This event has ended.

Lori Bookstein Fine Art presents Building a View, an exhibition of the fine art of the architect Louis Kahn [1901-1974]. Drawings, watercolors, pastels and oil paintings, as diverse in subject matter as the quaint churches of New England and the rock quarries of Egypt, will be culled from Kahn's travels from the late 1920s to the early 1950s. This is the gallery's second one-person show of the artist's work, following a critically acclaimed booth at the 2008 Works on Paper fair in New York.

Wherever he traveled, Kahn made studies of the natural and urban landscapes he encountered. The exhibition will examine how Kahn, on his travels within the United States, and to Canada, Europe and Egypt explored repeating themes and motifs, creating both sketches produced on site and more polished images from memory. Ephemera, including post cards from various locations visited, will also be on display, and will give additional insight into how the artist made alternative views from a single point of departure.
