42 Balthazar Korab:
Architect of Photography By John Comazzi
“The image [of the washroom in the abandoned Villa Savoye] is seemingly unremarkable at first glance,” writes John Comazzi in his just-released illustrated biography of Balthazar Korab. “However, when scrutinized more closely, it reveals far more about Korab’s latent potential as a photographer. Looking back, it’s all there (or at least the promise of it all). Many of the sensibilities, practices, and insights with which Korab would represent architecture through photography are demonstrated in this early image.” Architecture Minnesota presents an excerpt of the book and a selection of its iconic photographs.
