Inhaltsangabe

At the invitation of the Toulouse art festival “Printemps de Septembre”, the Cuban-American artist Jorge Pardo (*1963) has developed a new display for the collection of Romanesque art at the Musée des Augustins in Toulouse. This collection―the world’s largest collection of Romanesque sculpture―is unique for its coherence with its well-preserved ensembles of capitals. Pardo produced a kind of “Gesamtkunstwerk” that has instantly become an iconic feature in the city and has now been adopted as the permanent display. This book includes an introduction to the collection of Romanesque sculptures at the museum, an illustrated history of its ever-changing presentation since 1830, an extensive survey of Jorge Pardo’s specific works for museums as well as a brief history of remarkable exhibition designs for museum collections throughout the 20th century.

With an interview between Stephen Prina and Jorge Pardo.

In his traversing of sculpture, furniture, painting, design and architecture, Jorge Pardo gives a practical vitality to the fusion of art and life. His pleasure in animating massive spaces can be seen in his spectacular designs for the historical turbine hall at Düsseldorf's Department of Works, the former Dia building in New York and at German Bundestag's House of Representatives in Berlin. This survey illustrates these and other works of the past 15 years.
