		The Idea of Louis Sullivan
				Art
		John Szarkowski
		Thames & Hudson 2000 162 pages		Qty
		Hardback Illustrated 0500341796 303x230mm
		Published Price £39.95		Sale Price £9.99
	In the early 1950s, long before he became famous as a curator and critic of photography, John Szarkowski made a portfolio of photographs of buildings Louis Sullivan had constructed in Chicago around 1900. With the encouragement of Frank Lloyd Wright, himself a protege of Sullivan, Szarkowski completed the work, photographing all the major buildings and accompanying them with a profile of the architect and excerpts from his writings on architecture and modern society. This is a new edition of that work, updated in design and with new duotone reproductions.

		Jake Morrissey

	The rivalry between the brilliant 17th century Italian architects Gianlorenzo Bernini and Francesco Borromini is the stuff of legend. Possessed of enormous talent and ambition, these two artists - one trained as a sculptor, the other as a stonemason - met in St Peter's in Rome in 1624, both working on the Baldacchino. The hostility that began over that great emblem of the Baroque would only end with Borromini's suicide. In this meticulously researched book, Morrissey tells the story of the architects' epic rivalry, and of their individual artistic achievements. American-cut pages.
