New Jersey: Crescent, 1995.

First edition of this work on the famed Pritzker Prize-winning architect. Quarto, original boards, illustrated throughout. Boldly signed I.M. Pei on the title page (he closed it before his signature dried, resulting in blotching). Near fine in a very good dust jacket. Books signed by Pei are rare.

Famed architect, I. M. Pei first came to international prominence with the commission for the Kennedy Library. His subsequent success, with projects such as the glass pyramid at the Louvre and the new wing of the National Gallery in Washington, DC are well-documented herein with wonderful photography and text. A quiet master who has had a resounding effect on world architectural style.
