Oscar Niemeyerone of the fathers of modernist architecture, is remembered throughAssouline's handmade limited-edition Ultimate Collection volume. One of the most considerable influences on 20th- and 21st-century architecture, Niemeyers legacy is acknowledged and honored inAssouline's complete and lavish exploration of Niemeyers 104-year life and career.

Niemeyer rose to prominence at Le Corbusiers side but ultimately swerved from the hard, straight lines of traditional modernism. Instead he forged a parallel track that mimics the crescendos and denouements of human feeling through swooping curves, graceful arches, and sensuous lines. Using reinforced concrete, he elevated the everyday to the sublime. Sketches and original photography, alongside contributions from Tadao Ando, Santiago Calatrava, Frank Gehry, and Zaha Hadid, makeOscar Niemeyer a testimony to the fantastic, artistic journey he led for the past century.
