It was estimated that over 125 million pieces of his 'stove to table' ware, plastic dishes, and "Spun Aluminum" kitchenware were in use in American homes. His 'American Modern' lines of furniture and dinnerware were all highly popular in their day, but now they are becoming rare. Collectors and dealers snap up whatever Wright accessories they can, and when Andy Warhol, one of the most avid Wright collectors was asked how he came to be a Wright fan he remarked, 'who's good after him?' This survey of his work establishes Wright as the designer who was most responsible for the shift in taste that made domestic products with a 'modern look' popular in the late 1930s. It documents a career of extraordinary range, from the 'Blonde' line of furniture commissioned by Nordiska to the juke boxes Wright designed for Wurlitzer, from vinyl seat covers that looked like vinyl rather than fake leather to an aluminum evening wrap. The fifty photographs in the book-ten in color-illustrate his most important work: fabrics, lamps, glass, china, flatware, desks, pianos, radios, ceramics, glassware, chairs, and machinery. Social historian and critic Russell Lynes remembers Wright as 'the answer for those of us who were brought up to accept the Bauhaus doctrine as announcing the design wave of the present and hope of the future, but who could not afford to buy the expensive imports of Le Corbusier and Mies van der Rohe and Marcel Breuer . . . Our was, I assure you, no small clique. We were part of the mass market for which Wright designed and proud of it.'" - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: Foreword, by Russell Lynes; Russel Wright: American designer, by William J.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Takes you on eight fascinating walks along Manhattan's Hudson waterfront, with stops along the way to explore its architecture, infrastructure, and history.Through eight structured walks from Battery Park to Spuyten Duyvil, Along the Hudson tells the story of the rise, decline, and rebirth of Manhattan's Hudson waterfront from the seventeenth century to the present day. It traces the ongoing evolution of the Hudson shoreline from a gritty line of working docks into a desirable residential enclave and a chain of inviting parks. Along the way special attention is paid to notable buildings both historical and contemporary, to key transportation infrastructure, and to seminal historic events and personalities that shaped New York's dynamic relationship with the river that is its reason for being. Some of the many sites readers will explore include:At the foot of Pearl Street, the Wireless Operators Memorial (1915) honors radio operators who died at sea. Jack Phillips, radio man on the Titanic, is the first name listed.Westbeth, a five-building complex filling the entire square block along West Street between Bank and Bethune Streets. Once home to Bell Labs, the site was converted to provide housing and workspace for artists, writers, and performers.Anna Hyatt Huntington's statue of Joan of Arc at 96th Street honors the French saint. Its gothic pedestal contains stones from the jail cell where Joan was imprisoned. Depicting a female hero sculpted by a female artist, this monument inspired many copies erected across the country.Next to the George Washington Bridge, at 178th Street, stands Jeffrey's Hook Lighthouse, which inspired a children's book entitled The Little Red Lighthouse and the Great Gray Bridge.

sewn PAPERBACK, very good, has a slight creak or warp. HENNESSEY, WILLIAM J. Walking Broadway: thirteen miles of architecture and history. New York, New York: The Monacelli Press, 2020, 239pp., . "Walking Broadway offers readers an architectural tour of the entire length of Broadway from Bowling Green to the Harlem River. Through fourteen structured walks the book not only presents the history of New York's most famous avenue, but also explores its architecture in depth, block by block, building by building. This is a book about what can be seen and experienced on Broadway today. Buildings are chosen for discussion first and foremost because they are interesting to look at. In a relaxed and engaging style, the author presents the building's story, explores the reasons why it is there, and explains why it looks the way it does. Along the way, the reader not only has the chance to discover fascinating and unusual buildings, but also gains a comprehensive understanding of the historic, social, economic, and political forces which shaped Broadway's growth and character".
