Chicago: Photographs by Santi Visalli

1990

Hardcover. Great Condition. Full Color.

“Santi Visalli is transfixed by the works of a new generation of the Chicago School of Architecture, writes award-winning television journalist Bill Kurtis in his foreword to Chicago. In the past two decades he notes, the city has “added a special meaning to its own best invention—the skyscraper.” It has “a building that reaches higher than any other in the world,” and in the shadow of that building there is “a translucent cavern whose government workers cluster on open ledge slope cave dwellers seeking shelter from winter storms.” Visalli's photographs “depict a city we knew was there but not not seen so clearly before.”

Great coffee table book. Big and printed well!
