Moskva, Stroiizdat, 1978 160pp, including many illustrations (photos, plans, drawings etc), bibliography, list of works. Pictorial boards. 22x17. Good copy. Gol'ts (1893-1946) joined the Russian Constructivist movement, a notable building in this style being his Ivanteeva Spinning Factory. But he is best known for his neo-classical work in the Stalin period: massive, but refined and including factories, public buildings and ornate metro stations. He also did theatre design work and produced plans for Soviet cities destroyed in World War II, eg Smolensk. Very well illustrated [Russian text].
