{"product_id":"kuijer-rietveld","title":"Kuijer Rietveld","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor Kuijer, Rietveld \/ Rietveld-Kuijer, Dutch sculptor Ruud Kuijer (1959) curated eleven striking combinations of chairs from the famous Dutch designer Gerrit Rietveld (1888-1964) and his own sculptures. The focus is not on Rietveld as a designer, architect, or member of De Stijl, but specifically on the process of making a chair versus making a sculpture. Particularly, Rietveld s early and lesser-known works reveal a making process rooted in the inherent properties of the materials used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn this approach Rietveld and Kuijer meet. For Kuijer, it has been a guiding principle of his abstract sculptures since the 1980s. Kuijer extensively studied the world s largest collection of Rietveld furniture at the Centraal Museum Utrecht, choosing from over 300 Rietveld items and more than 480 sculptures from his own oeuvre. Each pairing highlights a specific, formal sculptural quality of a Rietveld chair. Ruud Kuijer further explored these ideas through an interview with British-American sculptor and art historian William Tucker, who specifically researched Rietveld s early chairs in the context of modern sculpture. Together, they meticulously reviewed the selection of chairs and sculptures for this unique publication on the sculptural Rietveld.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"search-metadata\"\u003eWilliam Tucker; Ruud Kuijer\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hochparterre Bücher","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53181920018760,"sku":"1007598982","price":33.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0946\/0255\/9816\/files\/foto01-1991.jpg?v=1779811571","url":"https:\/\/www.hochparterre-buecher.ch\/en\/products\/kuijer-rietveld","provider":"Hochparterre Bücher","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
