This very elaborate Folio (with flaps) catalog of a dual 1987 exhibition is wonderful in its Chutzpah. The cover is of Pyle's Pirates, the contents are well illustrated, and the notations re. the exhibit are exceptional. Pocketed in the back are eight copies of Pyle's paintings on stiff paper, and another booklet, 'Exhibition Checklist.' For enthusiasts of Pyle and/or the Brandywine School, this is an essential addition to your collection. View More...
This notable Synagogue at Tel Aviv University was endowed by Norbert Cymbalista because, as he said, this university is "the only place in the world where 30,000 Jews had no place for prayer." Ergo, with the great help of Mario Botto, there is now such a place -- and it is remarkably beautiful. This small volume will not only reveal to you this place of prayer, but also give you some insight into the work of this wonderful architect. Great affordable gift. Mint condition. View More...

Get it quick. View More...

This is the catalog of an exhibit in Tokyo in 1984, and it reveals the remarkable ability of Botta to envision in his drawings, the almost completed project. The foreword says, his "drawing characterizes, without any doubt, an invasion of the form and not the cutting apart of a constantly diversifiable world." A great addition to your library, and a great insight into the remarkable work of this very gifted Italian architect. Gift anyone? View More...
