Julius Shulman is widely regarded as the most important architectural photographer in history. During his seventy-year career, Shulman not only documented the work of many of the great architects of the 20th century, but he elevated the genre of commercial architectural photography to a fine artform.
Asher Grey Gallery is proud to present the never-before-seen Shulman photographic collection of Everest Hall. In 1996, Hall received the photographs from a Yale School of Art studio clean out sale of a sculpture student who was the son of Shulman's housekeeper. These photographs, taken between 1947-1965, are rare as they exist outside the established Shulman inventory found in the Getty or the Shulman Archives.

About the Artist
Julius Shulman
Throughout his long career, photographer Julius Shulman created one of the most comprehensive visual chronologies of modern architecture and the development of the Los Angeles region. Shulman was born October 10, 1910 in Brooklyn, New York, and moved to Los Angeles, California in 1920. Throughout the 1930s Shulman used an Eastman Kodak Vest-Pocket camera to photograph historical locations in Los Angeles. In 1936 he photographed Richard J. Neutra’s Kun House (Los Angeles, Calif.) and was subsequently asked by Neutra to photograph some of his other projects. Through his relationship with Neutra he was able to secure other architectural photography commissions, documenting the work of such prolific architects as R.M. Schindler, Raphael Soriano, Gregory Ain, J.R. Davidson, John Lautner and Pierre Koenig, as well as many others. Shulman frequently worked with such writers and editors as Esther [Tobey] McCoy, John Entenza, Dan MacMasters, and Barbara Lenox. While he also produced product and furniture photographs for designers, he is most acclaimed for his iconic images of mid-century modern buildings including the Case Study houses of Southern California.
