Description

This exquisitely produced and complete slipcased e-newsletter, edited by means of Paris’ Galerie Patrick Seguin, is a brand new and enlarged adaptation of the unique -quantity Jean Prouvé monograph that was once revealed in 2007 to fill a hollow within the in the past present scholarship, so much of which had targeted on Prouvé’s structure. That includes a redesigned quilt and pix, it provides shows of every space exhibited by means of Galerie Patrick Seguin (with archival photographs, plans and recent pictures); an elevated number of personal global collections with pictures of Prouvé furnishings; and a catalog of Prouvé exhibitions arranged by means of Galerie Patrick Seguin from 1990 to 2016.

Also integrated (from the unique adaptation) are a number of interviews with creditors and layout execs; an in depth biography of Prouvé by means of his daughter, Catherine Prouvé; and essays by means of layout historian Raymond Guidot and structure historian Catherine Coley.

Today the oeuvre of Prouvé is thought of as very important to the historical past of twentieth-century layout. Prouvé’s furnishings designs had been decided by means of the internal areas the items might inhabit, and so they had been evolved in tandem with the modernist concepts of the “artwork of residing” and “harmonious habitat” that had been so function of the time. This quantity celebrates the solidarity of his sensible imaginative and prescient.
