JULIUS SHULMAN American, b. 1910 Droste House, designed by R. M. Schindler, built in 1940.
American, b. 1910
Droste House, designed by R. M. Schindler, built in 1940. Gelatin silver print. Image (not examined out of frame), measuring 19 1/4 x 15 1/4 inches (487 x 395 mm), signed in white ink at bottom right by Julius Shulman, dated 1978. Image in excellent condition, framed, matted, and mounted.
Designed by Schindler, an early associate of Frank Lloyd Wright's, this house was built in 1940 for Droste, the Dutch consul.
The photographer Julius Shulman began his career in 1936 with a commission from Richard Neutra, and he is acknowledged as the foremost American photographer of modernist architecture. His archive of negatives is now held by the Getty Institute of Los Angeles. The images in this small group were originally assembled around 1989, for an exhibit in the Silver Lake area of Los Angeles, where many of the structures he photographed stand. The datee in each of these six images appears to refer to the year the photograph was taken, not the year of printing; these images were selected and printed by the photographer in the year preceding the exhibit.
