LC ZH 2019 at PLACART – Exhibition Opening on 9 May

 17. April 2019 von Tomas Rabara

On the occasion of the reopening of the Pavilion Le Corbusier in Zurich on 11 May, Gallery Placart is devoting its first exhibit to the part of Le Corbusier’s work which he himself called “the source,” the “key” to all his work: to his artistic opus.
The pieces presented here testify to sixty years of uninterrupted artistic activity and offer the viewers an impression of Le Corbusier’s unceasing development as an artist – and thus as an architect, as well – throughout his life. The beginning is marked by his watercolors, produced in the first decade of the last century, and the end by his engravings, which remain unsigned due to his death – in between, among other works: an almost fully worked out puristic study, his “Poème de l’angle droit,” hung as an iconostasis; a tapestry, Modulor sketches, as well as all of Le Corbusier’s posters.
