Exhibition catalogue ‘Adolf Loos. Private Spaces’, Barcelona Design Museum, 2017, ill. p. 134 Exhibitions: Paris, ‘Adolf Loos – Exposition Du Cinquantenaire’, 1983; Karlsruhe, ‘Gründerzeit, Adolf Loos: Jahrhundertwende: Rückblick und Ausblick im Spiegel der Wiener Architektur’, 1987 Questions of furnishing remained an important subject for the architect Adolf Loos (1870–1933) throughout his entire creative output. The World’s Fair held in Chicago in 1893 was the reason for a trip to the USA, which resulted in a three-year stay. The engagement with modern lifestyle and Anglo-Saxon interior design culture were formative experiences for the aspiring architect. Today, Loos is widely seen as one of the most avant-garde architects of his generation and his work is presented in national and international collections, from the MAK – Museum of Applied Arts in Vienna, to the Musée d’Orsay in Paris and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. Of this particular writing desk only two pieces are known to exist. It perfectly exemplifies Loos’ strict no-ornament policy, always putting functionality before aesthetic, and his high standards concerning materials and craftmanship. To ensure the latter he would often employ the traditional Viennese furnishings company Friedrich Otto Schmidt and its master carpenters as manufacturers for his interior designs. This model was shown in three separate museum exhibitions, in Paris 1983, Karlsruhe 1987 and Barcelona 2017.

Guy Pieters Gallery
Pierre Alechinsky (Brussels, 1927) Paysage impressionné, 1959 Oil on canvas 205 x 289 cm Pierre Alechinsky’s ‘Paysage impressionné’, executed in 1959, is a large oil painting from an important early period in the artist’s career. Painted after the CoBrA movement had dissolved, it reflects his interest in spontaneous, expressive forms, a vivid sense of movement and the freedom of the brush. The lively brushwork and interplay of colours give the painting a sense of movement, while the broad composition feels balanced and harmonious. This combination of energy and control makes the work especially engaging.
