Christopher Long: Central European Architecture (University of Texas at Austin) collection now available in ARTstor
July 9, 2009
ARTstor has collaborated with the School of Architecture at the University of Texas at Austin to distribute the Christopher Long collection of more than 200 images of Central European architecture. These images have been digitized from slides housed in the School of Architecture's Visual Resources Collection and created by Christopher Long. Architecture is represented from Austria, Czech Republic, Hungary, and Poland, mainly from the 18th through 20th centuries, and includes buildings designed by Josef Chochol, Karl Ehn, Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach, Joseph Gocár, Josef Hoffmann, Pavel Janák, Emil Králícek, Adolf Loos, Joseph Maria Olbrich, and Otto Wagner, among others.
Christopher Long, Associate Professor for Architectural History at the School of Architecture, specializes in the history of modern architecture, with an emphasis on Central Europe from 1800 to the present; his interests also include modern design in Central and Eastern Europe.
