Résumé:
A catalogue documenting two exhibitions of works by Alexander Calder and Jean Prouvé at Gagosian Gallery, Paris, and Galerie Patrick Seguin, Paris. Calder and Prouvé met in the early 1950s. They corresponded regularly between Calder’s frequent trips to Paris, exchanging ideas on architecture and sculpture. In 1958, Calder collaborated with Prouvé to construct the steel base of La Spirale, a monumental mobile for the UNESCO site in Paris. Letters between the two are illustrated and reprinted in the catalogue. Calder/Prouvé evokes comparisons in the broad, expressive range of production, emphasis on form, and use of new technologies that the close friends and collaborators evinced in their parallel practices as artist and designer. Considered together, the works in this book testify to the fruitful exchange between two giants of modernism in its most utopian aspirations.

Résumé:
À travers une conférence donnée à Nancy au sortir de la guerre, Jean Prouvé interpelle les architectes, les techniciens et les politiques en charge de la reconstruction sur la nécessité de recourir aux maisons préfabriquées. La Maison tropicale, qu'il conçoit lui-même quelques années plus tard, apparaîtra alors comme la parfaite incarnation de ce manifeste.

This monographic publication covers the complete career of this exceptional French craftsman, designer and engineer. From the originality of his first furniture pieces to the sophistication of his later building systems, Prouvé’s work is an example of commitment with prefabrication and industrialization, but also with that tireless experimentation that turns him into a unique figure in the 20th century history of design and architecture.

Résumé:
Jean Prouvé designed "The Tropical House" in 1949 as a prototype for inexpensive, easily assembled housing to transport to France's African colonies. Fabricated in the designer's French workshops, the components for the house were completed in 1951 and flown disassembled to Africa. The house was erected in the town of Brazzaville, Congo, where it remained for nearly 50 years. Jean Prouvé: Tropical House is an in-depth look at the early French modernist's applied theories of prefabricated architecture. Copiously illustrated, this book studies the development of Prouvé's demountable buildings and houses and includes never-before-seen archival materials from the extensive collections of the Centre Pompidou and the designer's estate. The final chapter traces architectural historian Robert Rubin's voyage of discovery as he restored and prepared an exhibition of this iconic experiment in prefabricated housing, along with an appendix of press articles from the period to position the work in its contemporary context.
