Photographer Ezra Stoller shaped the world’s understanding of American modernism. His images of midcentury architecture became inseparable from the buildings themselves, showcasing iconic works by masters of their craft – among them, Knoll collaborators Eero Saarinen, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, and Marcel Breuer. This extensive monograph draws from five decades of Stoller's practice, presenting over 450 archival images in exquisite color and duotone black-and-white reproductions, many appearing here for the first time. Authored by architect Pierluigi Serraino, with contributions from Stoller’s daughter, Erica, the 416-page volume (Phaidon, 2019) offers an unparalleled survey of both celebrated landmarks and overlooked masterworks that defined an era.
