ONE WORK SERIES @ The Bechtler
6:00pm – Bechtler Museum of Modern Art
Tickets: Free/members; $10/non-members
Presented by the museum’s president and CEO, this series will explore one piece of art from an assortment of viewpoints—historical, political, biographical, cultural and theoretical—to reveal much about the moment at which the work was produced and how it still connects strongly to viewers today. “Spirales Logarithmiques” by Le Corbusier will be discussed in the museum's 4th floor gallery. The oil painting was executed during one of the most prolific and artistically successful periods of Le Corbusier's career.
The lecture begins at 6 p.m. Because space is limited, tickets are required. Tickets may be reserved or purchased at the Bechtler visitor services desk or by calling 704.353.9200.
