First edition of what is widely regarded as the definitive scholarly study of Antonio Sant'Elia, the visionary Italian Futurist architect whose unrealized drawings for La Città Nuova helped shape the visual language of twentieth-century modernism and later influenced everything from Archigram to science-fiction cinema. Meyer, a distinguished architectural historian and later professor at Yale, situates Sant'Elia within the broader currents of Italian Futurism while providing the most comprehensive examination of his surviving drawings and projects. Published in 1995 by Yale University Press as part of the Yale Publications in the History of Art series. 4to (8.25” x 10.25”), hardcover with dust jacket, 249 pages, illustrated throughout in color and b/w. From the library of noted architectural historian and NYU Art History Professor Carol Herselle Krinsky, with an ownership signature dated St. Louis, April 20, 1996. Minor bumping to extremities. Light bumping and rubbing to dj. Contents near fine.
