About the Work

Oscar Niemeyer, one of the founding figures of modernist architecture, is commemorated in Assouline's meticulously crafted limited-edition Ultimate Collection volume. As a towering influence on 20th- and 21st-century architecture, Niemeyer's enduring legacy is celebrated and paid homage to in Assouline's comprehensive and opulent exploration of his remarkable 104-year life and career.

Niemeyer's ascent to prominence began alongside Le Corbusier, but he ultimately veered away from the rigid, straight lines of conventional modernism. Instead, he carved a distinct path that echoed the ebbs and flows of human emotions through his sweeping curves, graceful arches, and sensuous lines. Using reinforced concrete as his medium, he elevated the ordinary to the extraordinary. This book, adorned with sketches and original photography, and featuring contributions from architectural luminaries such as Tadao Ando, Santiago Calatrava, Frank Gehry, and Zaha Hadid, stands as a testament to the extraordinary artistic journey Niemeyer embarked upon over the past century.

Every purchase from Assouline's Ultimate Collection includes complimentary white gloves and a signature canvas tote bag.
