. 31x31cm, Good condition. ISBN 9780966027327. An incomparable reference will be treasured by readers interested in architecture, photography, and Chicago's rich history as an architectural mecca. Complete architecture of Adler and Sullivan Louis Sullivan (1856-1924) was a giant of architecture, the father of architectural modernism, and one of the earliest builders of the skyscraper. Along with Dankmar Adler (1844-1900) he designed many of the buildings that defined nineteenth-century architecture not only in Chicago but in cities across America-and continue to be admired today. Among their iconic designs are the former Chicago Stock Exchange, Chicago's Auditorium Building and Carson Pirie Scott flagship store, the Wainwright Building in St. Louis, and the Guaranty Building in Buffalo. This first-of-its-kind catalogue raisonné of the work of Adler and Sullivan-both as a team and individual architects-is a lavish celebration of the designs of these two seminal architects who paved the way for the modern skylines that continue to inspire city dwellers today. The quest to pull together a complete catalogue of their work was first undertaken in 1952 by photographer Aaron Siskind and Richard Nickel, one of his graduate students at what is now the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago. This intense, decades-long labor of love has resulted in an extensive and unique resource that includes a complete listing of all of the buildings and projects undertaken by Adler and Sullivan.
