JOSEPH URBAN

JOSEPH URBAN JOHN LORING Book Number: 78647 Product format: Hardback Joseph Urban began his career as an architect and artist of the Hagenbund, an offshoot of the Vienna Secession movement. He moved to America in 1911 and became the Art Director of the Boston Opera, moving in 1914 to New York to design stage sets for the Ziegfeld Follies. Two years later he was signed on as Principle Set Director of the Metropolitan Opera. He also designed theatres, department stores, hotel ball rooms, nightclubs, furniture and even Hollywood film sets. In 1922 he opened a Wiener Werkstätte showroom on Fifth Avenue where he introduced such great Viennese artists as Gustav Klimt and Egon Schiele to America for the first time. His versatility as an artist is evident in his broad range of styles - Symbolist, Art Nouveau, Secessionist, Art Deco and Modernist - in which he was extraordinarily gifted. Little remains today except the Paramount Theatre in Palm Beach and the base of the Hearst Tower in New York. This beautifully illustrated and very lavish heavyweight tome is a tribute, packed with more than 200 colour illus culled from the archives of a rare book collection. Interiors from glamorous apartments with huge mirrors and sofas, set models for 'Flying High', drawings for department stores, the lobby at the St. Regis Hotel New York, drawings for murals for a rooftop restaurant in Brooklyn or for a ball room and with images of Urban's pet macaws, book illustrations, contemporary photos and more. A glamorous Abrams art book, 224 very large pages. Published price: £29.99 Bibliophile price: £15.00
