Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

A unique and playful hand-drawn exploration of the Chicago River's landscape, documented on an eleven-foot-long foldout. > As completed, Chester's two-foot-high, fifty-five-foot-long drawing is a unique vision. In addition to dozens of accurately depicted buildings, Chester included pieces of Chicago's past, including the Union Station Concourse Building that was demolished in 1969 and the immense SS Eastland, which sank in the river in 1915, killing hundreds of people. Recent architecture is featured as well, including Studio Gang's St. Regis Chicago tower and the Bank of America Tower by Goettsch Partners.

An essay by acclaimed writer Thomas Dyja accompanies the accordion-fold presentation of Chester's drawing, enhancing this remarkable volume that will delight any fan of Chicago, architecture, or art. Chicago Reflected opens up fresh vistas of the stunning, ever-evolving architectural landscape that can be found only in Chicago.
