The authoritative study of the life and career of renowned modernist architect Richard Neutra. Richard Neutra's work, his life experience, and his search for modern architecture coincided neatly with the lifespan of the modern movement. He experienced the buoyant struggles of the movement's early years, the heady excesses of mid-century ascendancy, and the strains of its slow demise, and his reputation has lately enjoyed a resurgence that was hard to predict when "Richard Neutra and the Search for Modern Architecture" was first published over twenty years ago.
