 Tugendhat House, 1928-30 View of dining area, c. 1930 Gelatin silver photograph, 17.5 x 23.4 cm The Museum of Modern Art, New York. Mies van der Rohe Archive. Mies van der Rohe 1905 - 1938 Ludwig Mies van der Rohe (1886 - 1969) is one of the masters of 20th Century architecture. Famed for his ethos of "less is more", his designs have reshaped skylines and revolutionised interior, urban and suburban space. This definitive retrospective of his career in Europe - the first in the UK - brings together 38 pivotal projects dating from Mies' arrival in Berlin in 1905 to his departure for the US in 1938. Featuring elegant villas, prototype skyscrapers and his remarkable German Pavilion for the Barcelona International Exposition, the exhibition also includes the work of modern masters and contemporary artists inspired by the architecture of Mies. The exhibition is curated by Terence Riley, Chief Curator, Department of Architecture and Design, The Museum of Modern Art, New York and Barry Bergdoll, Professor of Art History, Columbia University, New York and organised by The Museum of Modern Art, New York. The exhibition was organised at the Whitechapel Art Gallery, London, by Andrea Tarsia, Head of Exhibitions & Projects. The exhibition has also been supported by the Mies Exhibition Patrons, including: Adjaye/ Associates, Foster and Partners, Gucci, KPF, John Miller + Partners, Lord Palumbo, Lord & Lady Rogers, and Wilkinson Eyre Architects.
