Description
This detailed monograph, published by Phaidon, presents an in-depth examination of Marcel Breuer (1902-1981), a central figure in modernist design and architecture. Authored by Robert McCarter, an expert in architecture, the book meticulously explores Breuer’s extensive portfolio, which encompasses residential, commercial, and furniture designs executed in Europe and the United States. From his early days at the Bauhaus to his later collaborations with Walter Gropius and the establishment of his practice in the U.S., this publication covers the entirety of his career.
“Breuer” delves into both his architectural projects and his furniture designs, providing comprehensive insights into his creative process and output. It features all of Breuer’s significant works, including his innovative furniture like the Wassily and Cesca chairs, as well as notable buildings such as the UNESCO Headquarters in Paris and the Whitney Museum in New York. This edition, reissued due to high demand, includes all of his iconic designs and offers precise descriptions that focus on the practical aspects of his work, how it complements various interior styles, and its impact on contemporary design.
The book is designed to cater to both enthusiasts of modernist architecture and practitioners in the field, offering a clear, structured layout that enhances reader understanding and engagement. Its updated cover features the global headquarters of Sotheby’s in New York, showcasing Breuer’s enduring influence on modern architectural aesthetics.
