Centre Pompidou to re-examine Hans Hollein's brilliant three-decade career pinnacle

From March 5th to June 2nd this year, the Centre Pompidou will be hosting a dynamic peak into the remarkable career of Hans Hollein's in the 1960s, 70s, and 80s.

The works from that time seen in Hans Hollein: transFORMS leverages a trove of archival documents taken from a 2016 gift to the museum that is essential to shaping an understanding of his celebrated contributions to the post-avant-gardism, its curators say.

Beginning with his earlier spatial concepts research and continuing to such significant built projects as his Museum of Modern Art in Frankfurt and the Haas Haus in Vienna, the architecture and art exhibited display links to movements such as Conceptualism, Arte Informale, and the Radical Architecture movement he joined in with contemporaries from Italy, the UK, and elsewhere. 

This is a great way to gain insights into how the Centre Pompidou's Frédéric Migayrou said Hollein "anticipated what amounted to a crisis of modernist rationalism and representation in the post-war period, announcing the arrival of post-modern and deconstructivist movements in architecture."
