Anthony Alofsin (born June 22, 1949 in Memphis, Tennessee) is an American architect, artist, art historian, writer, and professor.
The Journal of the Society of Architectural Historians described it “as an exciting story, a cultural drama about power and intrigue, featuring Wright’s ambiguous love/hate relationship with New York City.
His book When Buildings Speak: Architecture as Language in the Habsburg Empire and its Aftermath, 1867-1933 won the Vasari Award from the Dallas Museum of Art .
