L'Art Nouveau à Grenoble
Dates:01/01/2050-01/01/2999
Elodie Peiffer porte un intérêt particulier à l'Art Nouveau qui la séduit par son langage formel. Son affection pour cet art s'est principalement développée autour des créations dans les arts appliqués, mais s'est ensuite portée sur l'architecture. L'étude du Castel Béranger, d'Hector Guimard, et de la Villa Majorelle, d'Henri Sauvage et de Louis Majorelle, lui a permis de découvrir les particularités de l'architecture Art Nouveau. Ce livre décrit la réception et l'adaptation de l'Art Nouveau à Grenoble dans l'habitat collectif, sujet qui n'a jamais été étudié auparavant.

Peter Behrens. From Jugendstil to Industrial Design
Dates:24/03/2013-16/06/2013
Peter Behrens’ (1868–1940) artistic work encompasses all areas of applied art: book design and typography, painting and graphic reproduction, ceramic works such as tiles, pitchers and vases, furniture of all kinds and for every purpose, porcelain services, jewellery, silver and pewter articles such as cutlery and sets, wallpaper, textiles such as clothing, fabrics, carpets, table cloths, napkins and wall hangings, drinking glasses, carafes and glass vases, advertising art, posters and much more. Although he was a self-educated industrial designer, Peter Behrens was first and foremost an architect. During the first three decades of the 20th century, numerous villas, residential buildings, industrial facilities and worker housing estates were built according to his designs. Peter Behrens has influenced or played a decisive role in designing practically every area of life, the working world, its products and amenities. Like Henry van de Velde, Peter Behrens was an »all-around« artist, too. After 1901, he established himself as one of the most important architects of modernism, leaving behind a rich legacy of industrial and administrative buildings, villas and entire housing estates. Behrens is also renowned for his role as mentor to Walter Gropius, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, and even Le Corbusier for a time. From Jugendstil to Industrial Design Thanks to the fervent interest in Behrens’ works by a private collector from Hamburg over many decades, the Kunsthalle Erfurt can now exhibit a vast collection of furnishings and household articles designed by this exceptional artist. The collection contains nearly the entire oeuvre of Behrens’ handicraft, excellent furniture, books and other artworks associated with the artist. Concurrent with the major exhibition of Henry van de Velde’s complete works in Weimar, this exhibition focuses on Peter Behrens artistic works, supplemented with selected pieces by other renowned designers. The Hamburg collection offers a myriad of comparative examples, including rare works by Christopher Dresser who remains relatively unknown in Germany. Older than Behrens by a generation, this English designer was one of the pioneers of modernism around 1900. Precious handcrafted works produced in the Viennese workshops of Josef Hoffman and Kolo Moser, and works by Richard Riemerschmid and Henry van de Velde round off this extraordinary panorama. For the first time since 1980, visitors have the opportunity to rediscover the extensive range of works by Peter Behrens during the Van de Velde Year 2013. It offers a unique opportunity to experience simultaneous exhibitions, featuring two of Germany’s most important designers of modern times. An exhibition of the Van de Velde Year 2013 in Thuringia, organised by the Klassik Stiftung Weimar www.kunsthalle-erfurt.de

New Explorations in International Design 1878–2000
Dates:05/02/2013-31/12/2013
Though we had a soft opening in November, about 25 more extraordinary objects—from the December auctions of Sotheby’s, Christie’s, Quittenbaum (Munich) and others—have been added to our New Explorations exhibition. Now on display, as of February 5, are 101 objects which are new acquisitions (92), or haven’t been on view for over two years (9). Key Facts: Not since 2009 has our International Decorative Art Collection been showcased at Kirkland Museum in such a comprehensive way. These 101 items have been added to all eleven of our design areas: Arts & Crafts, Aesthetic, Art Nouveau, Glasgow Style, Wiener Werkstätte, De Stijl, Bauhaus, Art Deco, Modern, Pop Art and Post-Modern—a methodically planned, comprehensive growth. New Explorations in International Design 1878–2000 highlights our international design collection, recognized as one of the most important displays in North America, from the last quarter of the 19th century through the 20th century. Major, new acquisitions are integrated into the Kirkland’s salon settings. The 101 recently displayed objects are in addition to the many new decorative art acquisitions that have been put on view over the last several years. Although a corresponding number of objects have been rotated off view, of course, there is a net gain of quality and diversity. The hallmark salon atmosphere of Kirkland Museum, showing decorative and fine art together, has been maintained with inviting vignettes composed wherever possible. This makes us notably different in presentation from most other museums. The earliest work is a tapestry (1878) by the English artist William Morris, the initial driving force of the Arts & Crafts movement. The most recent work is a six-piece coffee/tea service (2000) by the late Eva Zeisel, made in a limited edition of 200 by the Lomonosov Porcelain Factory, St. Petersburg, Russia. The items have been integrated into the design groupings at the Kirkland, replacing some objects previously on display, so that they enhance the remaining objects and better define each design style within their areas. Objects in five different categories have been added: furniture (27), metal (17), ceramics (25), textiles (5) and glass (27). The diversity of these pieces strengthens both the educational experience and the entertainment experience.
