Bröhan 100 : Art Nouveau, Art Deco, Functionalism, Berlin Secession : design and art
\"This lavishly illustrated publication on the Bröhan Museum's collection, established in 1973 by entrepreneur and collector Karl H. Bröhan (1921-2000), surveys the main trends in the history of design between 1890 and 1940. From French Art Nouveau and the British Arts and Crafts movement, the book proceeded to Jugendstil and the German Werkstätten, Viennese Modernism and the international Art Déco movements, then all the way on to the functionalist design of the 1930s. It uses 100 objects or pairs of objects to vividly communicate the history of art and collecting. A special section is devoted to the artists of the Berlin Secession. A must for fans of Jugendstil, Art Déco and functionalist design.\"--Vendor website.

Jean-Michel Basquiat
The exhibition covers the painter's whole career, from 1980 to 1988, focusing on 120 defining works. With the Heads from 1981-1982, gathered for the first time here, and the presentation of several collaborations between Basquiat and Warhol, the exhibition includes works previously unseen in Europe, essential works such as Obnoxious Liberals (1982), In Italian (1983), and Riding with Death (1988), as well as paintings which have rarely been seen since their first presentations during the artist's lifetime, such as Offensive Orange (1982), Untitled (Boxer) (1982), and Untitled (Yellow Tar and Feathers) (1982). At a young age, Jean-Michel Basquiat left school and made his first studio in the streets of New York. Very quickly, his painting achieved great success, which the artist both sought out and felt subjected to. His work refers back to the eruption of modernity, that of the expressionists, but his filiations are numerous. The acuteness of his gaze, his visits to museums, and the reading of a number of books gave him a real sense of culture. Yet his gaze was directed: the absence of black artists being painfully evident, the artist imposed the need to depict African American culture and revolts in equal measure in his work. Basquiat's death in 1988 interrupted a very prolific body of work, carried out in under a decade, with over one thousand paintings and even more drawings.--Fondation Louis Vuitton website.
