Crump, James

While in its focus on two Breuer clients, this book pairs well with Leonard Eaton’s Two Chicago Architects and Their Clients, Crump’s film tells a more compelling story of self-indulgent libertines who nonetheless became patrons of important work. Joachim Driller’s Breuer Houses (more comprehensively illustrated with floor plans) offers a deeper architectural understanding, but used in tandem with Syracuse University’s Digital Archive, Crump’s book is a worthy addition to larger architecture collections.

The best book on Evans in years, this will appeal to photography pundits.
