520    While Harry Seidler is one of Australia's most famous 
       architects, little is known of his European-born 
       contemporaries. The Other Moderns uncovers the work of 
       Sydney's forgotten émigré architects, interior designers, 
       and furniture makers working from the 1930s to 1960s, and 
       reveals their groundbreaking impact on modernist design. 
       Highlighting the direct connections between Sydney and the
       European design centres of Vienna, Berlin, and Budapest, 
       the book provides a new understanding of modernism. 
       Profiling the work of architects like Henry Epstein and 
       Hugo Stossel, along with Gerstl Furniture, The Other 
       Moderns tells the story of the network of architects, 
       designers, property developers, retailers, and 
       photographers working together to bring a distinctly 
       European style to mid-century Australia. Richly 
       illustrated with rare photography, including stunning 
       images from Austrian-born photographer Margaret Michaelis,
       and furniture from the collection of Hotel Hotel Canberra,
       the book explores the work of this unacknowledged group of
       style makers for the first time.
