A Uniquely Personal Biographical Account Of LouchheimS Life And Work That Takes Readers Inside The Rarified World Of Architecture Mediaaline B. Louchheim (19141972) Was An Art Critic On Assignment For The New York Times In 1953 When She First Met The FinnishAmerican Architect Eero Saarinen. She Would Become His Wife And The Driving Force Behind His Rise To Critical Prominence. When Eero Met His Match Draws On The CoupleS Personal Correspondence To Reconstruct The Early Days Of Their Thrilling Courtship And Traces LouchheimS Gradual Takeover Of SaarinenS Public Narrative In The 1950S, The Decade When His Career Soared To Unprecedented Heights.Drawing On Her Own Experiences As An Architecture Journalist On The Receiving End Of Press Pitches And Then As A Secret Publicist For HighEnd Architects, Eva Hagberg Paints An Unforgettable Portrait Of Louchheim While Revealing The Inner Workings Of A Media World That Has Always Relied On Secrecy, Friendship, And The Exchange Of Favors. She Describes How Louchheim Codified The Practices Of Architectural Publicity That Have Become Widely Adopted Today, And Shows How, Without Louchheim As His Wife And Publicist, SaarinenS Work Would Not Have Been Nearly As Well Known.Providing A New Understanding Of Postwar Architectural History In The United States, When Eero Met His Match Is Both A Poignant Love Story And A Superb Biographical Study That Challenges Us To Reconsider The Relationship Between Fame And Media Representation, And The Ways The Narratives Of Others Can Become Our Own.
