Opening Art on Display 1949-69
The opening of Art on Display 1949-69 on 3 October consisted of a full-day programme with a number of salons that welcomed a variety of guests for discussions about exhibition design and other topics. Recordings of the salons are now available online.
Art on Display 1949-69 brings together some of the most progressive post-war exhibition designs by architects in the form of 1:1 reconstructions. It features displays by Carlo Scarpa, Franco Albini and Franca Helg, Lina Bo Bardi, Aldo van Eyck, and Alison and Peter Smithson. The exhibition Art on Display 1949-69 is designed by architect Jo Taillieu, with graphic design by Goda Budvytyte. The dozens of paintings and sculptures displayed in the reconstructions are from the collections of the Calouste Gulbenkian Museum in Lisbon.
