Description:
The papers in this collection are related to the participation of Barry Campbell in a project to create a 1:50 scale model for the Maison d'Artiste, an unbuilt project designed by architects Theo van Doesburg and Cor van Eesteren in 1923. The model, sponsored by lawyer Piet Sanders and Barry Campbell, was made by Frans Postma and was exhibited at the Stedelijk Museum De Lakenhal (2009-2010) and the Tate Modern (2010) as part of the exhibition "Van Doesburg and the International Avant Garde: Constructing a New World". In 2013, Barry Campbell, Frans Postma and Victor Veldhuijzen van Zanten donated the 1:50 model to Het Nieuwe Instituut/The New Institute in Rotterdam, the Netherlands (Piet Sanders, who died in September, 2012, was also named as a donor). A 1:75 scale model was made for each of the donors. Textual records in the collection include correspondence, a copy of the donor agreement, and a text by Bertus Mulder. Drawings include printouts of plans, elevations, sections, and perspectives. There are also photographs of drawings. Digital files consist of a panorama by Postma & Partner. The collection includes a printout of a photograph of Barry Campbell with the 1:50 model.
