Julius Shulman: Palm Springs Special Deluxe Edition Available
We have a unique opportunity for you as an Architecture and Design Council member. In conjunction with the exhibition, Julius Shulman: Palm Springs, held at the Palm Springs Art Museum, the ADC commissioned Julius Shulman and Jurgen Nogai to photograph architecturally significant mid-century modern homes in Palm Springs. Rizzoli International has published a 208-page book co-authored by curator, Michael Stern and architectural historian, Alan Hess. This exhibition is currently on view at the Carnegie Museum of Art from September 19, 2009 to January 31, 2010.
As a Member benefit, we are offering a special deluxe edition to ADC members only. This deluxe edition includes a boxed copy of the book and a choice of one photograph from a limited edition of 100 signed and numbered 16" x 20" color photographs by Julius Shulman and Juergen Nogai.
These are limited edition photographs, 1/20 through 20/20, of five homes in Palm Springs from which to choose:
Alexander Steel Development House, 1961, architecture by Donald Wexler
Burgess House, 1958, architecture by Hugh Kaptur and William Burgess with subsequent additions by Albert Frey.
Dinah Shore House, 1964, architecture by Donald Wexler
Elrod House, 1968, architecture by John Lautner (SOLD OUT)
Sunnylands, Ambassador and Mrs. Walter H. Annenberg House, 1963, architecture by A. Quincy Jones and Frederick E. Emmons
The non-member price for this Julius Shulman: Palm Springs deluxe edition is $5,000 plus tax. However, as an ADC member, you will receive a discounted price of $4,500, plus tax.
We appreciate your support as a member of our council and the Museum and hope that you will take advantage of this once in a lifetime opportunity.
The photographs can be seen by appointment at the Museum. Contact Brooke Devenney at 760.322.4818 or email to reserve your deluxe edition and color photograph today!
