The Work of Architects Olgyay + Olgyay
New York: Reinhold Publishing Corporation, 1952. Cloth. An impressive copy of the uncommon 1952 1st American edition. Clean and Near Fine in a crisp, VG+ example of the Gyorgy Kepes-designed dustjacket, with just a touch of light staining and light creasing along the panel edges. 3" of loss as well to the lower 1/3 of the spine. Yet still attractive and very presentable. Oblong quarto, "a letter of Introduction by Marcel Breuer" plus an additional Introduction about the twins Aladar and Victor Olgyay by Peter Blake. A 1946 Hungarian printing of this monograph was issued (and then suppressed for political reasons). Only after the brother architects emigrated to The States in 1947 (to New York) were Marcel Breuer and Gyorgy Kepes able to help them publish this American edition from unbound sheets smuggled out of Hungary. Near Fine / Very Good +. Item #21499
