Julius Shulman & Richard Neutra, Yancey Richardson Gallery, New York - Modernism Defined

Modernism Defined: Julius Shulman & Richard Neutra
Yancey Richardson Gallery, New York
November 11, 2000 - January 6, 2001

Yancey Richardson Gallery announces the opening exhibition at their new Chelsea gallery, "Modernism Defined: Julius Shulman & Richard Neutra". The exhibition is comprised of an extensive selection of vintage photographs of important structures by Richard Neutra, one of the most highly acclaimed architects of the 20th century. Julius Shulman, widely recognized as one of the most important photographers of modernist architecture, took his first architectural image of a Neutra building in 1936. Neutra's enthusiastic response to the photographs helped launch Julius Shulman's career and the two continued to work together for the remainder of Richard Neutra's life. Julius Shulman ultimately photographed 90% of what Richard Neutra built and is credited with interpreting and exporting the ideas of modernism to the rest of the world through his images.

The exhibition celebrates Julius Shulman's 90th birthday and coincides with the release by Taschen of Richard Neutra - Complete Works, a definitive volume on Neutra's work in a large-scale limited edition book, illustrated primarily with Julius Shulman's images. Also this fall, Taschen is publishing Modernism Rediscovered, a book of Julius Shulman's photographs of the work of lesser-known but important modernist architects. 

Concurrent with this exhibition of Julius Shulman's Neutra photographs, Donzella, a gallery of 20th century design, features an exhibition of Julius Shulman's photographs of the interiors of Paul Laszlo, a recently rediscoverd mid-century California designer. Donzella is located at 17 White Street in New York City.
