Oscar Niemeyer

Description

Part of Assouline’s special series, The Ultimate Collection, which is an homage to the art of luxury bookmaking. Books in the collection are hand-bound using traditional techniques, with color plates hand-tipped on art-quality paper; each page of this limited-edition series bears the unique imprint of the artisan. Complimentary white gloves and signature canvas tote bag are included with each purchase from Assouline’s Ultimate Collection.

This hand-bound limited edition is housed in a linen clamshell case and authored by Michael Kimmelman, chief art critic at The New York Times, with images from photographer and longtime friend of Niemeyer, photographer Matthieu Salvaing.

Devoted to Oscar Niemeyer, one of the fathers of modernist architecture, here his legacy is acknowledged and honored in Assouline’s complete and lavish exploration of Niemeyer’s 104-year life and career. Sketches and original photography, alongside contributions from Tadao Ando, Santiago Calatrava, Frank Gehry, and Zaha Hadid, make this volume a testimony to the fantastic, artistic journey he led for the past century.
