Seller's Description:
Used-Very Good. In addition to being one of the most recognized places in the world for its long association with celebrities (many of whom live here), Malibu's strikingly beautiful coastline contains a greater concentration of world-class residential architecture than perhaps any other city in the United States, if not the world. This gorgeous book offers a behind-the-scenes view of the most exciting houses built here since 1894, by John Lautner, Richard Meier, and Frank Gehry, among others, presented decade by decade by legendary architectural photographer Julius Shulman and his colleague Juergen Nogai. Shulman, now 94 years old, first came to Malibu in 1929 and, armed with a Vest-Pocket Kodak, started taking pictures of the landscape and wildlife. He continued to visit for the next 75 years, and his personal archive of pictures from those years, a guided tour of houses that, for the most part, have never been shown to the public, forms the heart of this book. Hollywood historian and best-selling author David Wallace contributes an introductory walk through the history of Malibu and its inseparable relationship with Hollywood glamour. This gorgeous book offers a behind-the-scenes view of the most exciting houses built in Malibu since 1894, by John Lautner, Richard Meier, and Frank Gehry, among others, presented decade by decade by legendary architectural photographer Shulman and his colleague Nogai.
