''Joseph Urban' is a lavish celebration of this prolific artist, architect, and designer, whose accomplishments include magnificent Art Deco buildings, spectacular Ziegfeld Follies productions, and dramatic sets for the Metropolitan Opera.

In 1914 he moved to New York, where he ultimately signed on as set designer of the Metropolitan Opera. He also became immersed in an astonishing array of outside projects, designing nightclubs, hotel lounges, skyscrapers, theaters, stage and film sets, and even children's books.

Joseph Urban (May 26, 1872-July 10, 1933) was an Austrian-American architect, illustrator, and scenic designer. Joseph Urban was born on May 26, 1872, in Vienna.

Urban immigrated to the United States in 1911 to become the art director of the Boston Opera Company.
