Mies In Chicago captures the visionary architect Mies van der Rohe on a Chicago skyscraper rooftop circa 1960, where the German-born modernist master surveys his adopted city from above. Slim Aarons photographed the architect in a moment of quiet contemplation, the urban landscape stretching beyond as testament to van der Rohe's revolutionary principles of steel and glass that transformed American architecture. The clean lines of the rooftop setting mirror the minimalist philosophy that made van der Rohe legendary, while the photograph itself embodies the intersection of artistic vision and architectural ambition that defined mid-century Chicago.

Q: Prints are listed in cm and inches - what size will I receive?
We produce prints in both metric (cm) and imperial (inches) sizes. The sizing format depends on the product type and your delivery location. In almost all cases, the difference between metric and imperial conversions is only a few millimetres.

Q: How does the border affect the size of the print?
The total size of the print always matches the size you select. If you choose to add a border, it is included within that size and slightly reduces the image area.

Q: What are the dimensions if I order a framed print?
The size you select refers to the internal dimensions of the frame — the print size including any border. The frame moulding adds approximately an inch to each side, so the outer framed dimensions will be about 2 inches larger in both height and width.

Q: Are these limited-edition or numbered prints?
All prints are not produced in fixed or numbered editions. Each piece is made to order using archival pigment inks on museum-grade fine-art paper for exceptional clarity and longevity.
