FULLERTON, CA, March 27, 2009
/24-7PressRelease/ -- Through its efforts to shed light on a tract of aging mid-century modern homes in Fullerton, once photographed by modern architectural photographer Julius Shulman, Silber Architects helped spearhead an exhibit featuring the historic images of the popular photographer at the Fullerton City Museum.
The exhibit titled "Forever Fullerton" takes its name from the "Forever House" tract of 1950s era modernist homes designed by famed architectural team A. Quincy Jones and Fredrick E. Emmons.
Considered the premier architectural photographer throughout the 50s and 60s, Shulman did extensive work in Fullerton documenting houses and various buildings. The Exhibit, which runs from April 4 - July 19, will feature 35 of these classic images, courtesy of the Getty Research Library. The exhibition will also include period pieces such as chairs by Eames, furniture by Herman Miller, and architectural pottery by California ceramic designers.
In addition to its roll in helping bring the exhibition to light, Silber Architects designed a temporary exhibition structure within the museum that provides a complete visual experience with a seamless transition between exhibit and show space.
"We are thrilled and honored to be part of this wonderful exhibit," said John Silber of Silber Architects. "Shulman's iconic imagery further validates the significance of these truly unique Fullerton homes."
