Book Description
In 1960, before his skyscrapers and teapots made him a household name, Michael Graves set out on a journey once
considered obligatory for a young architect: a grand tour of the great monuments of Europe. As a recipient of the
prestigious Prix de Rome, Graves traveled through Italy, Greece, Turkey, Spain, England, Germany, and France, studying
and recording the masterworks of both ancient and modern architecture.
Michael Graves: Images of A Grand Tour collects for the first time the stunning artwork produced during
this trip. Delicate pencil sketches, striking ink washes, and colorful photographs show the deep connection Graves
had to the places he visited, from the Roman Forum to the Grecian Acropolis to Wiltshires Stonehenge. They also
tell something of the education of an architect, bringing to light the classical buildings that caused Graves to
reexamine his early devotion to modernism. A foreword by Graves reflects on these travels from the distance of
forty years, while author Brian Ambroziak puts the tour into the context of Graves's life and work.
