Seller Comments: First Printing of the highly controversial architectural monograph by the traditionalist architect, Leon Krier. 245 Folio, sewn binding in burgundy cloth with paper mounted title to front cover and gilt stamped spine lettering. Fore tail corner just a bit nudged, exceedingly clean and sharp otherwise. 'Architect Leon Krier asks, 'Can a war criminal be a great artist?' Speer, Adolf Hitler's architect of choice, happens to be responsible for one of the boldest architectural and urban oeuvres of modern times. First published in 1985 to an acute and critical reception, this title is a lucid, wide-ranging study of an important neoclassical architect. Yet is is simultaneously much more: a philosophical rumination on art and politics, good and evil. . Krier candidly confronts the great difficulty of disentangling the architecture and urbanism of Albert Speer from its political intentions. Krier bases his study on interviews with Speer just before his death. The projects presented center on his plan for Berlin, an unprecedented modernization of the city intended to be the capital of Europe' (publisher's blurb for the reissue). In his review of the reissue in Architect Magazine, Ned Cramer writes, 'Krier's enthusiasm for Speer was (and still is) controversial. His position: The Nazis spoiled classicism for the rest of us, in an unfair case of guilt by association. "Classical architecture was implicitly condemned by the Nuremberg tribunals to a heavier sentence than Speer the Reichsminister," he wrote in his original essay. Of course, classicism was marginalized in postwar Europe for the same good reason that Germany banned the swastika: Both had come to represent an abhorrent political ideology.'.
