Summary:
Exploring the origins and early days of the Guggenheim Museum--when it was first known as the Museum of Non-Objective Painting--this volume reveals for the first time the Guggenheim's complex architectural history, drawing on extensive correspondence between Founding Director Hilla Rebay and artist Rudolf Bauer (whose work the Guggenheim collected exhaustively) to reveal the leading role Bauer played in envisioning the collection and the museum. It also explores Rebay's unusual curatorial conceptions and framing practices at the museum's early locations. Karol Vail provides biographies of many lesser-known artists in the museum's collection, while others discuss the museum's early history and ambitions. Architectural drawings, installation views, photographs and color plates of selected artworks help track the rise of this great museum.

Summary:
With sketches and photographs, this book illustrates the project and the different phases in the construction of Triennale Design Museum in Giovanni Muzio's Palazzo dell'Arte, Milan. Since the beginning it presented a stimulating challenge, that of providing an independent and autonomous identity to a museum housed inside the Triennale, an institution of great importance in the history of Italian design during the last fifty years. The most innovatory architectural element of Triennale Design Museum is represented by its entrance through a bridge, a feature that enables the museum to stand as an autonomous entity, being at the same time part of the Triennale.

Summary:
This book accompanies an exhibit at gta exhibitions of ETH Zurich that focuses on artworks featuring carefully designed stages—a deliberate blurring of the border between art, architecture, and performance. Creating static, yet theatrical, tableaux in which artists can highlight the interplay between the disciplines of art and architecture, the stages at the same time represent a wide range of creative approaches to art and art making, and they also offer reflections on sources of artistic inspiration, including books and films. A lasting record of a carefully—and creatively—curated exhibition, Theater Objects will surprise and impress architects, artists, and fans of both forms.

Cet ouvrage présente des images inédites qui informent sur les conditions de la conception et de la construction de ce que le Time Magazine a qualifié de plus belle exposition du siècle. Par un heureux concours de circonstances et alors que l’architecture des expositions nationales suisses avait été polarisée jusque-là entre traditionalisme et prouesses technologiques, l’Expo 64 a échappé à l’air de son temps pour déployer une créativité joyeuse. Collectés par les Acm depuis 1994, dessins originaux, plans d’ingénieurs et d’architectes, photographies de maquettes et de terrain permettent de montrer comment cette exposition nationale, dont la gestation se déroule en pleine guerre froide, a réussi à percer.
