Kurzbeschreibung
Die Gebäude, die in unserer Erinnerung den Geist der Architektur der 50erund 60er Jahre verkörpern, sind die, deren Abbildungen überall durchMagazine und Bücher verbreitet wurden. Doch was ist mit denen, dieirgendwo auf der Strecke geblieben und kaum oder nie veröffentlichtwurden?Der Austausch von visuellen Informationen ist ausschlaggebend für dieEntwicklung und Förderung von Architekturströmungen. Wenn ein Gebäudenicht weithin bekannt ist und seine Fotos kaum oder nie publiziert werden,so wird es niemals Gegenstand des architektonischen Diskurses werden.Viele der von Julius Shulman fotografierten Bauten erlitten dieses Schicksal -sie wurden vergessen. Mit diesem Buch bringt TASCHEN sie zurück ansLicht und würdigt den kalifornischen Modernismus in all seinen Formen.Das bisher wenig beachtete Archiv von Julius Shulman zeigt uns eine andereSeite des Modernismus, um die es so viele Jahre lang ruhig gewesen ist.Modernism Rediscovered versammelt beinahe 300 vergessene Meisterwerkeund zollt den weniger bekannten, doch hervorragenden Vertretern dermodernen Architekturbewegung Tribut. Es ist, als schleiche man sich in eineprivate Geschichte und in Häuser hinein, die bis jetzt nur seltenwahrgenommen und kaum geschätzt wurden.
Synopsis
This is TASCHEN's 25th anniversary - special edition! It is a new abridged version. The buildings burned in our memories, which to us represent the spirit of fifties and sixties architectural design, were those whose pictures were widely published in magazines and books; but what about those that got lost in the process, hardly or never appearing in publication? The exchange of visual information is crucial to the development, evolution, and promotion of architectural movements. If a building is not widely seen, its photograph rarely or never published, it simply does not enter into architectural discourse. Many buildings photographed by Julius Shulman suffered this fate, their images falling into oblivion. With this book, TASCHEN brings them to light, paying homage to California Modernism in all its forms. The abandoned files of Julius Shulman show us another side of Modernism that has stayed quiet for so many years. Bringing together nearly 250 forgotten masterpieces, "Modernism Rediscovered" pays tribute to these lesser known yet outstanding contributions to the modern architectural movement.It's like sneaking into a private history, into homes that have rarely been seen and hardly appreciated as of yet.

Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
A fittingly huge tribute to the man who captured Modernism in western America and especially in California. I thought the beauty of these three huge books was the way they are organized: historically using Schulman's own job reference numbers. Obviously there is not going to be a photo of every commission because a lot of his time was spent on what he calls 'bread and butter work'. So book 1 starts with #0003 in 1939 with Gregory Ain's Scheyer residence in LA and book 3 ends in 1981 with #5976 Augustin Hernandez's studio in Mexico City. Although Shulman is working again, with German photographer Juergen Nogai, the contents of the three books are based on the 250,000 negatives he presented to the Getty Research Institute upon retiring in 2004.
I get the impression looking through the pages that there maybe more interior photos than exteriors but what a visual treat these interiors are. In photo after photo, there is a sense of spaciousness so typical of most modernist houses and many of the shots are taken to show how rooms extend into other living areas.
The interiors from the Forties to the late Seventies also yield a fascinating opportunity to study the furniture and fittings the owners thought would work well in their modern home. Owing to the large page size some of these domestic interior photos are twenty-three inches wide on a spread so the detail is amazing. Another interesting point about a Shulman photo is the addition of people in his work. Apparently frowned upon at the time by architects but he took the view that it was an opportunity to reduce the purity (and possibly elitism) of Modernism in a domestic setting.
Among all the great home photos commercial work covers corporate headquarters of large companies, schools, research facilities, banks, retail units and restaurants. The same sense of space and depth comes across in these images and I think you'll come to the same conclusion as I did about Shulman's photography: that he always managed to frame his compositions to captured the essence of a building.
The production of the three books is exemplary as you would expect from Taschen. The hundreds of photos are printed on quality paper with a 200dpi screen presented in an elegant but simple layout. Each featured commission has between one and six photos with a short piece of background copy. All of this is a wonderful tribute to a remarkable architectural photographer. I know I'll be enjoying these three books for a long, long time.

Taschen 25 special price edition is 160 pages shorter than 2000 edition
29. August 2010
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Well Taschen does it again -- reissues a book with exactly the same title as a previous book, and reduces the number of pages dramatically. The format is bigger than the previous edition, but the pages have merely been enlarged, with no additional content on each page. So the loss of 160 pages means you are missing many many examples of modern architecture that were previously included. Very disappointing. Also, be aware that there is yet another group of 3 volumes by the same title. Many of the reviews posted here refer to the very expensive 3 volume set. It is very confusing that Taschen publishes multiple books with the same title, but with different content. I recently bought the current edition of Fantasy Worlds, also published by Taschen, only to discover that it too had been trimmed by more than 100 pages.

A bit disappointed
3. März 2011
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I bought this in conjunction with Visual Acoustic, the DVD on Julius Shulman. Though the book is huge, and covers decades of his work, many of his most famous images aren't in here.
