Tony Candido: 
The Great White Whale is Black
May 27, 4-5pm
Architecture Archive, Rm 235
Foundation Bldg

 
The Irwin S. Chanin School of Architecture will host a book signing on Tuesday 27 May in the Architecture Archive, celebrating the work of Professor Tony Candido, who has been an educator at the school for over forty years. 

Tony Candido: The Great White Whale is Black stems from an exhibition of the work of Professor and Painter/Architect Anthony Candido, held in The Cooper Union's Arthur A. Houghton Jr. Gallery from February 2 - March 13, 2010. This publication presents Candido's Cable Cities, a visionary idea of the interplay between humanity and the contemporary environment and what the future of architecture could be, while also highlighting his calligraphic brush and ink paintings and drawings, which have been an important part of his output since 1967. Through this selection of work, which spans the past five decades, Tony Candido: The Great White Whale Is Black portrays a bold expression of one man's life vision, and illustrates Candido's ongoing commitment to art and architecture. 

This publication will be available for purchase beginning May 27, 2014 via the School of Architecture website. Please contact Sarah Burrell (sburrell@cooper.edu).
