Albert Frey Houses 1 + 2

"Jennifer Golub has combined images from Frey's archive with new photographs of the houses and an interview with the maestro. The effect is an appealing mixture of romanticism and common sense. A pair of drawings illustrate how his crisp forms and sparse detailing accentuate the sharp shadows cast by the desert sun. Frey discusses his choice of colours in straightforward terms ("I used a blue ceiling because it blends with the sky"). This book is less informative than Joseph Rosa's monograph on Frey, also published by Princeton; but every modernist coffee table, suspended, cantilevered, or otherwise, should have one."Golub, Jennifer is the author of 'Albert Frey Houses 1 + 2' with ISBN 9781568981901 and ISBN 1568981902.
