Speakers include Jean Farrar, Albert Frey's long-time companion, Leland Lee, an 8-year colleague of Julius Shulman, and Mathew Sumich, an artist and landscape designer who frequently collaborated with John Lautner, Donald Wexler, William Cody, and Albert Frey, among others. A reception at the Ace Hotel follows the panel discussion.

    Visual Acoustics

    Narrated by Dustin Hoffman, Visual Acoustics celebrates the life and career of Julius Shulman, the world’s greatest architectural photographer, whose images brought modern architecture to the American mainstream. Shulman, who passed away this year, captured the work of nearly every modern and progressive architect since the 1930s including Frank Lloyd Wright, Richard Neutra, John Lautner and Frank Gehry.  His images epitomized the singular beauty of Southern California’s modernist movement and brought its iconic structures to the attention of the general public. This unique film is both a testament to the evolution of modern architecture and a joyful portrait of the magnetic, whip-smart gentleman who chronicled it with his unforgettable images.
