Includes an essay by Nicolas Trembley. 

Günther Förg nourished an enduring relationship with architecture and design. The German artist’s geometric works developed in dialogue with the aesthetics of post-war movements like the International Style, Bauhaus, and Brutalism. Though Förg did not see himself as a follower of these styles, their straightforward materiality fascinated him. Förg photographed avant-garde projects, including Le Corbusier’s Cité Radieuse in Marseille. In Le moderne, Förg's first exhibition in a domestic space, the artist’s work was put in direct conversation with the father of modern architecture. Built by Le Corbusier in 1923, Maison La Roche was conceived not only as a home, but also as a place to display art. The exhibition, held from October 15 to December 14, 2024, featured a selection of Förg’s architectural photographs and paintings, provoking a fascinating encounter between two visionaries of modernism.

This catalog was published in conjunction with Le moderne, Günther Förg's solo exhibition at Maison La Roche in Paris, on view from October 15 to December 14, 2024.

In collaboration with La Fondation Le Corbusier.
