Overview
- A major protagonist of the avant-garde de Stijl movement along with Piet Mondrian, Gerrit Rietveld’s (1888–1964) experimental and unconventional work radically changed the development of architecture and design in the twentieth century
- Rietveld’s two best known works, the Red-Blue chair and the Schröder House, have influenced generations of architects and designers
- Richly illustrated with photographs, drawings, paintings and archival materials showing every period of Rietveld’s work and life, including many previously unpublished images
