Rhode Island School of Design Museum of Art, 224 Benefit Street
Providence, Rhode Island
17 April - 20 July 2009
Marcel Breuer: Design and Architecture is the first exhibition to treat all facets of Breuer's work with equal weight, from the highly innovative furniture he produced as both a student and teacher at the famed Bauhaus, to the elegant but modestly scaled houses he created after moving to the United States, to the large-scale governmental and institutional buildings he eventually designed for major cities around the world.
Developed by the Vitra Design Museum in Germany, the exhibition traces several themes that connect the apparently diverse elements of this prolific and influential designer’s portfolio.
The RISD Museum is the exhibition's second North American venue and the only Northeastern stop.
Twelve models produced exclusively for this exhibition will highlight Breuer's extensive architectural work from single-family houses to major religious, cultural, and civic institutions. In addition, drawings, floor plans, photographs, video projections, and interactive computer terminals will shed light on Breuer's long and varied architectural career.
