Product Description
Product Description
Art Deco New York takes readers on a historically rich and visually spectacular journey through New York in the early decades of the 20th century, when art deco, with its emphasis on machine-tooled elegance and sleekness of line, replaced the voluptuous beaux-arts style that preceded it. There are dazzling photographs - many never before published - of such art deco icons as Schultze and Weaver's soaring Waldorf Astoria, Jospeh Urban's Zeigfeld Theater and Central Park Casino, and the sky-piercing spire of William Van Alen's Chrysler Building. This book takes a wise, witty, and intimate look at a style that came to New York via Paris in the 1920s and became a quintessential symbol of modernity.

David Garrard Lowe is the author of numerous books, including Stanford White's New York and Beaux Arts New York: The City in the Gilded Years. President of the Beaux Arts Alliance, he is a regular lecturer at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC, and New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art.
