From the press release:
“Fondazione Bisazza is pleased to announce the European debut of the retrospective exhibition celebrating the 50th anniversary of Richard Meier’s practice. The new exhibition will be a retrospective of the American architect’s iconic work and the unveiling of a site-specific installation for the Foundation’s permanent collection.
“Fondazione Bisazza pays tribute to this great architect through a representative selection of his most influential works: fifteen models, more than thirty technical drawings, forty photographs and preliminary sketches and for the first time in Italy some lesser known design objects such as a tableware collection designed for Reed & Barton in collaboration with Swid Powell.
“The Bisazza Foundation is proud to be able to enhance its Permanent Collection with an oeuvre envisioned and created by Richard Meier especially for the Montecchio Maggiore spaces. The Internal Time project is a geometric garden – , a stylized wood of imposing vertical elements in white mosaic in which to wander or avail of the single horizontal module, which houses a seat dedicated to meditation.”
