Arcitectuur Gebouwen Constructies
- [Antwerpen: N.p., c. 1964-1969]
[Antwerpen: N.p., c. 1964-1969]. Some of the tipped in photographs loose from their glue backings and lightly curled, appears a final photograph might have been removed, else near fine in vinyl album cover with embossing tape lettered labels affixed to front.. Album of twenty architectural photographs. Quarto sheets in plastic comb binding. Consists of 9 color and 11 black and white photographs, tipped in, some now loose from glue. Various sizes, ranging from 10 X 8 1/4 inches to 8 1/4 X 6 1/2 inches. Some with pen notations, including year, either to margin of photograph or directly to page. On the final page in pencil is written, "Fans Claeys / Luchbac Antwerpen"; possibly this is the name of the photographer. The images document various mid-century buildings, apparently in Belgium. Buildings include two views of an art deco style B.T.M.C. building at night (Bell Telephone Manufacturing Company); others appear to be postwar glass and steel curtain wall structures as well as several images of underground highways and industrial warehouses and hangers. Overall, a striking collection of Northern European techno-modernism; evokes the Trans-Europ-Express of both Robbe-Grillet and Kraftwerk alike.
