Furniture Designed by Artists
18th June - 30th September '09
Schellmann Art
Ainmillerstrasse 25, München, Germany
Schellmann Art presents an exhibition exploring the avenue of functional fine art furniture. Alongside work created by Studio Shellman Furniture, the exhibition will feature work by five international artists including Joseph Beuys, Donald Judd, and Liam Gillick.
Throughout modern history, artists and architects have created their own furniture, or appropriated industrial objects, to satisfy their own needs and to demonstrate their vision for an improved way of life. These objects, born from utilitarian, constructional and aesthetic understanding, are made distinct by the singular formal vocabulary of the artist that creates them.
Desk and Two Chairs by Donald Judd - 1992
Multiplied Discussion Structure and Shelf System A by Liam Gillick - 2007
