Etching on paper, size: 30" x 22". 1982.
The New Art’s Program in Kutztown Pennsylvania held yearly residencies for both artists and architects. Bernard Tschumi was one of the first architects to participate in this residency. A requirement of the program was that every artist was to produce an edition of prints. Tschumi produced a sketch on a large copper plate which was etched with nitric acid and printed using an etching press in an edition of 15. Since JNP&P was an architecture oriented gallery and printmaking studio, they were approached by the program to be the dealer of the edition of prints.
Bernard Tschumi is a Swiss-French architect, theorist, and educator renowned for his conceptual approach to architecture, which emphasizes the relationship between space, event, and movement. Born in 1944, he first gained international acclaim with his radical design for the Parc de la Villette in Paris. His notable built works include the New Acropolis Museum in Athens, which delicately integrates archaeological ruins with contemporary design; the Le Fresnoy National Studio for Contemporary Arts in Tourcoing, France; and the Blue Tower, a high-rise residential building in New York City. Tschumi has also completed academic buildings such as the Florida International University School of Architecture in Miami and the Vacheron Constantin Headquarters and Manufacturing Center in Geneva. In addition to his architectural practice, he served as Dean of Columbia University’s Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation from and has authored several influential texts, including Event-Cities and Architecture and Disjunction, which have shaped contemporary architectural discourse.
Signed and numbered by Bernard Tschumi in a limited edition of 15.
