Ezra Stoller's iconic photographs of 20th-century architectural masterpieces, such as Frank Lloyd Wright's "Fallingwater" and Mies van der Rohe's "Seagram Building", are often cited in aiding the rise of modernism in America. Stoller elevated architectural photography to an art form, capturing the mood of numerous buildings in their best light. Living and working in New York from the early 1940s to the mid-1970s, Stoller photographed buildings by such architects as Alvar Aalto, Eero Saarinen, Marcel Breuer, Paul Rudolph, and Louis I. Kahn. His striking images earned him the admiration of critics and contemporaries, but few people are aware of the stunning breadth of his oeuvre, which also included domestic and industrial spaces and important editorial depictions of American labour in the 1950s and 1960s. "Ezra Stoller, Photographer", a long-awaited and lavishly illustrated survey of Stoller's artistic accomplishments, examines the photographer's full range with a fresh eye and unprecedented scope, offering a unique commentary on postwar America's changing landscape.

John Morris Dixon is former editor of Progressive Architecture and has written for such publications as Architect, Architectural Record, and Competitions.

"Stoller's photographs, like those of Atget, are evidence for historical occurences: reducing the products of architecture to mere objects, and . . . [making] them transparent, reliable, truthful witnesses to their time."--"Casabella"--Casabella"Casabella" (02/01/2013)
