Unspeakable Space: Inge Linder-Gaillard Considers the Art of Le Corbusier's Architecture‪.‬

[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] 'Le Corbusier--The Art of Architecture' was a brave attempt to acknowledge all the facets of arguably one of the most important creative careers of the 20th century (1887-1965). The exhibition brought together biographical, art-oriented and architectural materials to display his multi-disciplinary output that included not only the design of buildings (among them an important series of ecclesiastical commissions), furniture and urban planning, but also artworks, film and writing. All of these were present in the form of originals--paintings, sculptures, furniture, films, first-edition books, and other objects and memorabilia--and architectural drawings, plans and models; the latter were mostly borrowed from the Le Corbusier Foundation, some were made especially for this itinerant exhibition originating at the Vitra Design Museum in Germany. For Britain, it was the most important survey of Le Corbusier's work exhibited in over 20 years.
