This exhibition is the first major survey of the architecture of Vienna-born modernist R. M. Schindler, who designed and built some of the century’s most innovative buildings, including the Schindler-Chace House and the Lovell Beach House in California. The Architecture of R. M. Schindler is the most extensive and comprehensive presentation of Schindler’s work to date, spanning his early years in Vienna, his period in the office of Frank Lloyd Wright, and his independent works from the late 1910s through the 1950s. The exhibition includes original drawings by Schindler, models, a selection of furniture designs, new and archival photographs, and a full-scale re-creation of a prototypical, Schindler-designed beach house for his projected A.E. Rose Beach Colony (1937). Organized by Elizabeth A. T. Smith, chief curator at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago and a former MOCA curator, and Michael Darling, assistant curator, the exhibition is accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue.
The Architecture of R.M. Schindler is made possible in part by generous support from The Ron Burkle Endowment for Architecture and Design Programs, the National Endowment for the Arts, Gensler, Cynthia A. Miscikowski and Douglas Ring, Kelly Lynch and Mitch Glazer, and the Austrian Cultural Institute in New York and the Austrian Consulate General in Los Angeles. In-kind support has been provided by Homasote Company.
