Empire State Building: The Making of a Landmark
January 28, 2015 |
"Although the Empire State Building is no longer the tallest building in the world (or even in New York City), it remains mythical, iconic. This entrancing book is at once an appreciation of the structure as a practical work of art and an exploration of the building's role in the city and the world," a review in The New Yorker reads. Join architectural historian John Tauranac as he shares his research on the development of the skyscraper as a form and discusses the real estate boom of the 1920s New York from his book Empire State Building: The Making of a Landmark, republished this year as a 20th anniversary edition.
Book signing and reception to follow. Co-sponsored by The Art Deco Society of New York (ADSNY).
$15 Museum and ADSNY members; $15 students/seniors; $25 general public.
