A Tribute to Le Corbusier

Charles-Edouard Jeanneret dit Le Corbusier (1887-1965), Ozon Opus I, 1947

La Biennale Paris is back, and Galerie Downtown is exhibiting in its best tradition.

The Biennale des Antiquaires may have changed the name and became an annual event from 2017, but it didn’t lose what makes it special. From September 11th-17th, at Grand Palais in Paris it will once again gather the art lovers from across the world.

This year, Francois Laffanour Galerie Downtown pays a tribute to Le Corbusier, whose architectural work was recognized as World Heritage of UNESCO. Even though Charles-Edouard Jeanneret known as Le Corbusier is identified above all as an architect, he is also known for his furniture creations, very few pieces of which were edited. 

After exhibiting two rare tapestries designed around 1950, the gallery exhibits the sculpture ‘Ozon Opus I’, as well as works of Jean Prouve, Charlotte Perriand, and  Ettore Sottsass.

巴黎双年展（La Biennale Paris）回来了，而中心画廊正在展示其最佳传统。

The Biennale des Antiquaires 可能已经改变其含义，从2017年成为一年一度的事件，但它并没有失去它的特别之处。 从9月11日至17日，在巴黎的大皇宫，将再次聚集来自世界各地的艺术爱好者。

今年，拉芬诺中心画廊（Francois Laffanour Galerie Downtown）向 Le Corbusier 致敬，他的建筑作品被联合国教科文组织（UNESCO）列为世界遗产。尽管 Charles-Edouard Jeanneret 被称为 “Le Corbusier”（Le Corbusier），首先被认定为建筑师，但他也因其家具创作而闻名，其中很少一部分是经过编辑的。

在展出了1950年前后设计的两件罕见的挂毯后，画廊展出了雕塑 “Ozon Opus I”，以及 Jean Prouve、Charlotte Perriand 和 Ettore Sottsass 的作品。
