Summary:
Cette publication retrace au travers de ses archives, l'histoire et l'évolution d'un lieu particulier, – le Centre d'édition contemporaine –sa production et sa politique artistiques, et détermine sa place, son statut et son engagement dans le champ de l'art contemporain. La période couverte, 1989-2007, se situe très loin du Centre genevois de gravure contemporaine (fondé dans les années 1960) devenu, en 2001, le Centre d'édition contemporaine. Elle correspond à une phase d'ouverture et de développement à un art contemporain en mutation accélérée. Parcourant ces dix-neuf ans d'activité, cet ouvrage tente de les illustrer et de les commenter, de les cataloguer et de les décrire dans le détail.

Summary:
This book is a journey along the history of architectural structures over the last 150 years, taking the World Expos as an original unifying thread. Nevertheless, it does not solely focus on the exhibition buildings; on the contrary, these are continuously being related to buildings beyond the scope of the Expos, thus ultimately providing a general vision of the history of modern structures. This essay is destined to become an essential work of reference within the history of architectural structures.

Summary:
Arthur Drexler (1921-1987) served as the curator and director of the Architecture and Design Department at the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) from 1951 until 1986— the longest curatorship in the museum's history. Over four decades he conceived and oversaw trailblazing exhibitions that not only reflected but also anticipated major stylistic developments. Although several books cover the roles of MoMA's founding director, Alfred Barr, and the department's first curator, Philip Johnson, this is the only in-depth study of Drexler, who gave the department its overall shape and direction. Drawing on rigorous archival research as well as author Thomas S. Hines's firsthand experience working with Drexler, ''Architecture and Design at the Museum of Modern Art'' analyzes how MoMA became a touchstone for the practice and study of midcentury architecture.
