The Architecture of St. Petersburg Art Nouveau: Public Buildings. Book One
69.99 €
This book by B. M. Kirikov, one of the leading architectural historians, is dedicated to the public buildings of St. Petersburg Art Nouveau. It provides a detailed account of the creation of such significant landmarks as the Vitebsk Railway Station, the Singer Building, and the Eliseev Brothers building. Lesser-known structures from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries are presented in close-up for the first time. The author meticulously traces the development of Art Nouveau in St. Petersburg, revealing its sources and characteristic features. These new materials serve as a significant supplement to the creative portraits of G. V. Baranovsky, P. Yu. Suzor, R. F. Meltzer, G. I. Lyutsedarsky, A. L. Lishnevsky, and other prominent architects.

The book is thoroughly illustrated with modern and old photographs, design drawings, and sketches. The historical iconography conveys the spirit of the Art Nouveau era and the unique character of the urban environment of the early 20th century. This publication is a sequel to B. M. Kirikov's well-known book, "Architecture of St. Petersburg Art Nouveau." Mansions and Tenement Houses, published in 2003. The author plans to write new books about Art Nouveau monuments not included in the published editions.
