First Editions of each monograph regarding the work of architect Richard Meier. Square, 4 Volumes. Volume 1 is Fine in a near fine dust jacket, and the remaining volumes 2-4 are fine in fine dust jackets. Each volume is signed and dated by the architect. A very nice set.

Richard Meier won both the Pritzker Prize (1984) and the AIA Gold Medal (1997). He has built the Barcelona Museum of Contemporary Art, the City Hall and Central Library, and The Hague Getty Center, Los Angeles. Meier builds onto the style of the mid-20th century architects. The early work of Le Corbusier is a particular inspiration, and most of Meier's work has been inspired by Corbusier's idea, more at least, than anyone. Of course, Meier expanded from his predecessor. Some examples are the Villa Savoye and the Swiss Pavilion.
