Ezra Stoller Architectural PhotographyWilliams College Museum of Art (WCMA) will present Ezra Stoller Architectural Photography, on view June 19-December 19, 2004. This exhibition features approximately fifty of Stoller's black and white photographs of famous modern American buildings, including Frank Lloyd Wright's Guggenheim Museum and Edgar Kaufmann house, known as Fallingwater, Mies van der Rohe and Philip Johnson's Seagram Building, Eero Saarinen's TWA Terminal, Paul Rudolph's Yale Art and Architecture Building, and Louis Kahn's Salk Institute. As Paul Goldberger, the former architecture critic of the New York Times, has written, "...[Stoller's] pictures are surely among the most reproduced, and they have in and of themselves played a major role in shaping the public's perception of what modern architecture is all about."
Working at the height of the modernist style in America (from the mid-1940s through the 1960s), Ezra Stoller became one of the preeminent architectural photographers in the world. His exacting attention to detail and unparalleled ability to translate an architect's vision into two dimensions has made his images prized by architects, editors, and collectors. Indeed, he was considered 'the only man for the job' among architects seeking images of their work, including Frank Lloyd Wright, Mies van der Rohe, and Marcel Breuer.
Commentary by Stoller on the architects with whom he worked and information about the conditions he encountered while making the photographs will be
included.
