This on-going retrospective highlights Eileen Gray's deserved recognition as a truly singular master of 20th Century design and architecture. Balancing a poetic understanding of objects and space with a profound grasp of both the possibilities and requirements of materials and engineering, Gray produced a body of work that is simply astounding. The Pompidou retrospective presents a portfolio that ranges across architecture, furniture, lighting, and textiles, showing pieces that are mostly hand-made and so literally unique. The exhibition fully demonstrates Gray's masterful contributions to mainstream styles such as Art Deco and Moderism, while maintaining a fierce and iconoclastic independence.
