Breuer

Breuer is a monograph on the architect and designer Marcel Breuer (1902 to 1981), covering the houses, furniture and public buildings he designed in Europe and the United States. It follows his career from the Bauhaus through his collaboration with Walter Gropius to the founding of his own practice in the USA.

Written by the architect and writer Robert McCarter, it treats design and architecture together, with commercial, residential and unrealised projects, furniture such as the Wassily and Cesca chairs, and buildings including the UNESCO Headquarters in Paris and the Whitney Museum in New York. Back in print, this new edition carries a cover showing the Sotheby's headquarters in New York. Hardback, 456 pages, 500 illustrations.
