ARTstor: New collection agreement

Coming soon to ARTstor will be the archive of architectural photographer Julius Shulman (1910–2009). This archive will span his career from 1936 to 1997 and documents the development of modern architecture in Southern California. Shulman's most famous work is the photograph for Case Study House No. 22, the Stahl House designed by architect Pierre Koenig. In this seminal image, two stylish women are shown chatting in a living room as the glass-walled, cantilevered structure of the house juts out over the side of Laurel Canyon, revealing the bright lights and street grid of Los Angeles below.

Over the course of his career, Shulman created one of the most comprehensive visual records of the development of modern architecture within the urban fabric of Los Angeles and the changing landscape of Southern California. The collection in ARTstor will represent highlights from the Julius Shulman photography archive, which comprises more than 260,000 negatives, prints, transparencies, and related printed material.
