Julius Shulman didn't just photograph buildings — he defined how the world sees Mid-Century Modern architecture. His images of the Case Study Houses, Richard Neutra, and Pierre Koenig's work are icons of 20th-century design, held in the permanent collections of MoMA, LACMA, and the Getty. This is a complete set of 12 original vintage prints from his own numbered job series — the kind of material institutional archives are built from.
What you're getting:
• 12 vintage original 8x10 gelatin silver photographs, all from Shulman's job/print series #314
• Each stamped on verso: "PHOTOGRAPH BY JULIUS SHULMAN, 3950 W. Sixth St., Los Angeles 5, Calif."
• Formally catalogued in the Julius Shulman Photography Archive at the Getty Research Institute (2004.R.10) as "House, 1948," commissioned by client C.W. Conrad
• A striking, fully-documented Mid-Century Modern residence — exteriors, living and dining rooms, bedrooms, den, and outdoor entertaining areas, all captured in Shulman's signature clean-line, light-filled style
• Excellent vintage condition, minimal wear
• Sold together as a 12-print lot from the original shoot
Why it matters: the architect's name didn't survive in the Getty's records — but the photography, the provenance, and the Shulman stamp all did.
