Pedro BarriA(c) Foundation, Coruna

..in the twentieth century: original aspects. With over 200 objects on display (furniture, glassware, ceramics, jewellery, textiles, etc.), this exhibition looks at the set of creative and stylistic influences that have shaped design in the present century, as it comes to its end. In an attempt to go beyond the traditional split between functionalism and rationalism it presents a wide range of alternative approaches, from modernism - Art Nouveau, Novecentism, Art Deco - to post-modernism, including design in the post-war period.

..in the twentieth century: original aspects

With over 200 objects on display (furniture, glassware, ceramics, jewellery, textiles, etc.), this exhibition looks at the set of creative and stylistic influences that have shaped design in the present century, as it comes to its end. In an attempt to go beyond the traditional split between functionalism and rationalism it presents a wide range of alternative approaches, from modernism - Art Nouveau, Novecentism, Art Deco - to post-modernism, including design in the post-war period. To give an idea of the importance and variety of the artists whose work is included in this exhibition, we can mention jewellery and metalwork by RenÃ© Lalique, Salvador DalÃ and Philippe Starck, furniture by Frank Gehry, Gaetano Pesce and Shiro Kuramata, textile designs by Emilio Pucci and ceramics by Pablo Picasso. The Foundation is host to the only appearance in Spain of this exhibition, which has been organised by the Montreal Museum of Decorative Arts, itself an associate of the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts. The international tour has been sponsored by Phillip Morris Companies Inc.
