NY, David McKay, (1971). Twombly's first book, in which he serves as editor and introduces each chronological section. Twombly is best known for his work on architecture, specifically his biography of Frank Lloyd Wright, and his position that architecture is influenced by corporate and state policies and embodies class experiences; in effect, that the architectural is the political. At the time of this title's publication, he was teaching "Afro-American" history at CUNY. This copy is inscribed by Twombly to his parents: "To Mom and Dad/ with much thanks for all the love and encouragement over the years. Love, Bob." Dated in the year of publication. Modest foxing to page edges and endpages; a near fine copy in a good, edgeworn dust jacket. [#036821] $550
