It is impossible to overstate the importance of photography's role in shaping the world's perception of architecture. And towering above the ever-growing crowd of image-makers is Ezra Stoller, an architectural photographer of immeasurable consequence in documenting the history of modern architecture—both known and unknown—in the United States and beyond.

Ezra Stoller is one of the first books to present the breadth of Stoller's largely unseen archive of images, brought to life through exquisite colour and duotone black-and-white reproductions.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

“The photographs of Ezra Stoller (1915-2004) have long been recognised for indelibly communicating the strengths of postwar architecture in the U.S. Now, Ezra Stoller: A Photographic History of Modern American Architecture, by Pierluigi Serraino, expands on our knowledge and appreciation with many rarely seen images.” —Architectural Record

“A new monograph of Stoller's magisterial images of the architecture of the American century.” —The New Yorker Online

“In this powerful retrospective... Serraino argues that the key to such success lay both in Stoller's serious work ethic and his ability to understand an architect's intent for a building and translate it through his lens. This is the perfect volume for both fans of Modernist architecture and general photography alike.” —Publishers Weekly

“In a monumental visual homage to the power of architecture under a lens, this largely black-and-white coffee table tome leaves nothing out.” —Architect's Newspaper

“A new book surveys the stunning work of Ezra Stoller, the most prominent photographer of 20th-century American architecture.” —Architectural Digest Online
