USPS HONORS TWA TERMINAL 5
Masterworks of Modern American Architecture (12)
Twelve masterworks of modern American architecture will be commemorated on a stamp pane next year. Art director Derry Noyes and designer Margaret Bauer chose breathtaking photographs to honor each building. The drawing on the selvage by Richard Meier & Partners Architects LLP is a three-dimensional view of Atlanta's High Museum of Art.
Eero Saarinen initially planned to study sculpture; perhaps that's why his architecture shows a marked reliance on sculptural forms. His curving TWA terminal, completed in 1962 at what is now Kennedy Airport in New York City, is one of the first airport buildings to be considered a great monument of modern architecture.
