Description:
The life and work of Le Corbusier, the most famous architect of the 20th century, features in this major international exhibition. It shows the architect as ‘Renaissance Man’ – artist, writer and thinker as well as the single most influential designer and urbanist of the last century.
The exhibition includes original architectural models, furniture, previously unpublished vintage prints, drawings, and paintings by Le Corbusier, in addition to specially built models and reconstructions of historical interiors.
Le Corbusier - The Art of Architecture is curated by Le Corbusier scholars, Stanislaus von Moos, Arthur Rüegg and Mateo Kries, for Vitra Design Museum, Basel, in collaboration with the RIBA Trust and the Netherlands Architecture Institute, Rotterdam. The UK curator for the RIBA Trust is Graeme Russell, formerly Director of CUBE, Manchester.
