publication of garrick theater salvage book top priority for 2018
This entry was posted on May 20 2018 by Eric
sorting through and processing boxes of carefully cataloged richard nickel contact sheets documenting the life and death of adler & sullivan's schiller building (later known as the garrick theater) has resurrected my laser-like focus or "maniacal obsession" from a seemingly inescapable or crippling battle with perpetual burnout.
immersing myself in this unexplored world of imagery aimed at documenting - in great detail - the drudgery of ornament extraction, transport, and reassembly at navy pier will no doubt lead to a book, where the images alone will carry the message.
like my previous publications (i.e., bldg. 51: american architectural artifact catalog, unearthing chicago, and lost and found), i will no doubt finance this endeavor as well, to ensure it's done my way - using the same trusted people and printers that made prior publications a success - that is, to deliver an engaging and largely forgotten narrative through a combination of images and ornament. thankfully, i have many resources and/or collections to draw from, so i'm very much looking forward to putting all of it together in book format.
note: images and artifacts courtesy of the richard nickel committee, ryerson and burnham library, art institute of chicago, john vinci collection, and bldg. 51 museum architectural ornament archive.
