Mies Van Der Rohe, Architect, On Stamps

If you notice Google's home page, it is Mies van der Rohe's Crown Hall in Chicago, as we celebrate Mie's 126th birthday. As an architect and stamp collector, I wanted to share an instantaneous thought of putting all of my Mies van der Rohe on stamps together on the same page! I would be very interested in finding out if I missed any other stamps depicting this great German-American architect, or his other masterworks on stamps.

also if anyone has tips about how to reduce scanned images to under 100 kb while retaining at least 75 dpi resolution and larger image size, please let me know!
Greatly appreciated!

You can see Mette Heindorff's page on Mies van der Rohe on this link. There is a Czech stamp and card that you don't have, and a full mini-sheet.

Ah yes Crown Hall. Went to school at IIT for one year. Spent many an hour in the building. I felt the uniqueness was the building was held up from the outside instead of the inside. No major internal pillars from what I remember. Had a large auditorium which took up most of the interior. The one question that a lot of people had at the time was -- Would the building hold up as well as one made of bricks and steel skeleton. I think that a lot of the newer structures with the exception of stuff from architect Frank Gehry could be tumbled over and no big loss to the community. Provided that what goes in its place is important enough to demolish some perfectly good usefull structures.
