Philip Johnson: Life and Work
( In this critically acclaimed biography, Franz Schulze p...)
In this critically acclaimed biography, Franz Schulze probes the private and professional life of one of the most famous architects and architectural critics of the twentieth century. The only child of a wealthy Midwestern family, Philip Johnson was a millionaire by the time he graduated from Harvard, and in 1932 he helped stage the historic International Style exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art. A patron of the arts and a political activists who flirted with the politics of Hitler, Huey Long, and Father Coughlin, he went on to create controversial and historical structures such as the Glass House, the Roofless Church, the AT & T Building, the Crystal Cathedral, and many more. Johnson's personal charms paired with his manipulative ploys—like his "borrowing" of designs—shine through in this biography. Drawing on Johnson's correspondence, personal photographs, and speeches, and on interviews with his friends and contemporaries, Schulze fills the biography with fascinating information on the architect's family, travels, friends and lovers, and his many buildings and spaces themselves. Franz Schulze is a professor of art at Lake Forest College. He is the author of Fantastic Images: Chicago Art since 1945, One Hundred Years of Chicago Architecture, and Mies van der Rohe: A Critical Biography.

Fantastic Images; Chicago Art since 1945
(The first serious exploration of recent Chicago Art, this...)
The first serious exploration of recent Chicago Art, this book is especially recommended for those Americans who limit their sites to the east and west coast. In fantastic images, critique Franz Scholz presents the first comprehensive discussion of the body of work which has been called, sometimes affectionately and sometimes disparagingly, the Chicago school of Art. The author considers the works of 28 artists: a diverse group bound together by attitude more than style - by its almost perverse but deliberate inclination to bypass the mainstream of the Paris and New York schools. These artists are not concerned with solving formalist problems. They explore the serial and the fanciful - the fantastic.

Mies van der Rohe: A Critical Biography, New and Revised Edition
( Mies van der Rohe: A Critical Biography is a major rewr...)
Mies van der Rohe: A Critical Biography is a major rewriting and expansion of Franz Schulze’s acclaimed 1985 biography, the first full treatment of the master German-American modern architect. Coauthored with architect Edward Windhorst, this revised edition, three times the length of the original text, features extensive new research and commentary and draws on the best recent work of American and German scholars. The authors’ major new discoveries include the massive transcript of the early-1950s Farnsworth House court case, which discloses for the first time the facts about Mies’s epic battle with his client Edith Farnsworth. Giving voice to dozens of architects who knew and worked with (and sometimes against) Mies, this comprehensive biography tells the compelling story of how Mies and his students and followers created some of the most significant buildings of the twentieth century.
