Henri Labrouste (French, 1801-1875)

MOMA Exhibition   March 10–June 24, 2013

The first solo exhibition of Labrouste’s work in the US, establishes his work as a milestone in the modern evolution of architecture. The exhibition includes over 200 works, from original drawings—many of them watercolors of haunting beauty and precision—to vintage and modern photographs, films, architectural models, and fragments.

Labrouste made an invaluable impact on 19th-century architecture through his exploration of new paradigms of space, materials, and luminosity in places of great public assembly.
