Join LW! and author Mosette Broderick for a slide lecture and book signing for Triumvirate: McKim Mead & White - Art, Architecture, Scandal, and Class in America's Gilded Age. November's slide lecture was a sell-out, so Professor Broderick has kindly granted friends of LW! another opportunity to hear this intriguing lecture. *"Mosette's talk is both entertaining and scrupulously researched. I recommend it for anyone who is interested in New York City architecture." ~Lori Zabar, attendee at November slide lecture
Triumvirate is a rich, fascinating saga of the most influential, far-reaching architectural firm of their time and of the dazzling triumvirate--Charles McKim, William Mead, and Stanford White-- who came together, bound by the notion that architecture could help shape a nation in transition. They helped to refine America's idea of beauty, elevated its architectural practice, and set the standard on the world's stage.
