&quotRicard Nickel, whom I had the delight of knowing during

hisall too brief life, is one of the unsung heroes of

Chicagoarchitecture. He was not an architect himself, nor a

designer. Hesimply took pictures, but what pictures! He was,

for want of abetter description, one of the most sensitive of

architecturalphotographers. More than that, his life--and

ironically,tragically and poetically, his death--were fused to

Chicagoarchitecture. How he died tells us how he lived: for the

beauty inthe works of Sullivan, Wright and the others. His story

is one thatmust be told.&quot--Studs Terkel, author

&quotHewas completely understanding of architecture and

genius andof the quality of the work he was dealing with. He

wassingle-minded in his pursuit and dedication to quality in

history,art and architecture. That is an increasingly rare

quality.&quot--Ada Louise Huxtable, former New York


Timesarchitecture critic &quotRicard was an excellent

photographer--sensitive andintelligent, and a very good

craftsman&quot --John Szarkowski, former Director,

Photography, Museumof Modern Art, New York &quotRicard

Nickel was one of those who saw architecture, and

whopassionately and skillfully pursued its portrayal. He was

one of avery small number, and to make his work known would

be afundamental service to architects, students, and teachers

as wellas to the art of architecture.&quot--Edgar Kaufmann,

Jr., architectural historian
