Product Description
From Library Journal
Trager, author of six previous photography books, including The Villas of Palladio and New York, is an internationally acclaimed architectural photographer whose work is displayed in numerous museum collections, including the Biblioth?que Nationale, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Museum of Modern Art. In Changing Paris, Trager moves through the city following the Seine in an attempt to show the old, the new, and the particularly effective juxtaposition of varying architectural styles. This is especially evident in the Opera Bastille, I.M. Pei's Pyramid du Louvre, Residence Passy-Kennedy, Le Tripode, and the Eiffel Tower. The 64 attractive black-and-white plates of high quality reveal the unique beauty of Paris and enhance the book remarkably, as do the thorough architectural captions by Thomas Mellins and introductory texts by Pierre Borhan, Diane Johnson, as well as Trager himself. A site map and alphabetical index of sites complete an outstanding document of Paris that took Trager six years to produce, both behind the lens and in the darkroom. Recommended for large academic and public libraries, and schools of photography and architecture.

An outstanding photographic documentary of modern Paris.,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Changing Paris: A Tour Along the Seine (Hardcover)
This photographic survey of the Seine examines the structures and spaces of Paris, focussing on the architectural styles of the city and examining both old and new sites. Changing Paris is an artistic rendering of Paris architecture which could also have been featured in our 'art' section but deserves mention here also as a special documentary of modern Paris.
