Hundreds of rare art and architecture books and periodicals were recently donated to the Anyone Corporation. This collection is now available on AbeBooks, with new titles added each week. The books range from the 19th to the 21st centuries and from the works and words of the modern architects to contemporary practitioners. The texts are in multiple languages and span various movements, from cubism to De Stijl, the Bauhaus to expressionism, postmodernism to deconstructivism.
Four Architectural Association Folios and three Archigram volumes are among the rarest offerings. There are multivolume tomes, such as an 1886 edition of John Ruskin’s The Stones of Venice, and bound volumes of periodicals including one of Architectural Record in 1910. Periodicals include AD, Artforum, Rassegna, Casabella, Domus, AV Monographs, and El Croquis, spanning from the 1950s to the early 2000s. The collection also includes exhibition catalogs and monographs on artists and architects such as Karl Lagerfeld, Sol Lewitt, Le Corbusier, Peter Eisenman, Toyo Ito, Kazuyo Sejima, and Louis Sullivan.
All proceeds support the programs of the Anyone Corporation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization in New York.
