About This Item
Aldershot: Ashgate Publishing, 2004. xvi., 208 pages, colour & b/w illustrations, bibliography. 'Situated in a Mediterranean landscape, the Maeght Foundation is a unique Modernist museum, product of an extraordinary collaboration between the architect, Jose Luis Sert, and the artists whose work was to be displayed there. The architecture, garden design and art offer a rare opportunity to see work in settings conceived in active collaboration with the artists themselves. By focusing on the relationship between this art foundation and its Arcadian setting, including Joan Miro's labyrinth, George Braque's pool, Tal-Coat's mosaic wall and Giacometti's terrace, Jan K. Birksted demonstrates how the building articulates many of the ideas that preoccupied this group of artists during the culminating years of their lives.' Some wear, rubbing to dustjacket. [715] . First Edition.. Black Cloth. Very Good/Very Good. 255mm. x 195mm.. Book.
