Labrouste (1801-75) gracefully transformed the classical language of masonry into an architecture suffused with space and light by exploiting the new structural possibilities of iron in his civic monuments.--Suzanne Stephens Architectural Record These Americans recognized Labrouste as a provocateur and poet with a pen and pencil whose influence reverberated across the centuries.--Michael Kimmelman The New York Times The book gives the building meaning in exchange for shelter.--Justin Davidson New York Magazine A catalogue with essays by each curator, as well as by Levine and David Van Zanten, will further illuminate the solecistic inventiveness of this student of the Ecole who at once brilliantly articulated and subtly but forcefully undermined its classical orthodoxies.--Edward Eigen Artforum
