It narrates his family's arrival and settling in Philadelphia and his immediate impact on the Pennsylvania Museum and School of Industrial Art. The rapid rise and sustained success of his business was founded on his relationships with renowned architects such as Paul Cret; Bertram Goodhue; Mellor, Meigs \u0026amp; Howe; George Washington Smith; and Ralph Walker. His devoted clients ranged from plutocrats Henry Clay Frick and J. P. Morgan Jr. to tastemakers Edward Bok and Edgar J. Kaufmann. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMany masterworks are displayed alongside lesser works that establish the breadth and vitality of Yellin's work. The book seeks to inspire interest in Yellin, whom curators and scholars have at times passed over because of the challenges of placing his work within art historical categories such as Arts and Crafts, Art Nouveau, Art Deco, or Modernism. Excellent new photographs bring to life many extraordinary objects. Thanks to unlimited access to the Samuel Yellin Metalworkers archives, a wealth of archival material—photographs, drawings, and business records—is published here for the first time. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDistributed for Leeds Art Foundation\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthors:\u003c\/strong\u003e Joseph Cunningham, Bruce Barnes\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1144\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780300273557\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20250722\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43537859346493,"sku":"9780300273557","price":346.46,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/7689\/2989\/files\/9780300273557.jpg?v=1788261768","url":"https:\/\/www.palmleaf.com.au\/products\/the-metalwork-of-samuel-yellin","provider":"Palmleaf","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
