About the Item
Monograph on eminent Austrian-born Australian architect Harry Seidler, written by eminent American architect, historian, and educator Peter Blake. Seidler (1923-2006) was an early and influential exponent of Bahaus-inflected modernist architecture in Australia, having worked or studied with Walter Gropius and Marcel Breuer at Harvard, Josef Albers at Black Mountain, and Oscar Niemeyer in Rio de Janeiro. Covers both commercial and residential projects from 1946-1973. Published in Australia in 1973 by Horwitz/Wittenborn/Kraemer. 4to (10.25” x 11.25”), hardcover with dust jacket, 264 pages, illustrated throughout, some in color. Inscribed by Seidler on the half-title page to John Entenza, editor of Arts
Architecture Magazine and a pivotal figure in the growth of American modernism, especially via his sponsorship of the Case Study House project. With a signed letter to Entenza laid in on Seidler’s letterhead. A nice copy enhanced by a significant association.

Peter Blake
Peter Blake is widely regarded as the godfather of British Pop art and the Young British Artists movement (YBA).
Blake created paintings, collages and prints that blend modernity and nostalgia. Though best known for designing the album cover for the Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, he considered painting to be central to his oeuvre. While celebrity figures such as Marilyn Monroe informed Blake's work, folk art, fairground signs and an overall sense of nostalgia influenced his style.
In 1997, at the age of 65, Blake emotionally retired from painting and entered what he called his "late period." Afterward, he continued to work but was no longer interested in the art world’s opinion of his art, instead creating what he wanted regardless of its relation to his previous artworks over the course of his career.
