Marcel Breuer’s legacy in architecture and design is remembered in photos at the Met Breuer

The Met Breuer, the iconic museum in Manhattan, New York, formerly known as the Whitney Museum of American Art, has commissioned photographers Luisa Lambri and Bas Princen to take photos of some of the renowned works of the museum’s namesake and architect, Marcel Breuer (1902-1981). Now exhibited at “Breuer Revisited: New Photographs,” the museum’s first architecture exhibition under its new name, Lambri and Princen’s works capture the modernist spirit of Breuer’s approach to architecture and as well as pay tribute  to the visionary quality of his oeuvre.

Lambri and Princen took compelling snapshots of four of Breuer’s landmark buildings, namely the Saint John’s Abbey Church in Collegeville, Minnesota, the UNESCO headquarters in Paris, the IBM Research center in La Gaude, France, and, fittingly, the Met Breuer, which is renowned particularly for its form as an inverted ziggurat. The photos are characterized by their masterful employment of chiaroscuro, adding to their dramatic atmosphere.
