Reviews

Vinci’s story is interwoven with so many different and important strands in Chicago’s architectural history that John Vinci serves as a short primer on many of them, including the First and Second Chicago Schools of Architecture, the birth of the historic preservation movement, Louis Sullivan, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Alfred Caldwell, Richard Nickel, James Speyer, Tim Samuelson, and Myron Goldsmith, as well as numerous art collectors and curators who became mentors and clients."""" - Geoffrey Baer, WBEZ
