"In Eros, the subtle and profound nuances of the erotic nature of relationships between men and women are explored through a collection of black-and-white photographs that are coupled with inspired, passionate words. Among the photographers whose visions comprise this volume are some of the great masters - Brassai, Imogen Cunningham, Horst, Man Ray, Minor White, Edward Weston - as well as many celebrated contemporary artists - Manuel Alvarez Bravo, Hiro, Annie Leibovitz, Robert Mapplethorpe, Duane Michals, Helmut Newton, and Albert Watson, among others. Deeply involved as they are with the relationship between seeing and feeling, their images take us on a rich visual journey ranging from the eloquent beauty of the human form to the complexity of body language motivated by desire." "This compendium of expressive photographs is accented with a variety of literary selections drawn from the work of writers such as Margaret Atwood, Siv Cedering, John Cleland, E. E. Cummings, Michael Fried, Robert Graves, Erica Jong, D. H. Lawrence, Henry Miller, Anais Nin, Carson Reed, Dylan Thomas, and Walt Whitman. Embracing the spectrum of the erotic experience - from quiet intimacy and meditation to frank lust and reckless abandon - their words highlight the power of Eros not only to thrill and delight but also to uplift and transform."--BOOK JACKET.

"Featuring the international residential, corporate, educational, and institutional work that has positioned the firm among the world's architectural elite, this look at Gwathmey Siegel's thirty-five-year career is unprecedented in its scope and detail. The twenty-six projects documented here with full-color photography, drawings, and insightful project descriptions - including the seminal Gwathmey Residence and Studio (1965), the controversial renovation and addition to Frank Lloyd Wright's Guggenheim Museum (1992), and the David Geffen Company Building in Beverly Hills (2000) - document the evolution of the firm's work from the highly disciplined modernism of their earliest houses to the investigative collage assemblages of their most recent work. This volume reveals the complete Gwathmey Siegel design philosophy and certifies why their work, along with that of Richard Meier, Robert A. M. Stern, Frank Gehry, and Michael Graves, is among American architecture's most important."--BOOK JACKET.
