''A&A' was instrumental in putting American Architecture on the map.'From the end of World War II until the mid-1960s; exciting things were happening in American architecture: emerging talents were focusing on innovative projects that infused low-cost materials and modern design. This trend was most notably incarnated in the famous Case Study House Program; which was championed by the era's leading American journal; 'Arts & Architecture'. Focusing not only on architecture but also design; art; music; politics; and social issues; 'A&A' was an ambitious and groundbreaking publication; largely thanks to the inspiration of John Entenza; who ran the magazine for over two decades until David Travers became publisher in 1962.The era's greatest architects were featured in 'A&A'; including Neutra; Schindler; Saarinen; Ellwood; Lautner; Eames; and Koenig; and two of today's most wildly successful architects; Frank Gehry and Richard Meier; had their debuts in its pages.'A&A' was instrumental in putting American architecture - and in particular California Modernism - on the map. Other key contributors to the magazine include photographers Julius Shulman and Ezra Stoller; writers Esther McCoy and Peter Yates; and cover designers Herbert Matter and Alvin Lustig; among many luminaries of modernism.This collection comes with ten boxes; each containing a complete year's worth of 'Arts & Architecture' magazines from 1945-1954.
