We are very pleased to announce that Frank Toker has been named Distinguished Professor of Art History, Architecture and Archeology! A wonderful teacher and colleague, Professor Toker is also recognized internationally for his many outstanding publications on the history of architecture. Among these are his Fallingwater Rising: Frank Lloyd Wright, E. J. Kaufmann, and America's Most Extraordinary House, published by Knopf in 2003, which has now gone through seven printings and revised paperback editions; his many books on Pittsburgh, including his award-winning Pittsburgh: A New Portrait, published by University of Pittsburgh Press in 2009; and, among his most recent works and ongoing projects, a magisterial series of volumes on Florence Cathedral published by Brepols.
