Paris, Maison La Roche, 1st April - 6th July 2015

Fascinated by modernist ideals and the creativity under­pinning them, a great many artists in the past two decades have notably looked to architecture and design as particular sources of inspiration. Through techniques of re-use, quotation, and imitation, they have invoked leading twentieth-century designers and architects, Le Corbusier foremost among them.

Organized upon the fiftieth anniversary of Le Corbusier's death, the Re-Corbusier show will feature some sixteen artworks from the 1990s to the présent-paintings, sculptures, installations-that explicitly allude to Le Corbusier's oeuvre. By way of introduction, a startling 1930 canvas by English artist Christopher Wood, Zébra and Parachute (1930), provides a specific chronology for the phenomenon, being one of the first artistic depic­tions of a building by Le Corbusier (La Villa Savoye).

This exhibition at Maison La Roche (1923-25), which Raoul La Roche had Le Corbusier build as showcase for works by artists notably including Braque, Léger and Picasso, establishes a new kind of relationship-one simultaneously anachronistic and concordant-with the house.
