The Window: A Journey of Art and Architecture through Windows

The window, posits this widely eclectic exhibition, is an object that, like art itself, may open up views of new and different worlds in everyday life. Over 100 works from 58 creators, ranging from 20th century masters to those forging new paths in the present decade, illustrate how this ubiquitous, indispensable element of almost any building inspires artists and architects alike. Henri Matisse and Pierre Bonnard make the presence of a window explicit in their work included here, while for Paul Klee and video art pioneer Nam June Paik it is present in abstracted form. Architecture is represented by Le Corbusier and James Stirling, among others, and photography by Wolfgang Tillmans and Ikko Narahara.
