"It must be tall, every inch of it tall. The force and power of altitude must be in it, the glory and pride of exaltation must be in it. It must be every inch a proud and soaring thing, rising in sheer exultation that from bottom to top it is a unit without a single dissenting line—that it is the new, the unexpected, the eloquent peroration of most bald, most sinister, most forbidding conditions."

Louis Sullivan, quoted from his 1896 essay, The Tall Office Building Artistically Considered in Michael Darling's Introduction to Skyscraper.

Skyscraper

Art and Architecture Against Gravity

Foreword by Madeleine Grynsztejn. Text by Michael Darling, Joanna Szupinska, Owen Hatherley.

Featured image, "Bruno Taut on Mies van der Rohe (1922) ii" (2009), by Josiah McElheny, is reproduced from <I>Skyscraper</I>.Gathering a wide range of art from around the world, Skyscraper: Art and Architecture Against Gravity explores the enduring human desire to build farther and farther into the sky. Examined here are themes such as verticality, personification, urban critique, improvisation and the vulnerability of landmark buildings. Skyscraper features the work of about 50 artists, including Francis Alÿs, Ziad Antar, Fikret Atay, Erica Bohm, Jennifer Bolande, Marie Bovo, Roe Ethridge, Hans-Peter Feldmann, Cyprien Gaillard, Jakob Kolding, Vera Lutter, Claes Oldenburg, Gabriel Orozco, Thomas Ruff, Andy Warhol, Peter Wegner, Wesley Willis, Catherine Yass, Yin Xiuzhen and Shizuka Yokomizo. Skyscraper also features documentation of artist Monika Sosnowska’s process of creating new work commissioned for the exhibition this catalogue accompanies.
