Notes

Began photographing for Richard Neutra in 1936. Photographed 18 of the 26 Case Study Houses for Arts & Architecture magazine. The Julius Shulman Photography Archive at the Getty Research Institute (accession 2004.R.10) comprises 537 linear feet — more than 260,000 negatives, prints, transparencies and related printed material, containing approximately 70,000 unique images — with a further 290 photographs added in 2011 (accession 2011.R.2). Clarification: 36 Case Study Houses were commissioned in total; 26 were built in Southern California; Shulman photographed 18 of the 26 built houses. The note's phrasing '18 of the 26' is therefore accurate when read as built houses, not commissioned designs.
